JFC. There is financial, and political, illiteracy, then there is this. It's like they worked on the illiteracy, made it something beyond that, and then honed it, super illiteracy, if you will. I mean, the government, in a very round about way, does secure loans on it's people. However that is because the people create economic value. That value, and it's historical stability, are some of the metrics used.
Maybe they heard about how corporations take out insurance on their employees, and have accounts that can pay-out on their death, smoked a bunch of meth and extrapolated this shit out of it?
More importantly, the scammers who came up with this shit figured out a way to promise their marks easy access to a secret stash of money, and all they have to do to claim it is buy a how-to guide for several hundred dollars in real cash.
The logic is great on this. "Give me your worthless dollars and I'll give you this secret currency that is actually valuable."
Why would anyone want USD when they claim it will be worthless soon? The exchange makes no sense for the seller if true. Same idea for the gold and silver grifters charging way over melt.
Yup anyone who is selling a book and/or classes to anything that isn't being vetted by a third party with no interest in the subject is a scam. The self help section of a book store is basically the scam to borderline cult section.
It’s because they make these people, who have felt lost in this world we made their whole lives, have been given a beacon of hope that they’ve finally got it figured out, they’re finally getting the upper hand.
None of this shit is presented to them the way we see it; when they stumble upon the world of SC it’s much the same and Qanon shit- they’re special and they’re being welcomed into knowledge that can CHANGE things for them. “This is what they should have taught in school instead of that boring crap that I couldn’t pay attention to”.
And yea for lots of em that’s because they’re arrogant and thought they already knew it all; for others they simply got left behind. Sad either way.
The ones that got left behind I feel for. The arrogant ones can shove their fake currency where the sun don't shine.
