Nuclear take: Americans should #TaxStrike, then take all of the money they would pay to taxes, buy Euros or Canadian dollars to crash the USD, and then put all that money in a Fragger Support Fund to end the war as fast as possible.
Like and boost for a trip to the top of the watchlist.

@Hex@kolektiva.social A nice idea which unfortunately wouldn't defund the federal government, as it's entirely self-funding through money creation. It isn't a currency user, but the monopoly currency 👉🏼issuer👈🏼 - the source of all money in the first place. Taxes never fund national spending in a country that has its own currency and central bank. If everyone stopped paying taxes the result would not be a government shutdown or sovereign default. It would however almost certainly trigger disastrous hyperinflation.
