The US has wantonly applied “sanctions” all over the place, which in lay terms means “we take your money electronically and/or prevent you from moving money”.

  Yes! We have faithless actors as well. Civil forfeiture is another one. They should not be able to confiscate people's property until they have had due process and found to have unlawfully come to said property. I use Canada as an example because it was a vast and wanton act by the government affecting and threatening thousands of accountholders at once. It's a shame we don't have more libertarians representing the interests of the people in the Congress. Can only hope whomever might be the next president would have the Coglioni to reform civil forfeiture.

    But as long as the people who are victimized first are unsympathetic, no one's going to complain about it. They were rednecks and vaccine deniers and white supremacists and blue collar workers, all the sorts of people who are bad. Thus, doing this to them was justified and good. Meaning the government should have such powers. If only there were some sort of clever computer algorithm that could create a money system that no one can track of block.
