In this explosive episode of the Survival and Basic Badass Podcast, we dive into the rise of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and social credit systems, exposing how they’re reshaping freedom worldwide. From inflation-driven adoption to the chilling potential for government control, we uncover the truth you NEED to know! ?️‍♂️ ? What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • Who’s Already Doing It: Discover which countries (like the Bahamas, Nigeria, and China) have launched CBDCs or social credit systems, and how they’re testing the waters for global surveillance. • Why Now? Unpack why skyrocketing inflation (think Zimbabwe’s 1,200% or Nigeria’s 34%) is pushing governments to digitize money for ultimate control. • The Dark Side: Learn how CBDCs and social scores could limit free speech, seize property, enforce rationing, and ban products, turning citizens into pawns of the state. • History’s Warnings: From Weimar Germany’s hyperinflation to Mao’s shaming campaigns, hear haunting parallels that show where this could lead. • What You Can Do: Practical steps to protect your freedom in a digital age. ? Why It Matters: Governments promise efficiency, but programmable money and social scores could mean a future where dissent freezes your wallet, and “unapproved” purchases are blocked. This isn’t sci-fi—it’s happening NOW. ?️ Powerful Quote: “The First Amendment is often inconvenient. But that is beside the point. Inconvenience does not absolve the government of its obligation to tolerate speech.” – Justice Anthony Kennedy ?
