These topics are well covered on Zerohedge, and I think I heard about it there when they were first created. I had to file FATCA for many years because I held physical stock certs for a company domiciled in Canada... which is a pretty huge overreach, and per usual, draconian penalties for failure to file.

The head biting factor may be the venue. I'm fairly reticent to bring these topics up in the wrong company and I don't use social a lot other than substack comment boards which seem surprisingly based. But the fact remains that people seem to need to come to Jesus on their own :)... sadly.

On the future, I am less blackpilled. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but I choose to believe that something else will happen this time. There are not that many more steps before we're basically done.. so my belief is simply that we have no other choice. Like nuclear war - either good prevails, or else it really just doesn't matter.

Re accounts closed - is that because they failed to file?
