About this listen

Most of us don’t remember being taught what government is—but we remember the feeling: trust the process, be responsible, be patient. And when the story doesn’t match what we’re living—endless war, rising costs, shrinking agency—we’re told it’s because we failed. In this episode, Mark and Lynna pull that thread until the civics myth unravels, and a harder truth comes into focus: modern systems are built to extract participation while bypassing real consent. Then we name the thing almost everyone senses but rarely has language for: we live inside two economies at once. The internal economy—wages, rent, debt, punishment for mistakes—runs on scarcity and moralized discipline. But above it is a sovereign economy where money is created, crises are funded overnight, and “limits” vanish when power is threatened. Scarcity for you. Abundance for power. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it—and you start asking the only question that matters: what does it mean to withdraw consent from a world that feeds on compliance?
