    The meddling of central banks hand into a market makes it inherently less fair and not free. There are many many methods they implement that tip the scales, including inflation and deflation of a currency as TJ mentions in the attached image. Keep in mind that these things are decided by a small group of typically well heeled and well connected people who make up these organizations and they are usually far removed from the average person in any given society. To add insult to injury, they are typically unelected and face no recourse for the holders of the currency whom they impact.

    I’m personally anti-war. That said, my personal preference isn’t going to stop all wars. So I’d at least much prefer that if people wanted to prosecute a war, that the funds for war be requested and gained through persuasive argument rather than by sleight of hand or by force and they donated to the cause with eyes wide open and full understanding voluntarily. If the state had to request funding like any other project, each person donating to fund the cause would be forced to think much harder if the results were a product they were happy with purchasing or funding. They could even stop funding it much like a subscription that no longer meets their needs or aligns with their values over time.
