Loss of the Gold Standard and Fiat Fapping
“When They Let Go of Gold… and Grabbed Their Flesh!” by Holy Upset George

"Brothers and sisters!
We gathered here today not just for a sermon — but for an economic exorcism!
‘Cause I’ve seen the devil, and he ain’t wearin’ horns — he’s reading Milton Friedman and tradin’ FTT!
I’m taken you back to that unholy moment — 1971!
When America said, ‘We don’t need no gold — just vibes and Federal Reserve press releases!’
We used to have discipline! You wanted money? You worked! You saved! You earned!
Now? You got TikTok influencers callin’ themselves “financial gurus” and government spenders who make Monopoly players look cautious!
And don't get me started on the flesh! Back in the day, a man couldn't even touch his own belt buckle without feelin’ the fire of God! Now folks got subscription services and buy plastic dummies for sin!
The gold is gone. The virtue is gone. The pants? Also gone!"
"May LAWD HAVE MERCY!


🪙💸 “From Gold to Godlessness: The Fiat Mindset in a Post-Discipline World”
When money left the vault, and virtue left the body
⚖️ PART I: The Loss of the Gold Standard — and the Rise of the Fiat Mindset
Gold = Constraint, Discipline, Tangibility
The gold standard forced governments to live within their means.
Money had to be earned, not conjured.
Fiat = Belief, Abstraction, Unaccountability
Fiat money is based on trust in institutions and has no intrinsic backing.
If belief fails — inflation, instability, and disillusionment follow.
From Anchored to Airborne
Gold made money feel rooted in reality. Fiat makes it feel like floating promises.
This changes how citizens, governments, and CEOs think about responsibility.
🧠 PART II: The Fiat Mentality — Disconnected from Country and People
Money = Just Numbers
Spending, debt, and deficits become abstract accounting, not moral or national concerns.
Voters become spectators; officials become managers of illusion.
No More “Owe it to the Next Generation”
With fiat, there's no hard constraint — only kicking the can.
The future becomes someone else's problem.
Market > Nation
Fiat economics supports mobile capital and globalism.
Loyalty to community and country erodes under the pursuit of yield.
🙈 PART III: The Moral Parallel — From Puritan Discipline to “Do What Feels Good”
Puritan Values = Constraint, Modesty, Restraint
Sexual restraint (including “no fap” ideology) was a symbol of spiritual and social self-control.
Work ethic, thrift, and duty were not just virtues — they were sacred.
Modern Culture = Fiat Morality
Just as money is now printed from nothing, desires are now indulged without limits.
Pleasure is the currency, and self-restraint is outdated.
"No Gold, No God, No Guilt" Era
Just as we abandoned financial discipline, we’ve shed moral guardrails.
From OnlyFans to open borders, the ethos is: "If it feels good, monetize it."
🧨 PART IV: The Fallout — When Nothing Has to Mean Anything
Inflation of Currency → Inflation of Desire
What money used to buy and what intimacy used to mean — both now cheapened.
Speculation in Markets → Speculation in Identity
Everything is fluid, tradable, and self-defined — from Bitcoin to gender.
Debt in Dollars → Debt in Discipline
We’ve borrowed against the future — financially, spiritually, and culturally.
🙏 Final Thought:
When the gold was melted, so too were the moral restraints.
We now live in the Fiat Republic of Feelings, where value is whatever someone will believe in long enough to buy — or swipe.
"So what’s the solution, my fiat-fried flock?
Is it another stimulus check? Another OnlyFans account?
NO, SIR!
We need to return to value that don’t vanish!
To truth that don’t deflate!
To savings that don’t come from sin subscriptions and speculative NFTs shaped like pickles!
Bring back virtue! Bring back value! Bring back the day when money was honest and zippers stayed zipped!
'Cause I tell you now:
You can’t print dignity.
You can’t borrow back your soul.
And you sure can’t fap your way to fiscal responsibility!
The gold was heavy — but the truth always is!
Can I get a HALLELUJAH FOR HARD MONEY?!"
