So @Boeing obviously murdered the whistleblower exposing them and the govt doesn't care.

@jpmorgan banked Jeffrey Epstein and his pedo ring for decades to the tune of billions but somehow money laundering needn't be investigated.

But because the nostr:npub16v2dg43sg34m3r2tuw60zqv3t2a59pdr7mqq6vw4qg2wwsdljw0s4fenz8 devs didn't KYC the users of a basic (NON custodial) privacy wallet, the govt is tripping over themselves to lock them in a cement box for as long as possible.

We truly live in the Clown World Age. The real criminals literally run our govts.

I don't think using the world "clown world" is helping anything. It makes these disgustingly brutal acts seem too jocular.

We left clown world around covid hit. We live in a complete authoritarian dystopian shithole world now.

Different in different countries, but only where on the timeline we are. I'd say the changeover began earlier, or at least became obvious earlier, when surveillance started ramping up. Here in Sweden, the obvious shift was the FRA law, already in 2008-2009, when the military was formally allowed to snoop on internet traffic, which, of course, has been a slippery slope increase in their mandate since then. Then in 2014, the EU Data Retention Directive was another big red flag, especially later when Sweden decided to keep on doing it even after the Court of Justice of the European Union declared it invalid due to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

[Bank-ID](https://stacker.news/items/402596) is another thing in the same line.

I mean, they wouldn't be spying on everyone unless they planned to use the data for something.

Yep, it's an authoritarian shithole everywhere now. (But I can argue that in the US it really started when our own govt shot JFK.)
