Why? Im my case I felt really liberated and optimistic about the future (even though is looking dystopian for the time being)

Why is it brutal and unforgiving?
Because a lot of people is kind of trying to impose a totalitarian dystopia with all the bells and wistles imo, digital ID, CBDCs, etc...
I also feel liberated and optimistic, but the work of advancing freedom across a few domains is very difficult, sometimes lonely, usually unpaid or criminally underpaid, and sometimes you have to fight allies as much as enemies.
