Here’s an unpleasant fact to contemplate:

You can be killed. Easily.

You can be killed on the street by a drug-addled psycho, you can be killed by the police for non-compliance.

You can die of a heart attack or cancer or medical error (three leading causes of death in the US), and you will definitely die of something one day. That is a given.

But that is not a good reason not to stand up for your rights openly and fight for them.

Kant’s Categorical Imperative: Act Only On That Maxim You Would Will To Be A Universal Law.

In other words, do what you’d like to see everyone do. Do you think people should stand up to the State’s overreach? Or grumble about it powerlessly behind an anon handle and let it happen?

You choose how it will go by your own actions. You create the ethos of the world.

"Grumbling about it powerlessly"? Mmmm... No, debasing the fake money effectively destroys their power machine. It is a literal transfer of power, to us, real money hodlers.

You sound like a spook trying to make people loose their anonymity. Nice try tho.

Calling me a spook is weak. Like some wokster on Twitter calling someone with whim they disagree a racist. Disappointing to find that same mentality here.

No need to be offended. I bet it's a good salary.

Snowden is a spook too, but at least he's got better material.

Here's a quote from him: "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."

I’m not offended. I just realize you’re not a serious person.
