I am a freedom maximalist, therefore I am a:
🔸 #bitcoin maxi
🔸 #nostr maxi
🔸 #grapheneOS maxi
🔸 #linux maxi
🔸 #torrents maxi
Fuck shitcoins. Fuck Twitter. Fuck Apple. Fuck Windows. Fuck Netflix. Does that make me sound like a toxic freedom maxi to you?
Naw just a normal one. These aren't even toxic things. There are really good benefits of using freedom tech and really bad drawbacks of using gulag tech. That's all there is to it if your goal is self sovereignty.
The trade-offs are flipped if your goal is just to survive while the world collapses around you; freedom tech is dangerous, and gulag tech will keep you safe.

Here's my take.
You need to be prepared. You know what's right. But you don't want to draw attention.
- pay your bills with a card/bank accout
- show them artifical data about your behavior by carefully picking privacy things to "leak" (like showing grocery store bills)
- cash deals
- stack sats
- stack ammo
- stack food
- use nostr
- don't waste energy on politics and polititions
- talk to people and LISTEN
It is your choice to use linux over windows. It is your choice to do something about google's abusive activities, it is your choice to opt in for a company. If it wasn't, it would not be fair for other company asswell right?
Maximalism is inherently dogmatic. You will never be truly free if you pick dogmas over pragmatism.
What do you think about QubesOS? Technically it isn't Linux...
