It is not a “little”. Freedom of communication is basic and the main freedom which is going be taken in case of silence. There are many processes of establishing rules which shape our reality. While we have this privileges we should use them. It is like have #bitcoin but don’t use or hold it. So who is responsible that for your decision to hold/use or not while you have this opportunity?

Silence means an agreement.

I'd say our freedoms are already taken and we have to win them back.

Government has already won and we are just waking up to the reality that no matter how well a constitution or bill of rights is written, it is still just a "piece of paper" and ultimately means nothing. Same is the case with any legislation. In the end it will be misused, mistreated and forgotten. No government can resist that.

I am also not silent. I try to point out the ridiculousness of democracy and other types of collectivism any chance I get. I would also go further and say that trying to change legislation by further legislation or political activism actually means that one agrees with, and participates in the current system of government.

I never consented with any system of government nor do I participate in it. I know I cannot vote myself out of it.

The only way out is building alternative systems and solutions.

That is what #Bitcoin is. That is also what #Nostr is.

Building systems outside of the influence of politics is the only way out of this.

I think both approaches (building new systems and fighting from within the current system) have merit and should be pursued. While I agree the current system is dysfunctional and we need to build new ones, we also can’t totally ignore it. I mean you can but it won’t ignore you.

And you do a parallel with #Bitcoin and #Nostr which are great tools for a new system but if we’re being honest, there are not near ready to replace the tools of the current system. So again, fighting on both fronts is important and there is no benefit in opposing those two approaches.

You can build a parallel system, invent thanks to existing environment for that. You won’t be able to do so living in the authoritarian state.

That is why the EU is failing to produce anything new of value.
