It’s so predictable because it’s so short-sighted. A classic symptom of the fiat mind virus.

No principled man, with decent common sense, would ever think creating a surveillance state, outlawing privacy, and restricting personal freedoms, is a sustainable path to prosperity.

These are unprincipled men who can only thrive in corrupt environments. Fungus on a corpse.

Principled leaders think long term, empower people, and most importantly don’t counterfeit their money.

“It’s the economy stupid.”

Get ur grubby hands off our money, back off, and let us trade in piece.

You are free to trade too.

And then maybe, just maybe instead of censoring hate speech, you’ll be showered with love songs.

Instead of eavesdropping into people’s DM, you’ll get tagged in public adulation.

Ballads about your magnanamoty to echo through eternity.

But not unprincipled men, who cannot see beyond their nose. But we do.

It’s all so stupidly predictable.

Fuck you, we chose:

Open source p2p money: Bitcoin

Open source p2p communication: Nostr

Open source self hosted AI: #asknostr

Open source privacy on ur devices: #asknostr

This is the way.

Walk tall and kick ass.
