I read a lot of headlines and stories, and the message is FEAR, FEAR, FEAR, BE AFRAID, LOOK HOW POWERFUL THE ENEMY IS, LOOK AT ALL THE WAYS THEY WILL VIOLATE YOUR RIGHTS, and the message is so often.

"Here are ways to hide and only pretend to comply in real life while secretly defying authority." It’s the Anne Frank model of resistance, hiding in the basement while any compromise of op-sec can do you in and ruin you.

The alternative — the one that wins IMO — is the Rosa Parks model where you just stand up and say no, in plain sight, and they realize you are not going to budge, and the freedom tech gives you the power to resist, and they stand down.

Instead of hiding and worrying, you are relaxed and transparent.

You don’t broadcast your personal affairs to the world, but if someone wanted to find out roughly the net worth of some powerful person today in fiat that’s relatively easy to do, and that’s not a problem.
