My wife already says, "When you talk about Nostr, you sound like you're part of the resistance or something. Just remember you have a wife and kid."

I was really upset when Snowden revealed the US mass surveillance program effectively ended the 4th amendment.

The Twitter files and Tornado Cash arrest make it seem as if the 1st amendment is now on the chopping block as well.

Nostr and bitcoin give me hope because we can **resist without violence**, which is good because 2A might have been a viable option against militias, but won't help much to protect us against a standing army equipped with drones.

I don't see your post as doom and gloom. I see your scenario as a minor annoyance that we can circumvent.
