I grew up with the idea that politics should not be discussed. As if having a political opinion was like supporting a football team, something that automatically made you the enemy of someone else. As if it were something dirty. A bit like money.

But the truth is that you can’t live your life without doing politics. Not talking about politics is politics. It’s accepting the status quo. And what’s so wrong about saying what you want for yourself? About saying who you wish could lead your country? We ended up where we are also because they turned into taboos everything that actually gives people real power: money, politics, freedom.

Today 25 April in Italy we celebrate the liberation from fascism. And I keep wondering how it was possible that so many people stayed silent during those years. Were they afraid? Were they convinced it wasn’t their problem? And would we really act differently if faced with the same injustices?

I wonder if we would have the strength to speak up when something becomes too big, too dangerous to denounce. Maybe we already are. Because groups like ours are already a form of resistance. Against something that has already become too big, too oppressive, too exclusive: the financial system.

Our grandparents fought against physical violence. We are fighting against economic violence. And it can be just as brutal. Because if we don’t have the freedom to earn, keep, and spend money without permission, we are not free.

Bitcoin is our way of resisting. And this community is our way of keeping the spirit of freedom alive. Every generation must find its own way to defend it.

Happy Liberation Day, Bitcoin Bitches.

good words. physical violence is still real, not far from Italy. russians are famous for being "outside of politics", just as you describe italians were during those years.

I'm gen X but feel like "you could lose a few pounds" 😛

If they wanted to hit military officers, why did they use a fragmentation bomb and not a penetrator? In Kryvyi Rih a missile exploded in the air and hit civilians with shrapnel. I can give you dozens of examples of missiles flying into national museums in remote regions of ukraine. if you don't understand the issue, stay out of it.
