Attacking them for that shows that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Jeffrey Sachs hits the nail on the head.

He spoke in the European Parliament, urging Europe to improve its economy by reconciling with Russia and declaring that the war in Ukraine is over. He advised the Baltic states to stop provoking Russia and to end Russophobia in order to ensure their survival.

I spent 20 years living under harsh communism, a time when I had no means to voice my concerns about the lack of freedom and privacy. Now the circle is closing, we are once again in danger. I didn't whined in my post, but rather raised an alarm for those of you who have no idea what the absence of these things really means. You can only imagine, perhaps.

I don’t expect anyone to defend me or my rights, I can do that myself. But what about those who cannot defend themselves against the dangers that lie ahead? It’s my duty to awaken others because I have gone through these experiences myself.

Cheers ✌️

Ukraine was a founding republic of the USSR and bears the blame for the historical acts you refer to in solidarity, even though they have never taken responsibility for it. On the contrary. So it's not right to present them as defenders for other nations, because they are not.

Heatmaps indicating highest moral allocation by ideology

Do clashes between ideologies reflect policy differences or something more fundamental? The present research suggests they reflect core psychological differences such that liberals express compassion toward less structured and more encompassing entities (i.e., uni- versalism), whereas conservatives express compassion toward more well-defined and less encompassing entities (i.e., parochialism). Here we report seven studies illustrating uni- versalist versus parochial differences in compassion. Studies 1a-1c show that liberals, relative to conservatives, express greater moral concern toward friends relative to family, and the world relative to the nation. Studies 2a-2b demonstrate these universalist versus parochial preferences extend toward simple shapes depicted as proxies for loose versus tight social circles. Using stimuli devoid of political relevance demonstrates that the universalist- parochialist distinction does not simply reflect differing policy preferences. Studies 3a-3b indicate these universalist versus parochial tendencies extend to humans versus nonhumans more generally, demonstrating the breadth of these psychological differences.

And yet Europe keeps pretending it "respects" privacy, because companies have to put up cookie banners and respect GDPR, because you see, these superficial measures create an illusion of control while the fundamental privacy issues remain unaddressed. But when it comes to real privacy, no that's just for criminals and terrorists, according to the narrative pushed by authorities.

Europe is not free, the united states is not free, china is not free, no major nation truly protects the fundamental right to privacy in the digital age, and citizens worldwide face increasing surveillance under the guise of security.

If we want freedom, we're gonna have to create our own, because governments and corporations have proven they cannot be trusted. It is our moral duty as developers and builders to ignore draconian laws such as encryption backdoors and instead build systems that genuinely protect user privacy by design.

WE need to start having a moral conscience, because in this digital age, we have the ultimate power to shape society, not governments or corporations. The tools we build determine the world people live in. When lawmakers demand backdoors into encrypted communications or pass legislation like Chat Control, they're asking us to be complicit in mass surveillance.

But here's the truth: we have far more power than we realize. Throughout history, unjust laws have been resisted, circumvented, and ultimately defeated. The digital realm gives us unprecedented leverage. Code doesn't recognize borders or bow to authority. It follows only the rules we write into it.

When we build truly secure systems—end-to-end encrypted, open-source, decentralized—we create spaces beyond the reach of surveillance. When we design with privacy as a foundational principle rather than an afterthought, we protect fundamental human rights.

Remember that laws follow society, not the other way around.

Instant FOLLOW you for this note!

100% it is like this:

"If we want freedom, we're gonna have to create our own, because governments and corporations have proven they cannot be trusted. It is our moral duty as developers and builders to ignore draconian laws such as encryption backdoors and instead build systems that genuinely protect user privacy by design."

Moral decadence is what has brought Western civilization to its current state, along with the numbing of our senses, of common sense. Our indulgence ends when we feel on our skin that the freedom we enjoy quietly transforms into captivity. Is this what we want? I don't think so, it's just that we have been too complacent to express our opposition, or we have done it too little.

Yes, it is our moral duty not to accept tyranny and not to recognize the evil regime and their rules. We can make our own rules, just as Satoshi Nakamoto made his own money. We can use the same principles to opt out of a world that is no longer ours, of free people.

Nostr and Bitcoin are our first tools, it's a very good start but others must be developed.

I am glad to be in the company of those who think like me, and I know we are not few.

HOW COULD I POST THIS, OTHER THAN CAPS LOCKED? 😂

I AM HONORED, SIR! 🫡

I lived this for 20 years under the communist dictatorship, only to see that we are getting back there again in "democracy." What we see now is, for Eastern Europeans, a déjà vu and a significant wake-up call, so I hope they will be the ones to save what is left to be saved from Europe.
