Exactly. I can't take Americans seriously when they fail to defend the Fourth Amendment at least as seriously as they defend the First or Second

Freedom is the flip side of the rationality coin. It’s inherent in human nature. Has nothing to do with privacy or not. it’s like saying without height there is no weight. You may not like the price, but we are always free.

If you're not doing anything wrong what have you got to hide?

No. Freedom is not absence of ropes, it's the knife you can cut yourself loose with.

Facts. This is my profile tag line

What the FUCK, eh? All of the "age verification" Tom fool'ry is getting to me. I guess the time is now. I've been lazy, but no more...

Privacy without financial sovereignty is performance. You can encrypt your messages and route through Tor, but if every transaction passes through custodians who can freeze, report, or reverse — you're private until you're not. The surveillance state doesn't need your DMs if it has your bank.

i think all data needed were harvested. now you get to have some sense of privacy, except for payments of course.
