So many people went to the No Kings protests today and waved signs against tyranny and authoritarianism. And yet most of them will continue to support tyranny by voting for more corrupt "lesser of two evils" politicians, by continuing to comply and pay taxes that fund authoritarianism, murder, extortion, theft, and mass surveillance, and by continuing to use the fiat banking system. They are LARPing to feel like they are "doing something" to fight back against the evil they know is there, while not actually doing a damn thing. I don't have any problem with protesting, protesting is great. What I have a problem with is people protesting evil while simultaneously helping enable that evil. Opt the fuck out.

A good example of the slow decline of America's government and institutions is the state of Georgia getting caught with AI hallucinations all over their filing with the Georgis Supreme Court. Citing and quoting multiple cases that don't exist. If you thought people who work for the government were dumb before, just wait until they are all just using AI for everything so that they call scroll the feed instead of doing actual work. I wouldn't care if they didn't have the power to completely destroy people's entire lives and throw them into cages. With that kind of power comes some fucking responsibility. So maybe they should at least double-check their fucking lazy AI BS. Tax dollars at work so these assholes can sit around and not even do their job. #georgia #news #AI #supremecourt #America

Your local government probably told you the Flock cameras they were installing were just for locating missing people, stolen cars, and serious criminals. Mission creep is already happening, and the state police in Georgia have begun using the cameras for revenue generation. #flock #privacy #surveillance #Georgia

The US just banned foreign made routers. They want to control your software, your operating system, and your router. All of it. For "national security" and "protecting children". Tyrants love to control the flow of information. The time for burying your head in the sand, getting stoned/drunk, and watching netflix is over. We are out of time. Either we stop them or you are going to be scanning your eyeballs to use the internet and a killer robot will come arrest you for posting anything against the state. #privacy #opsec #networking

Alabama Supreme Court just ruled that just giving your name to a police officer isn't enough anymore in the not so great state of Alabama. You must be prepared to show physical ID if the police officer in his subjective opinion decides your answers are unsatisfactory. Case was a pastor watering his neighbors plants while they were on vacation. Karen calls police when she didn't recognize his car. Cops ask who he is and what he's doing. "I'm pastor jennings, I live across the street". Karen even identifies him as a neighbor, but cops still demand ID. He is arrested when he fails to provide physical ID. Not even a traffic stop, on private property and after Karen realized he was in fact a neighbor the cops should of walked away. The word "physical" in this ruling is the scary part. Don't go jogging in Alabama without your papers. IMO the #Alabama Supreme court judges who sided with the state on this need to spend a few decades in a prison cell. Maybe then they will understand what taking away people's liberty means. #politics #privacy #courtrulings #police

Freedom tech isn't needed for some hypothetical future dystopia....it's needed right now. The dystopia has already arrived. The ruling class is in the process of locking down our most valuable tool for freedom, the internet itself. They want to doxx every single user of the internet, stifling free speech and dissent. Age verification is being mandated at the operating system and app store level. They are deleting videos and posts while also going after archive dot org. They want full control of what is online and how it is accessed. Most people are still not even aware that decentralized FOSS alternatives to major tech platforms even exist or what the implications of these changes to the internet are. The sheep are sleepwalking into the slaughterhouse. So what are we going to do about it? #privacy #freedomtech #ageverification #FOSS

Reddit wants to scan your face. Get off of any platform that implements mandatory #ageverification, let them lanquish and die with no users. Delete delete delete. Then make #FOSS decentralized versions of these applications or use the ones that already exist. Anyone who continues to use a platform like #Reddit if they implement face scanning is part of the problem. DAU is the only thing these companies care about so let's destroy their numbers. One way we win this is if we completely wreck their revenue to the point where these companies are forced to lobby against this #digitalID bullshit. #privacy #facialrecognition #socialmedia

Case law from the high priests has already determined that code is speech. Therefore, it seems to me that #California and #Colorado are illegally compeling speech through their new laws mandating that FOSS operating systems implement age verification. These laws have no place in a free society. Age verification must be stopped, any developers that implements it into any #Linux distros need to be shunned and blacklisted by the #FOSS community. #privacy #ageverification

The use of drones in warfare is the new equalizer, similar to how the development of guns ended the ability of armored knights to dominate much larger numbers of unarmored peasants. #Drones may have just ended the ability of America to completely dominate weaker opponents with fighter jets and missles. If #Iran is still doing this much damage after the holy hellfire of billions upon billions of dollars worth of high tech American munitions were dropped on their heads, it's obvious war has changed forever. Welcome to the era of asymmetric warfare.

Finally some good #news in the feed..... If you haven't been following, some jackboot thugs raided #Afroman, didn't find any evidence of a crime, then sued him when he made a music video out of the raid surveillance video. The pigs just lost the case. Justice has prevailed. If you haven't seen the video it's great, "Lemon Pound Cake".

Up until around 2 or 3 years ago I had managed to stay off of social media for the most part for more than 10 years. No #Facebook, no Instagram, etc. I had Twitter but I rarely used it. I was almost completely offline from 2011 to 2015, which was a horrible time to be offline in #bitcoin terms. Instead of discovering generational wealth, I was busy reading books and shit. 🤦 Now that I have been scrolling X for a couple years my brain is fucked. Mental health is rapidly deteriorating. My #propaganda filters are overloaded. My attention span is shot. I'm overwhelmed with a sense of impending doom, no matter how much I prepare and stockpile I don't feel ready... I should of stayed away.

#Bitcoin outperforming in times of war? How could anyone of predicted this? Oh wait, we've been screaming it from the rooftops for years.

The most viable method of resisting the state nonviolently is #countereconomics. Every single transaction you make using alternative currencies like #bitcoin and #monero helps move us closer to freedom. It's easy to feel helpless in the face of an enemy as large, powerful, and evil as the ruling class is. You have much more power to create change than you may realize. So get out there and start transacting.

With the new car surveillance tech coming in 2027, old cars are a great investment. Extra points if it is 100% mechanical. We just gotta keep them running until the state eventually collapses and people are free. We may need to borrow some Cuban mechanics. #privacy #surveillance #cars

If you are posting a photo online but don't want your location or identity doxxed because of it, here are a few things to remember... -look for any reflections and blur or crop them out -be aware that with modern AI analysis, vegetation, wildlife, and even architectural styles can all potentially give away your location -make sure there is no names, license plates, or identifying text anywhere in the photo -remember to scrub the exif metadata -ask yourself, do you really need to post the photo? #opsec #privacy

The ruling class was able the distract the entire feed from the #Epstein files by simply starting the #Iran war. It's honestly kind of impressive in a sick kind of way. To be fair, they did try #aliens first. 🤔

At some point I realized I am better off focusing on #Nostr than X in trying to build an audience for the Thought Crime Trap House. One of many reasons for this is that I know it is only a matter of time before X tries to age verify everyone. I refuse to complete age verification, so at that point I might get locked out (a shame because "bitcoinrenegade" is a great x handle). With Nostr I will never get locked out unless my keys are lost. The ownership and sovereignity that Nostr provides me as a content creator is more valuable than most people realize. If I ever do have to complete an age verification process for anything, I guess paying a random homeless person to do the process for me is always an option.

Watch the supposedly pro bitcoin administration use Iran flows as an excuse to #KYC the hell out of everything. Every front end, every wallet app, every fucking thing. I can see it clearly. Perhaps there will be a false flag terrorist attack with direct "evidence" of bitcoin funding it. They will destroy your freedoms to "protect you" from exaggerated threats, as usual. Question, if they make p2p #bitcoin sales illegal, will you comply? If it's only legal to buy bitcoin through regulated KYCed exchanges, will you comply? Are you willing to risk going to prison to make a stand for freedom? In such a situation, the only way to resist would be mass non compliance from the majority of bitcoiners, it has to be too many people to make prosecution impractical. If only a few have the balls to do so, we are all fucked. Either we stand together or we will be completely enslaved. Unfortunately, I think many bitcoiners would LARP and talk a good game, but would comply when it came down to it. All they care about is NGU. Especially the ones who are already buying all their bitcoin KYCed when they aren't even required to. *sigh
