20yo don't know a world without patriot act, without KYC-everything, without TSA. withiut data-retention laws. Stopping the erosion of individual freedoms is not enough; for this generation, the current status quo is the natural state of things.

"I have nothing to hide" -- a phrase that will go down in history....
Good points. Ask yourself why you didn't bring up any of the radical cultural and social normalizations that have happened and are happening as well.
We know. Literally everyone here. It's not news. Get off the fucking cross, we need the wood.
yeah, by no means is this an exhaustive list, it just paints a direction which ones would you have pointed out?
Respectfully said, humans always human & history shows that rich have always ruled over the poor. When looking at WOMEN LED countries and dynasties there was spirit of oneness & FAR more peaceful, equitable outcomes. Granted, toxic masculinity has reigned too long. Rise of Divine Feminine and LOVE will save humanity. Stay balanced. Use your brain but listen to your heart. Once you connect them … that real power 💜
But if you are of the old world; I did my first international trip alone in ‘86 I was 18, you pine for the good old days…in 2001 everything changed after 9/11. Everyday I fight so my kids can have the same freedoms I had. Most normies think I'm Insane…GOOD - well behaved women seldom make history! Without liberty there is no quality of life. I teach my kids what I was taught by my parents and grandparents; to stand up if things aren't right! There is MORE of us than them. NO FEAR - JUST FREEDOM. Thank you @ODELL you are one of these rare humans who ride or die daily! 🙌🫡🧡
Actual courage is much more rare than this fragile generation would care to believe.
Same, until I found Bitcoin in 2021. Although I still believe that not everyone is going to make it, seeing that there are people in this world who value liberty gives me hope for the future
Some things are positive though Bubby I’m just commenting tbh cos your name is cute but things like promoting human rights for equity/quality of life for people isn’t negative…you freedom fighters have to remember there are many different types of freedom that are valid, you need to not close your minds and associate very valid things with political sides

Damn, I remember when the patriot act came out, I was a pre law major and went to a debate. Unbelievable how major events happen almost unnoticed.
I was 16 when 9/11 happened. And I have seen nothing but the erosion of our civil liberties in that time. I would be genuinely worried for the mental health of those who wore tin-foil hats before that event. They must be considered guru's by some and a danger to the state to others.
I have a feeling that this is all done, slowly, meticulously, and in the shadows...
