You can always say NO to everything, including your 'rulers'; you don't need tools for that... Just sayin'

Bro, IDK what dream land you live at but that works like literally nowhere.

You don't need tools? We all need tools; good luck saying no to an oppressive regime with no tools or way to defend yourself.

Thanks for sharing. I haven’t read Zimmerman yet

It's always a pleasure to spread my dangerous freedom propaganda to innocent minds ;P

> If we do nothing... Don't you think it's too late? I don't know what country you live in (and I'm not asking), but look around you. People don't despise the state, they are happy that the state has taken their life energy (50%+) and made them *checking notes* - the state in a smartphone (apps like "Diya", "mObywatel", etc), and people are happy to use it, and even people from different countries tell each other whose state in a smartphone is better. Add to that TikTok/YouTube/Instagram and their algorithms, which control the behavior of the majority (what to buy, what style of clothing to choose, what to think about which celebrities, etc.). And all this is happening amid growing tyranny on the part of the state (any state, I don't distinguish between them, they are all psychopaths by default), inflation, deterioration in the quality of air, water, food, etc.

I know :) I was shocked to find out that the most downloaded app among the chinese diaspora anywhere is We(f*cking)Chat: multiple studies of chinese respondents (mostly U.S. citizens / permanent residents who've never even been in china) show that 95% use it daily(!!!), with 82% insisting no viable alternative exists. So you flee the communist regime for the "free world," only to stay leashed by choice? Most ppl want a one-size-fits-all fix for humanity... I gave up on the majority of it, I'm not even counting most as my species (I'm "an alien on Earth, where coercion is normalized"). They get exactly what they deserve. I started using social media (though I don't enjoy it, tbh... even some say I'm okay-ish at it) just to track down my kind, scattered across the globe. I've met some IRL while living between places, mostly due to circumstances, only very recently by choice (never rooted in any one for more than 6 months) :) The rest of humanity just doesn't concern me. TL;DR: I'm not a racist (I'm much worse ;) ) -- I'm a speciesist, and I'm here to find my kind and build something together :) https://x.com/AilliaLink/status/1911523301089780197

I have an explanation for these statistics, namely, the withdrawal of money from China. Officially, Comrade Xi (🫡) allows up to $5,000 (equivalent to CNY) to be withdrawn. If you want more, you need to obtain permission. And so the Chinese have "reinvented" Hawala and they're using USDT-TRC20 (on Tron) as a medium of exchange. Since their diaspora is spread all over the world, you have "nodes" for Hawala. It is clear that all money transfers in WeChat are monitored by the state, and in order to withdraw a larger amount, you need more "money mules" to break large amounts into smaller ones so that the state does not pay attention to you. >>> Most ppl want a one-size-fits-all fix for humanity. And it should be done with the push of a single button on the phone. If you have to go into settings and press two buttons, most people will give up. >>> gave up on the majority of it Same. I once tried to "save the world" when I discovered Linux and FOSS, but I noticed that most people just didn't give a shit. Then I thought I would "save the world" when I discovered Bitcoin in 2014. Nope, didn't work. Most people still didn't give a shit. Then I discovered Monero... and around the same time, I stumbled upon "New Libertarian Manifesto" by Samuel Edward Konkin III. I had read Mises and early Rothbard (before he later became a regular conservative), and didn't think that "New Libertarian Manifesto" would surprise me much, but I was very wrong... 😏 >>> I'm not even counting most as my species I understand what you mean. By the way, there was an interesting speech about individualism on DarkPrague.com. And I remember one phrase very well: if you consider yourself an individualist, you must always remember that you are in a hostile environment. And I agree with that. That is, if you offer freedom (in any form) to the wrong person, there is a chance that this person will try to destroy you (set the state against you in any form). >>> I'm a speciesist In my understanding, this shows a person's adequacy and sanity. But I don't hang out with normies, so I could be wrong. 😅
