Good snapshot of this phenomenon - thanks G. Antitrust was approved of by Mongo and I'd like to maintain his rare good ideas. Clearly APPLE and GOOGLE are now prime targets for antitrust - and more. Their CEO class have all earned killing ( My 200 sats ) The state-capitalist that can cut your bread can cut your throat - as we see every day in various CHEKIST-style shitholes. But as long as they tolerate some legalized political dissent we can leverage that - just as we leverage their ridiculous economic regulations. Welcome to the lawfare revolution!

Surveillance is so pervasive I call it ' Covert Fascism "

That is a major reason for cypherpunks existence and why we - and others of a like mind - continue to produce cryptoanarchist infrastructure that negates this gratuitous intrusion. We do this or we nothing. Cypherpunks collapse governments. Subject: Everyone a remailer: Everyone a Mint: Everyone an assassin https://marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=100872510706876&w=2 Strong-crypto, digital money, anonymous networks, pseudonyms, zero- knowledge proofs, reputations, information-markets, netwar, collapse-of-governments. http://nakamotoinstitute.org/static/docs/cyphernomicon.txt What forbids us translating the freedom afforded by the Internet to ordinary life? I think that blockchains will replace armies for national defense, because a blockchain-based assassination market will be created…" Zach. CryptoGo To launch attacks under favorable circumstances is not only every anarchist revolutionary’s right, but their plain duty. The killing of spies, policemen, commissars, the blowing up of police stations, the liberation of prisoners, the seizure of government funds for the needs of the uprising—such operations are already being carried out wherever insurrection is rife. TIMOTHY " An anonymous computerized market will even make possible abhorrent markets for assassinations and extortion " C.

Cypherpunk revolution

One of the burning issues of the day is how much regulatory arbitrage the USG may invoke against prime shitcoin competitor, Marxist China. Since it has nothing but bad choices here I invoke Napoleon's old " Never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake " TL/DR full-blown-fascism is recognized as impossible by ' Chinamerica ' Only nutcase conspiracists continue to insist its either here or coming soon.

" When cypherpunks are called terrorists we will have done our job " Old cryptoanarchist proverb Professor Rat - 3 days ago My beloved country is falling so far behind in Cyber it may never catch-up. Three examples. Cypherpunks remain undesignated terrorists Crypto-muntions remain an undesignated WMD-grade domain of war. There is still no official doctrine covering cyberspace similar to the Monroe and Carter doctrines. Cypherpunks have been surveilled stalked and arrested by the USG and its minions. So any self-described c-punk that can't defend cryptoanarchist revolution is like an anarchist that can't defend propaganda-of-the-deed. Totally weak, worthless and undeserving of our good name. AWAY WITH YOU!
