Tech, or "a better gun", is never the solution. All tech is co-opted by the existing hierarchy. The present "demoncratic" hierarchies are supposedly "constitutionally limited" in their statute making power, but in reality, and certainly in the public mindset, that "statute making power, backed up by police with guns, courts and jail", is an unlimited power which allegedly may abrogate any and every human right. In Australia, the States claim "the balance" of power after those powers reserved (and exercised) by the Federal Commonwealth Government, and what they mean by "the balance" is "all possible other powers". This is of course both simultaneously farcical, yet a fact on the ground in the public mindset. Civil disobedience, but coordinated, determined, persistent and founded in fundamentals such as our basic human rights, is your solution. NO technology solution will overcome a complacent (i.e. tacitly consenting) populace. We have no option, but to create, harness, and turbocharge, meat space relationships. Yes we can use any and every technology that we are able to assist in our meme spreading, in our civil disobedience, but the tech will never, of itself, solve any problem for us. "Give" some humans a little extra "courage" to speak their mind perhaps, yes, but not solve the problem. Why won't technology ABC solve the problem(s)? Because "the government" just brings in a statute "law" to "outlaw" whatever it is TPTB are opposed to - certain speech, certain money and transactions, certain group and group coordination (we now have "non association" laws on the books here in Australia). We actually have to handle TPTB - we have to handle the average Joe's desire for external authority, i.e. his desire for coordinated government ("even if it is slightly sub optimal"). We have to handle the herd nature, the tribal instinct, of Joe Sixpack. We cannot ignore such foundational human natures and expect to usher in our version of utopia. Trannies being voted in left and right? That's now a fact on the ground, a resource to be harnessed (heard on the grape vine :) Go talk personally to your MP, or set up your off the grid survival bunker | orchard.

samdane7777 "This is not what crypto is about. We need to fund as much DEX development as humanly possible. This issue is going to get worse and worse until we do. Please dear God, read the fine print. This 'mentality' disguised as 'national security' is whole sale neocolonial, racist, oppressive domineering predominantly against the global south, or just generally any smaller struggling country to 'punch down'. It's such overt imperialism it's hard to call it by any other name. And you know the shit kicker? I screen shotted this from a "DEX" well I got news for you folks, it ain't a real DEX if it requires a ToS like this. ... I'm not going to shut up about FATF, because this is what FATF is about. Andreas doesn't agree with this. Cypherpunk doesn't agree with this. How can the crypto community possible be pro FATF? This is not what bitcoin was made for. FATF is imperialism."
