Recently, in one of the cities of Europe, I saw how these bastards were collecting money. I was asked if I wanted to donate money to a good cause, and I replied that I already do so, without intermediaries and parasites such as the UN.

Privacy? Pfff... What about taxes and regulations? Most of the people around you are zombies. Deal with it and enjoy your democracy.

Honestly, it's nowhere near the truth.

I found this dude in my feed, "savior of Europe." I looked at his profile. Some of his posts are resonating with tax-paying European suckers and gaining a lot of activity. >>> And unless they are removed - completely, permanently, without apology - Europe is finished. Ohhh, doesn't that sound so revolutionary? And then what? Oh, yeah, then the right boyzzz will come in and do the right things. European suckers have shown in every election that in most cases they are... suckers. So, keep enjoying Ursula and La Garde, more democracy ahead! And there are a lot of revolutionaries like this one. So-so, small cheap (because little activity by comparison) controlled "opposition". But it's fun to watch.

In what way? Seeing the IPs?

Then, run your own server.

Yes.

Monero is even more fungible than cash. [ the picture is both humorous and not. ]

It's been too long since I reminded you that Ukraine is now a dictatorship, and that Zelenskyy is a dictator. #Zelenskyy #Ukraine #war

And then I will delete all other mobile Monero wallets. Unstoppable Wallet is the most underrated FOSS wallet.

And no one will even check the info, they'll just believe this dude and his words.

The other day, I decided to reread Walter Edward Block's excellent book - "Defending the Undefendable". Although Block, like Rothbard, became a conservative in the 1980s (unable to withstand leftist propaganda), the book is simply excellent. 🔥 You can download it for free at Anna's Archive.

Back in the day, Ross Ulbricht and Julian Assange were prime examples of "justice". Every government is a psychopath. And psychopaths always need someone to torture. Now it's the turn of the Samourai Wallet developers...

Congratulations on your discovery. This is the best messenger in terms of privacy/security in the last 20 years.
