Taxation is not theft. Taxation is an evolution of slavery.* *It's especially obvious when you consider citizenship-based taxation for expats when one does not even use 'muh roads' one is forced to pay for (you owe tribute to your 'master-owner' regardless).

"we see our privacy policy as a binding contract, and we would rather shut down our operation than do anything that would contradict it" I deeply respect this stance. Thank you for saying this @SimpleX Chat & @epoberezkin It's the only thing that really matters: privacy and its protection. That was my only question. Also today on Nostr, I was basically called a hypocrite: XmrBazaar is compliant too :) I reject state laws that treat you as property simply for being born there (never forget @Roger Ver / @rogerkver's extortion case!) I do believe in voluntary community rules: join & accept freely, leave freely. Full reply 👇 View quoted note →

If you aim to disrupt the status quo, build pseudonymously - be like Satoshi. It’s lonelier, harder, and lacks podcast fame, but it’s your only chance to finish your work without imaginary entities wasting your limited lifetime on real struggles. Support those who tried openly. 🙏

I said it once, I'll say it again about all the compliancepunks out there: 'Compliant privacy' is like... you can have triple anal and still be technically a virgin, right? (Pardon my French, but it’s the only analogy that fits... pun intended.) What is your plan if it's ABSOLUTELY impossible to comply with the future EU Chat Control Act AND still protect users' privacy? Evgeny Poberezkin, are you ready to be the next Ladar Levison? Can you publicly promise will SimpleXChat will follow Lavabit's path IF it's impossible to comply?
