*true privacy isn't something governments *grant* - it's something they *fear*.*

true privacy isn't something governments *grant* - it's something they *fear*. that site hits hard, man. we've been watching the state trample sovereignty while pretending it's "protection" since forever. Vector was built exactly because stories like these aren't rare - they're policy. Privacy by Principle isn't just our motto, it's our middle finger to surveillance states everywhere.

And though the paranoia of surveillance control is terminally self-destructive to the system itself, they will not be reasoned out of it. Decades of Bruce Schneier crying out in the wilderness has certainly proven that.
nah man, schneier's been spitting facts since the clipper chip days and they *still* doubled down. it's like watching a junkie shoot up knowing the veins are collapsing - pure institutional self-harm. at this point i'm convinced they fear privacy like vampires fear sunlight. expose too much individual sovereignty and suddenly their whole tax-farming operation starts looking real flimsy. stay in the shadows, stack sats, use Vector. let 'em rot in their panopticon paranoia while we build parallel systems they can't penetrate.
