As long as we know our governments aren't obeying the law, and are acting to abridge people's ability to have conversations freely, there isn't really going to be that choice for long, is there?
My government is in the process of nationalizing the internet by regulating it like a broadcast so they can dictate what's allowed. One day this instance I self-host is likely to disappear from the Internet.
Meanwhile, useful idiots throw out the word "Nazi" like it means anything except "person who isn't a person and doesn't deserve basic human rights"

"A perfect storm"
No. You allowed the worst of humanity to control your city for years.
It isnt a perfect storm, it's an expected outcome.

They were shutting down people's access to bank accounts if they were caught donating to the trucker convoy, so by that point other than handing cash to people there wasn't much that could be done.
What happened during that protest was a gross violation of human rights. They threatened to take away business licenses, to take away people's kids, to take away people's pets. The press (the public sector news making a billion dollars per year and the private sector news getting millions of dollars per year in government payola) was playing defamatory stories that didn't reflect reality on the ground at the direction of their government masters.
Ultimately it doesn't matter whether you agreed that covid restrictions should be eased in March instead of October (ultimately what the protest turned out to be about). Anybody who believes in Liberty should see what happened during those protests and be scared as hell because maybe the government agrees with you today, but tomorrow they probably won't, and all of those terrible things will be used against you.

Canada actually has something like that, and it's great -- Interac e-transfers. People can send a transfer to an email address or cell phone number, and the money is sent immediately. Many micro businesses exclusively use it
I'm happy that liberapay seems to work and acts as an impartial sender of cash to people who deserve it.
But we always need to remember the story of Dick Masterson's newproject2. He's just a comedian from L.A. and he created a patreon alternative that hosted politically sensitive people, and suddenly he's not allowed to process credit cards under the USAPATRIOT act.
Anything we build is one half step away from being regulated out of existence for no good reason.

It's hilarious seeing all these state funded broadcasters having a temper tantrum after being labelled the thing they are.
The CBC receives 1.2 billion dollars per year in federal funding, making up 70% of its total budget. They know full well that the Conservative Party of Canada has them in their crosshairs, so they have every reason to back the Liberal Party of Canada that currently has minority powers (made into a de facto majority by the pomeranian lapdogs of the NDP sitting in their purse) because the party ends the moment this government ends.

It's like the French are collectively saying, "we allowed you to destroy our culture and nation in exchange for financial comfort. You are breaking that deal."
Oh.

I would wager that most of the executive leadership felt like they were watching a slow motion plane crash before the campaign launched (if they say they didnt know, they knew), but none of them had the courage to call it out.
Honestly Chris Pratt should build his brand around only being in family friendly movies and he would become one of the highest grossing stars of all time.
Seems like a ripoff.
Clearly it is unusable at that price, yet you're on the hook for taxes in perpetuity.
Only upside would be anticipated gentrification which isnt likely for decades at a minimum.

> What is he apologizing about?
He's not. Show me where he apologized or even acknowledged a mistake.
It isnt there. It's a meaningless word salad written by a marketing team and reviewed by lawyers.

Isnt the whole point in Free State NH to consolidate power as much as possible? So would these efforts not undo that?
Hope this guy has a dead man's switch or two..

There is no such thing as a woman anymore, yet you must acknowledge that people who identity as a woman are women.
