We have learned that all the things we thought would happen, did in fact happen. The lefties, under the guise of children and safety and whatever other bullshit excuse they came up with are using Apple to threaten Parler unless Parler folds.

Parler will eventually acquiesce. There is no doubt.

It is time for us to decentralize.

Things that we need to remove from central control:

• Network routing (DNS, hosting): Can probably be accomplished using Tor

• Money THIS IS THE BIG ONE: USD is garbage. Bitcoin is not money. If I transact with you, I can figure out how much money you have. Something like Monero preserves your privacy. If millions of us start using an alternate currency, the lefties will find out how much their Google and Apple are worth.

• Tech: Stop using big tech. Use open source android, non-google/apple hardware, open source desktop systems.

• Social media: Transition to using Mastadon even for tdw. For all its imperfections, it successfully achieves its goals. Edit: Gab supports a Mastadon API, this is how I use it.

• Relationships: Don't get the state involved in your lives at all. If your spouse doesn't want this, then s/he should not be your spouse.

• Power: Start working on getting off-grid.

• Food: buy local

Each of these are not difficult to make small moves towards daily.

Steps you can take:

• Start buying some $ of crypto every month: https://localmonero.co/ is my preference.

• Start transacting in Monero with patriots

• Start using Tor (note: funded by USG, probably backdoored, I dunno): https://www.torproject.org/download/

• Use Linux

• Stop using social media, period. Remove WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

• Start developing off-grid skills. We build things in our backyard, for example.

Feel free to add your own suggestions.
