EARN IT is another skirmish in the 30+ year old Crypto Wars. For those who care about defending privacy and encryption, exhaustion is not an option.
Power-hungry governments must be viewed similarly to an APT in this context. They are following their very nature, and they will never stop inventing new approaches.
There is no other option except to stay organized and always ready to engage.
I believe in writing lawmakers and spreading awareness, but people who are skeptical of the legislative/voting path have a point: Building things that are ungovernable plays a critical role in this process. Likely we need to do both.
That's true, and keeping people worried about their next paycheck is a great way to control them.
The good thing about this "great resignation" or "great renegotiation", is that some people are starting to take that fight into their own hands. They are shifting the power and taking control of their own lives.
Eventually their focus will no longer be on short-term survival, and thry will take control of other aspects of their lives that currently are not so pressing.
I'm hopeful that younger people will be more aware, and see through these boomer games.
For those who care about democracy, exhaustion is not an option.
This is why people who believe that they can be "neutral" or "in the middle" make me so angry.
"Two sides" doesn't hold when one side is actively trying to sabotage you.
