the post was not about any person. it was about government techniques. the fact you do not like one guy does not mean the same will not be used against us. look at what @spirobel posted in the edit. it clearly looks like the same is already going on with monero devs. same playbook. they do not care who the target is. if you are inconvenient they will use it.
Fair. I went a little too autistic on the MLK mention.
Yeah, definitely a technique they use and a threat we need to be able to deal with.
I would argue that it's important to have a community to fight against this. Ideally with an IRL component. It's hard to do that in anon world, but I think it can be done (for private people, just don't connect your pseudonym). I think community will be increasingly important as time progresses and digital community is good, but often doesn't cut it.
Also, not saying I ever attended or will attend monerotopia, but if I did and saw someone harassing KingTerry I would be not very nice and I'm good at being not very nice.
MLK Jr was a socialist and probably a rapist. His veneration is based off of false premises.
He believed in forcible integration and wealth redistribution.
If you want to know why the state got much larger, the Civil Rights Act is a huge part of it since every private relationship and association now had to be mediated by the state for racism/sexism. It was one of the first instances of thought policing. The CRA wasn't the start of the decline of America, but it was a catalyst.
