Nostrasia Edward Snowden notes #1

"everybody is shouting and noone is listening"

small community is better.
"government is done to us". They don't want pushback. Comfortable silence, "we'll fix the problems if you let us".

The point of democracy is that we can debate.

average people (gross) don't have a huge desire to understand and use security. npubs and nsecs are meaningless to people used to usernames.

adversaries are studying us like we're studying them.
"authoritarian center of gravity" governments move towards using emergencies to violate civil rights.
