 That's exactly the point I'm making: The Samourai coinjoin coordinators were hunted and imprisoned by a democratic government, and you responded by writing a pro-democracy article instead of condemning democracy as the predator that targeted them.

So yeah, they'd be incredibly insulted that you used their martyrdom to promote their persecutors.

 I wrote a pro-CoinJoin article. In that article, I pointed out the hypocrisy of those democratic governments, given the use of CoinJoins for pro-democracy, anti-authoritarian protests. CoinJoins are good. Democracies that are against them are hypocritical. I stand by both of those claims.

 Why can't you just say "coinjoins are good, democracies are evil"?

 Because I don’t think you have to believe democracies are evil to believe that the Samourai devs did nothing wrong.

 If democracies are as harmless as you seem to think they are, then how about you run a coinjoin coordinator?

 I suspect you’re having a hard time with the logic of conditionals.

 No I don't, you told people they should run a coordinator in your article. I'm running one, why aren't you?

 and i suspect you aren't the real Bradley Rettler.

your NIP-05 is broken and your school website doesn't link to this npub. either one should be an easy fix for the real Brad.

but using a NIP-05 service doesn't really prove anything in this case.
