 Here's my harsh take - "Free Ross" is emotion based psychological manipulation preformed by state actors to trigger action through an empathetic response. I'd love to see Ross free, but ultimately that outcome is inconsequential to the bigger fight and it wouldn't even address the structure which imprisoned him in the first place.

Think about how many lives will be destroyed through war, money printing, deficit spending, harmful policies, etc. Just because someone is a Bitcoin hero doesn't mean the chance of their freedom overrides all of those realities.

Trump is better than Kamala but not by much and neither are my leaders. Vote for the lesser of two evils if you want evil, act for good if you want change. Bitcoiners understand this better than most, I don't get the simping.
