 “The gravest crimes in the State’s lexicon are almost invariably not invasions of person and property, but dangers to its own contentment: for example, treason, desertion of a soldier to the enemy, failure to register for the draft, conspiracy to overthrow the government.”

–Murray Rothbard 

Today we might add leaking classified information, or whistle-blowing, that exposes the State's crimes.

 Call it whatever you want ... It all boils down to Individual Free Agency vs. Forced-Collectivism. 
 goddamn that's a shitty URL. 
 Which client are you using? 😄 It doesn't show up for me on Amethyst. 
 Rabbit exclusively for actual use, posting etc:

https://rabbit.syusui.net

i dabble in other clients but with throwaway npubs. 
 Sorry, sometimes I do shorten my URLs with w3.do to pretty them up. I wish nostr:nprofile1qqswlsm7jlayltt8neryk7npssqfklx8vpdvavx97445vnftnp4xpuqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wdmksetjv5hxxmmd9uzax4ze and nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcewvzaw could do a collab where links posted on #Amethyst automatically got shortened. Or if Rabbit or another client did it that would be great too.

 do not be sorry. it's not your fault at all. it is a poor URL design from that website. 
 Instead of asking how many soldiers need to be killed to end war. Shouldn't we be asking how many central bankers need to be killed to end war.  
 That would probably end wars sooner. Or just cut off the funding that governments get from the central banksters.
