 I enjoy writing very much. I could write everyday if I wanted to. Anyway, I appreciate the level of care given to the Tor Browser and Tails OS. These are incredibly difficult to breach, security-wise. I do like the ability to express myself without fear of government censorship here in America. I will never cease to be politically a 2nd Amendment activist. Gun rights shall be kept. “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” I believe this wholeheartedly. I will never be silenced or censored on my watch. If I wish to express myself, it shall be done. I do not need government pressure affecting my rights.

Anyway, Tor is freedom. Bitcoin means not depending on the government’s control of monetary transactions. I enjoy using Tor; and Tails OS is the perfect companion to Tor. These systems are incredibly secure and difficult to breach. I do not like the bullshit of social media getting me down.

I don’t care what anyone online thinks of this or that. All that matters is what I think. And first and foremost, I believe in free speech.

Free speech offers words their value. Meaning brings people comfort or discomfort. But ultimately, free speech means the government cannot police speech that some will find comforting and others find discomforting. With free expression, more tolerance is required. And truth is more likely to prevail over the forces of censorship and surveillance.

I shall never cease to express myself fully and patriotically. Times are better in 2024. And this year was all about free speech. How I am able to express myself whilst others cannot do anything to stop that speech from reaching the masses.

V for Vendetta was a good movie. But it is not just the government I hate. It is also this abject stupidity that has rampantly run social media. It is time for a more enlightened way of thinking.
