The collective fear regarding the FinCen proposal is that tens of thousands will be jailed for political reasons.

That's the narrative that they would like you to think. But the reality that was learned during the French revolution and every time a western government has gotten too big for its britches is to get burned down to the ground. As we learned during the Block Size War, a minority of intransigent and belligerent maxis will destroy anyone with fiat-based incentives. And that is what these guys have. They may have the majority of the money and power but they don't actually believe in anything worth dying for.

This is why the colonies in the US went to war and won against the far superior British navy/army over a 2% tea tax. It was the principals that motivated people. In case you are thinking the we don't still have that today, just check in with the Zoomers. I have some Zoomers as employees at work. Despite immense pressure from corporate they will not come back into the office full time and no they aren’t putting in ridiculous overtime for promise of a piddly bonus at the end of the year. And the powers that be are finally starting to realize it - they are dead meat. Their entire business model is based on using the younger generation as free sweat equity for the Boomer's 401(k) plan and hefty medical bills. But the Zoomers won't pay up.

They (and the rest of us) have nothing left to lose. Everything worth having has been taken from us. The majority of us can’t afford to live – and forget raising the future generation. People, especially the younger generations, are fed up. The people in power see that and they are afraid of us. They are afraid of encryption, they are afraid of decentralization, they are afraid of the ways we employ to ensure free speech. And they are about to learn what every bourgeois learns every few generations from the proletariat - there are many more of us than there are of them. They stole our future and we are coming to take it back.
