Comment on What's up with all the "___punk" stuff?

Alphabet boys are excellent at dividing and conquering. The only term I'm willing to engage with is cypherpunk which has origins in cryptography and other privacy enhancing technologies. Our current situation makes corroboration difficult as privacy as become so grossly stigmatized beyond belief.

I desperately wish for a reunion of like-minded privacy enthusiasts (what was cypherpunks). Unfortunately I'm more often than not met with hostility because our kind is often pessimistic, critical, and honestly paranoid of others being feds lol

It's a tough struggle but I think the other _*punks were an attempt at renewing the movements of old in a new way.
