Choice quote in there from David Cameron, unambiguously identifying himself as a fascist.

“For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone.”

"Crypto is the separation of Power and State."  -iCEBREAKER

I propose here to the core devs to use this opportunity to create a "Monero constitution", we'll have the current Monero developers as our "founding fathers" and a GPG document signed by them laying the principles of Monero and what can and cannot be changed ever (like emission).

edit: this is not of distrust of the current devs but binding the future ones that may come and try "USGavin it".

This would be neat, but I think the consensus mechanism would cover that, no? I mean, if a dev team changed the emission, we just wouldn't mine that branch.... right?

Umm, because titles and proper nouns are capitalized?

I guess it's poetic license with a touch of critical theorist conceit, a stylistic flourish to distinguish proper capital-p Power (as in Deep State petrodollar hegemons) from generic power (as in what keeps your lights on) and the capital-S State (as in the Whore of Babylon incarnated by capital-E Empires from Roman to American) from the friendly/helpful folks in Helena, Montana.

With lower case letters, one might think the slogan merely expresses some kind of exotic displeasure with any sort of government-run electrical utility.

Down with the Tennessee Valley Authority!  iHasta la victoria siempre! 

Not really, the divine right of Kings was/is (theoretically) bestowed/delegated by the (capital C) Church.

Hegel and Heidegger completed in secular terms the conceptual blend of Church and State.

Until Ayn Rand came along and smashed it.   

What is going on with the difficulty today, someone's botnet died ?!?
