Stop begging the government for permission to exercise their rights. They are not our friends.

Excerpt:
"Yesterday’s guilty verdict for Roman Storm on the count of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money service business is absolutely insane.
FinCEN, the regulator responsible for licensing, monitoring, and enforcement actions concerning criminal activity in money transmission has itself explicitly stated that self-custodial tooling that facilitates the transmission of value using cryptocurrencies are not money transmitters and are not subject to the relevant regulations.
So, how did we get here? Eight months after the election of a president who describes himself as a Bitcoin and cryptocurrency advocate, after the Department of Justice themselves have explicitly stated that they are not going to engage in regulation by prosecution, or prosecute mixing services, how was Roman Storm found guilty?
There is nothing to describe this situation except pure, unbridled insanity. Incoherence. Hypocrisy and contradiction. There is a lesson here, though, one that I think it’s time more people in this space learn.
The government’s word is worthless. It means nothing. "

but they do have prisons and most people are too clueless to understand that the Bill of Rights is a limit on government, not We the People
