I support the EFF. I really appreciate their efforts. But I think at some point I just got too tired of perpetually being in a state of having just barely fended off the latest attack, and getting ready for the next wave. Something shifted in my mind, and I refuse to be worried about it any more. At the border, I'm just going to do whatever I want, whatever I think is appropriate, and I'll just deal with the consequences. I just don't care. They're just hostile people between me and my destination and I won't spend my life in fear of being illegal. I'm resigned they'll do whatever they want, so I will too.

I do love the EFF, but I wish I could give enough so that they would be able to stop taking money from Google and other silicon valley companies. It would make them more independent. I suspect EFF would advocate more on issues such as internet platform monopolies if they were more independent.

Liberty isn't something you just earn. It is something you earn and actively defend.
