@VitalikButerin: True liberty means challenging power wherever it sits

Ser, I worry going this direction risks losing the plot. "The regime" are the people in power. "The state" is the organization with the guns. We must not let the language of liberty and resistance against the state be corrupted by a misperception that twists the terms "regime" and "state" into mere bywords for a Schmittian Enemy, using them to continue to beat down on a group long after it loses actual power. True liberty involves securing the balance of power ( https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025/12… ), and this means challenging the abuses from the highest seats of authority, whoever they currently are. It is a quest that is inherently incompatible with being permanently supportive of one Team, or permanently opposed to another Team. But it is a quest that is necessary, to preserve the balance that keeps the world as a whole, and the experience of each precious individual person inhabiting it, in a state of freedom and security.
