**Sun 21 May 2023 UPDATE:**

Previously they made protesting illegal

Now they want to make strikes illegal too.

The situation is rapidly evolving. I think the government is inspired and incentivized by the existing successes in pushing controversial legislation.

With so many new bills - it is easy to forget about Online Safety Bill

Freedom of speech

Freedom of thought

Freedom of expression

Not planning to die, I have a number of reasons to stay alive.

_(that raises a question to what extent I should justify my approach / strategy / attitude)_

Chances are I will accomplish more in life by staying alive.

That’s why the **“it was worth it”** policy applies.

[Self-immolations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_self-immolations) hardly get any press:

Free speech (and more thought crimes)

**At this point, is breaking the law the new OK?**

I think I would like to simplify and go to jail directly, saving myself the hassle of proving beyond a reasonable doubt.

### "quantum-shapeshifting morphogenetic evidence"

Now it exists…

_(if I can describe it, it means possible)_

**UPDATE:**

Another criminal charge to the mix:

I’ve seen this technique somewhere in PoC || GTFO

Would be fun to hack the system.

**BUT**

“bend not break”

Not blowing up / burning down the parliament (yet)

Not dying (yet)

Not making jokes about the coronation that happens tomorrow (yet)

At some point in the future, I may or may not, neither confirm nor deny make a retroactive joke.

**Sun 21 May 2023 UPDATE:**

Previously I made some historical references:

Ultimately it was a sensationalist click-bait title.

Ultimately I realized I do not want to be associated with certain historical figures.
