The world quickly needs to understand that physical goods being exchanged physically in person are the best shot we have at anonymous transactions.
It will be a multi polar world of different currencies like bullets and ramen, but that is the only way to ensure the middleman doesn't do something you didn't expect or accept.
It is not, simply due to convenience. People sympathetic to the cause can bother to click few clicks on their computer to support them, but to go all the way with physical goods? Only a tiny percentage would do that.
How the hell is True North even on here??! They are an Alex Jones-level conservative crisis actor resource that doesn't have the best track record of being accurate. Is there a better link out there? Flagging this post in the meantime...
The video linked in their Twitter feed is merely a Canadian gov't Press Conference. The link here on HN links to the Twitter feed.
Are you supposing that this outlet that "doesn't have the best track record of being accurate" is actually spoofing or modify the press conference footage (or should be considered likely to do so)?
Canada just made at least 20% of it's population into "terrorists". Terrorists with bouncy castles. Guys this is it. I'm sick of it and a hell of a lot of us are too. We are not going to allow the whole world to become a totalitarian state to continue enriching a few hundred men. Everyone I know who read the book 1984 is now in complete agreement with it. You all lost the plot. You'd kill 20% of the population over a disease that maybe kills 2 percent of us?

I also have doubts about the strength of the US "physical" currency because of inflation.
It may become a multipolar world, but that's mostly because of the rise of China, India and Brazil as the US declined.

Earnest question.
Crypto is obviously used by terrorists, but crowdfunding sites are fairly heavy handed with terrorist and terrorist-adjacent campaigns
