"anarcho-tyranny"

Your obfuscation carries no argumentative weight, as the uncertainty your obfuscation attempts to introduce might as well be used in the reverse: maybe the guy who made the original threat (that was not prosecuted) had a criminal record involving violent crimes whereas Lars' text obviously should be taken in the political, non-violent, activist context that is his modus operandi.

Sure. If you accept that we give up on equality before the law, one might be prosecutable and the other not.

Some of us prefer not to give up on that though.

Corruption is defined as "the abuse of entrusted power for private (usually financial) gain". Lars' case falls under the category of conscientious objection, as he's ideologically motivated. Pretty disgusting to frame that as corruption.

That same prime minister supports the warrant-less use of medical records in police work and the ban of encryption through chat control. She wants to prevent the Danish population from having privacy, but demands it herself. Sorry, but that's not the Western way.

Lars is good at exposing the hypocrisy of the Danish government. In a former case he, sent the exact same threatening text to a prosecutor as that prosecutor had received a police report from a third party about, and that the prosecutor refused to pursue. Lars got jail time for that. Rules for thee but not for me.

Lars was a corrupt cop? Are you just using "corrupt" to mean "someone I don't like"?

See-through blockchain's biggest problem might be that their coins are not fungible, as their history affect their current value. A protocol solution to this problem is to make their history opaque.

Bitcoin's conception was immaculate and new blockchain projects can't hope to match that, yet alone beat it. But Bitcoin can be challenged on technical aspect. We identify four properties that Bitcoin is lacking:

- throughput scalability (is being fixed) - programmability (could be fixed) - privacy (could be fixed) - post-quantum security (can't be fixed)
