I've been seeing more and more evident hit pieces on XMR on social media, starting with the article by Greydinamics on May 17th, but just look closely at the memes and comments coming up on social media, "Monero, invest in underground crime" and other stupid shit like that...

I strongly disagree with advertising or using xmr illegally. Of course you can use any of the following for terrorism, crime, drugs, etc: your car, the internet, your computer, a screwdriver, your phone, banks, cash and so on... But that doesn't mean that's the main use, and advertising any of the stuff just mentioned as "only used by" or "intended for" criminals is beyond stupid. This is what 1984 sytle regimes use to brainwash sheep and use its people as unknowing, unpaid agents that act on behalf of these institutions.

This is an invitation to anyone who uses Monero for freedom to fight against this (likely agency or institutional) campaign promoting XMR as a tax evasive, terrorist, drug inducing coin. They're playing us, don't fall for it, Monero can be and is used for buying legal items, living a moral life. It's just sovereign money, that's all.

Monero is so resilient. the ecosystem is very organic

But the elites are also smart. they are trying to be very sneaky, not activate the Streisand effect too much.

It's all classic brainwashing just like they do with all words and ideas, they attach negative connotations and mental images to certain words and terms, that way they can control how you think and make you associate Monero with villany, when it is they who are the ultimate merchants of pure evil, with their manipulation, child molestation, and total control.

Think about terms like "Racist", "Conspiracy theorist", and "terrorist". Yeah, you'll be in that list someday for daring to use Monero, under some other term.
