We are not expats. We are in exile

&gt; And recently many Americans have exiled during the 2017-25 crackdown on crypto.<p>Are there any estimates on how many valiant crypto freethinkers have left the USA for free market paradises?

The irony is almost painful: using the freedoms guaranteed by democratic systems to claim they&#x27;re being oppressed by those very systems. If this is the best example of &quot;persecution&quot; they can come up with, perhaps it&#x27;s time to acknowledge that crypto-libertarian talking points about government oppression are running pretty thin.<p>What words do we have left for people actually fleeing torture and death?<p>A country (Spain) with robust private property rights, free enterprise, and EU membership, is somehow dubbed a &quot;Marxist dystopia&quot; - just throwing ideological buzzwords at social democracy.<p>The fundamental dishonesty here is striking: the author is able to publicly criticize their government, freely move their assets, maintain international business interests, and come and go as they please. What an &quot;exile&quot;!
