"Privacy is not a bunker. It’s not cutting every wire, ghosting every friend, and hoping the grid forgets you exist. That’s fantasy. Romanticized exile for people who don’t understand surveillance capitalism. The truth is simpler and harder." ~ GHOST
What if privacy isn’t about isolation—but about trust? Today we dig into a short but powerful perspective by _Ghost_ that flips the script on the often imagined but false idea of a "romanticized exile." Where sovereignty is somehow manifest by living isolated from society, trusting nothing and no one. Instead we explore why building small, local, high-trust networks—digital or physical—isn’t just practical, it’s essential. And how a handful of dedicated people can change the world, one shared tool at a time.
