I've seen posters for protests saying, "don't bring weapons." Well, guess what? The Nazis will. The police will. The Threepers, the Klan, the Proud Boys, the Patriot Fronters will. In my years of activism, the safest protests were the ones where we openly carried rifles. The more rifles there were, the fewer problems we had. During the George Floyd uprising, we had a (not visibly armed) march and the cops plowed their vehicles into the crowd and injured many. When we came back with rifles, the pigs didn't come near us. They ran away and cried on the radio about how scary the "scopes" on our rifles were.

For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. "He has to start being more proactive and to find a real solution to this situation, not stay in standby without interfering. It's a very irresponsible position from the owner of Telegram," she said. And indeed, volatility has been a hallmark of the market environment so far in 2022, with the S&P 500 still down more than 10% for the year-to-date after first sliding into a correction last month. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has held at a lofty level of more than 30. Oh no. There’s a certain degree of myth-making around what exactly went on, so take everything that follows lightly. Telegram was originally launched as a side project by the Durov brothers, with Nikolai handling the coding and Pavel as CEO, while both were at VK.
