I think the underlying point is not about the actual Canadian truckers, but the fact that Canadian truckers got all their donations canceled by a central authority. You might think that the central authority was right because the truckers were all 'crazy conspiracy people', but the underlying point remain : if you're in a line of politics that can get you on the wrong side of a central authority that can stop you, might be better to go for solutions that are less dependent on central authorities.

Indeed. Towards what the GP comment was saying, maybe they need to ask how this road to hell was paved with good intentions? Especially for cryptocurrencies, Signal and the internet. The same technology used by Ukraine donators is also used by terrorists, criminals and extremists. Maybe ask why they use it? Or even in the case for Signal, the same users who want privacy and want to chat securely and send MobileCoin to each other, the same extremists are doing just that on Signal and financing their criminal activities with MobileCoin to each other; with that being completely untraceable. All these libertarian technologies can be used by anybody, including the 'crazy conspiracy people' which some of them once thought that mass-surveillance was happening to everyone vs those who said: 'If you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide'. Those 'crazy conspiracy people' they speak of built those tools and it's a double-edged sword since anyone can use them.
