Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, says that passengers on the Titanic actually didn’t want to leave the ship for almost two hours after it hit the iceberg.
Pavel Durov says we are in a similar situation: our ship has already hit the iceberg. We have already started to sink without even realizing it. He is talking about the ship of our personal freedoms.
He says that personal freedoms have been eroded almost everywhere in the world, with very few exceptions. He has witnessed firsthand the methods governments use to suppress our freedoms and take away our basic rights. He has seen all the tricks: the PR tricks, the legal tricks, the political tricks, the manipulations, and the official excuses.
The thing that bothers him most today is that some of the same tricks employed by authoritarian regimes in places like Russia, China, and Iran are now also being used in some Western countries.

Here are some key statements from Pavel Durov:
“Thousands of people are getting arrested every year in the United Kingdom for social media posts.”
“You say something politically incorrect online, you may end up being fined or spend some time in prison. In Germany, people get arrested and persecuted for insulting politicians online, thousands of people every year.”
“You call a politician a bigot or a thief online and you can serve up to 3 years in prison. So, now people are afraid to use their real identities. People stop using their real names when they make comments online.”
“The criminals will be fine. It will be the law-abiding citizens who will be put in danger.”
“Last year, a French tax official was caught stealing the financial data of people who held large amount of crypto assets… you have a catastrophic rise in the number of kidnappings in France. Just in the first 3 months of 2026, you have over 40 victims of kidnappings in France.”
“Another trick that has been used by authoritarians for decades. And now it is being increasingly exported from the East to the West. I’m talking about selective enforcement of laws.
The way it works is pretty straightforward. First, you need to introduce a large number of laws. You need to overburden a certain industry with excessive, mutually exclusive, contradictory regulation. As a result, you make compliance impossible. Now you can treat every entrepreneur, every CEO, every business owner in this country as a criminal.
But then the government carefully starts to choose who to persecute. If the business owner is loyal, if it complies with immoral, unlawful demands from the government, gives certain political favors, then the law enforcement system and the judicial system look the other way. But if the business owner decides to stand up for the constitutional rights of his or her fellow citizens, if they refuse to cave in to political demands from the authoritarian government, then the persecution comes in full.”
“We cannot afford to have this ship sunk. There is nowhere to escape. In the past, dissidents from authoritarian countries could flee to the West. But if the current trajectory continues, in a decade or two from now, they will have hard time trying to understand whether they have already left their repressive homeland or they’re just entering another open-air prison.”
“Those who are willing to give up their essential liberty for some temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Which would you choose: essential liberty or temporary safety?
@Jenny_1884 Look at the bright side. Two days less of brainwashing. I'm keeping my kid off to enjoy the weather, we don't get many days like this. Her school is actually on btw.
MARK MY WORDS:
There will be war in Europe. Everything is planned and moving towards that day.
Getting the UK on board with the other actors we call leaders is almost complete. Just a false flag, on the coast of UK, to blame on Russia, is missing.
The EU leadership gives billions to Ukraine while they cut social monies in their own country, put citizens in prison for calling out corruption and allow criminal immigrants to run free even after the SA‘ed a woman.
The war will be the justification for everything they did wrong and they will use it to explain away all their failures.
What do you expect from the actors?
They have no experience in leadership.

The same pattern of manipulative trope gaslighting that is designed to shut down debate and smear those who dare to question. Same pattern every single time.
@OwenShroyer1776 What a fantastic stroke of good luck for israel that some kid drove 300 miles across Utah, shoved a 110-year old gun down his pants, walked onto the roof of a building right in front of Charlie, took 1 perfect shot, then immediately texted his gay buddy the entire plan afterward
The UK government is not a representative body, it is a criminal enterprise.
It poisons its own citizens with experimental mRNA injections, bypassing informed consent and censoring dissenting voices.
It manufactures enemies abroad, promoting war with Russia while arming Ukraine and Israel, fueling mass slaughterin the name of foreign policy.
It taxes the population into poverty, only to funnel that money into corrupt deals, globalist programs, and private enrichment.
It encourages mass illegal immigration, eroding national identity, straining services, and ignoring the will of the people.
It is orchestrating the controlled demolition of Britain, dismantling our industries, sabotaging our values, and stripping away our freedoms.
It has signed on to the 2030 Agenda without any democratic mandate, outsourcing national sovereignty to unelected global institutions.
It serves transnational corporate and financial interests, not the British people.
This is not incompetence.
This is betrayal.
This is treason.
They are not leaders.
They are traitors, parasites, and agents of decay.
They are scum.
They are evil.
And they must be exposed, resisted, and held to account.
And it seems ALL governments are doing this across the globe in Lockstep.
This is the REAL WW3. The war on humanity.
We need a revolution, not more voting.
And that revolution starts in our minds.
