They grasped a small kernel of truth and encrusted a huge wad of nonsense around it. You already have to use credit for some transactions, effectively. If you try bringing 100k in cash to buy a car/house, there is a good chance it'll get seized by police. Corporations already do that tracking and they don't need credit card transactions for it - if you use a cell phone they know what store you went into. That can be combined with other metadata to know exactly what you're doing. Carrying cash does not fix this.

Monero fixes this. They are incredibly afraid of it, and they have every right to be.

To defend a liberty is to defend said liberty for your enemies. You cannot possibly be arguing its ok to restrict some peoples rights without the court ruling on it.
The courts literally were involved. Also, who was restricting rights? The clownvoy or the people in downtown ottawa? Hint it was the clownvoy.
Did the courts order that people would have their money disabled. If not thats denying someone their right to do as they wish with their private property. Also how can a court order somthibg like this dont u need to be charged with a crime first.
Why can't I fucking drive my car on a sidewalk! The government is denying my right to do as I wish with my private property! Why can't I make bombs at home! Fucking government!
We've only ever been allowed to do what we want with our stuff within reason, that is how society works.
And no you don't need to be charged with a crime fist, for example a warrant is done before charges are laid. Civil forfeiture in the US is another great example of it.
