You're comparing a decentralized system (me, sharing info) with a centralized one (money issued by a central bank).
I can always revert to printing out pamphlets if the internet is heavily censored.
We won't be able to revert back to cash once digital money is fully implemented. They are already getting rid of ATMs and closing branches in Australia because people "have adopted digital payments". They are like: "Trust me bro, it's just free market supply and demand and totally not a carefully planned and socially engineered process of digitalization and getting rid of cash."
Yes, I engage in conversations about it with my peers and I pay in cash as much as possible. If everybody did just that we wouldn't have a problem to begin with.
Besides, what's wrong with using digital media to disseminate such a message? It's not a performative contradiction, it's turning the tools they use to enslave us against them. That's the whole history of the internet in a nutshell. A sword can be used to slaughter innocents and terrorize but it also can be used for self defense and to bring justice - it's a tool. The person using it is the moral agent.
Not the gotcha you think it is.

It was not a gotrch-ya, but your answer tells me all I need to know about your motivation.
Good. I made my motivation perfectly clear - I don't want controlled centralized CBDC.

Did you yet hand out anything or go around informing people in some way outside of the nets?
Yes, I engage in conversations about it with my peers and I pay in cash as much as possible. If everybody did just that we wouldn't have a problem to begin with.
