Yes, dump smartphones. I've never had one, and I've been speaking against them from the beginning, both offline and online. And you're right that hurting opponents financially is a great strategy. However, demonstrations, protests, rallies, convoys, and other public actions are also very important. We can't just rely on a single method to resist tyranny and starve the beast.

That's not what I was talking about with "methods".
But why is it wrong to avoid surveillance? I don't get your position.
That's not true. There are many reasons somebody would protect themselves from being monitored, losing their privacy, and having their data stolen.
Do you close the stall door when you use a public toilet? Are you "scared of being watched"?
Will you post the password to your private email? Are you "scared of being watched"?
Do you protect the PIN for your bank card when you punch it in? Are you "scared of being watched"?
You strawman a multitude of reasons to protect privacy down to fear to suit your argument, but it's not reality.
