And we should be on alert. We were lucky to escape, evade all this. I feel like, hmm, with all my graffitis, books copying and distribution, how come I was never caught? Ok, I thought I was really careful. But now I know I was not. Just pure luck and hubris. Like when cops, during a meeting, approached me and my friend, going to grab us, I just told them: "don't interfere, do you see, we are talking?" - and they left. Ok, we were, may of us, lucky. But not all.
One thing I cannot but reiterate: survivor's bias should not blind us to the fact that we all have been really lucky. There is a lot we should be grateful for.
