See the wall is starting to get built. They gave us all this freedom on the internet so that we would build it out - but at the end of the day, it is a surveillance and control network, and as soon as it's complete, they're going to lock the door.
They have one thing which we must not underestimate: They can just start indiscriminately killing, raiding, and jailing people and at that point most people are not going to clam up and obey.
But we have one thing which we must also not underestimate: EVERYBODY HATES THEM. They have zero legitimacy and they're walking the razor's edge of a French Revolution scenario.
What we need to do right now is get everyone to start self-hosting shit. Dumb pointless shit that doesn't matter, e-commerce shit, email, everything. We need to make it so that locking down the internet is painful for as many people as possible, so that even by attempting it, they create a backlash bigger than the anger that came out of the pandemic.
Then we need solutions in place:
* Cryptocurrencies when they start locking bank accounts
* Alt DNS when they take away domains
* Wifi sharing so that it's unfeasible to "kick someone off the internet"
