 Structure of our society is corrupt

Fiat Money - government typing numbers, which banks get first

CIA - puppet master for murdering dictators

Social media - Censorship Cult

Domain names - government database opinion

SMS - insecure expensive survelliance 

~~~~

But it doesn't have to be this way:

All these can be replaced:
Nostr, Bastyon, PGP-contracts, Monero, Bitcoin, Arweave websites, Session, SimpleX

This is Aladdin,
A whole new world!!! For you and meeee 
 Yes they can, but when something gains enough traction to come on the radar, the one world government psychos will ban it, which means using it incites physical violence.
I don't think there is a peaceful way out unless most people wake up and stop participating 
 well aren't you just a lovely optimist today.  if we stay positive, we can convert more people to our side 
 I am possitive because there is a way out.  I've been studying the structure of the world for well over 10 years. 
The way out is an awakening with critical mass because the psychopaths rely on normal people to kill each other. They are a very tiny minority. And once you see through the system, you can't ever go back 
 I think that social media's shittiness, as Jack said, «is much more about freedom of will than freedom of speech»: many people (thought not all!) never actually ever get censored — yet ·everybody· will be manipulated with algorithms to believe something they didn't believe in, hate something they didn't hate, and SPEND SPEND SPEND more time in the app, watch more ads, spend more money ordering something purely imposed, consume-consume-consume. IMHO.
