 There seems to be a zeitgeist of understanding that we have firmly entered the, “then they fight you” phase.

We have one shot to save the internet as a free and open platform for all people everywhere; or to collapse into it become the most powerful propaganda and brainwashing tool ever created. 

Now is the time to prepare, because there will not be another shot later. 
 The best “weapons” are Bitcoin and Nostr 
 Fedcoins ain't going to help us.

Monero fixes that.

 What could wake the masses up and make them care? Unfortunately, most seem content in their media-controlled stupor. 
 Nothing. Every genocide in human history is precipitated by a slew of clear and present warnings that most ignore. The masses are doomed; the question is who is listening and willing to resist. 
 The worst part of Genocide, from a statutory definitional perspective, is it need not involve direct murder. Simply putting into place such circumstances to erase a group is sufficient. It can be quiet, insidious, and “lawful”. 
 Maybe it’s silly, but I like to think that increasing hashrate corresponds to an increasing collective consciousness. Maybe something along the lines of a new renaissance; an incremental process of civilizational rebirth or reorientation…or even some kind of altogether new orientation or new human chapter. Hashrate towards a new holiness. 
 On the bright side the people fighting Bitcoin are mainly boomers who continue to underestimate the gravity of what they are fighting.
