 Ethereum Tyranny Agenda:

Ethereum Name Service is now integrated with Google search.  You can search an .eth name and get the balance.

It's sad to see the ETH community cheer on the coming surveillance to rip away our freedoms.

The purpose of decentralized systems & cryptocurrency is to resist the banks and big tech, which should trigger an adversarial response.  These VCs that back ETH projects, often have a history of funding the centralized oppressive systems and rebellion simultaneously.

Here's the agenda:
1. Farcaster's Warpcast now requires tokens to enter each community.

2. Force people to use KYC exchanges to get these tokens the devs print

3. Farcaster doesn't pay the hubs to store the data, so not only can the devs leech all the money, but there's no incentive to resist a takedown if you make no money to keep content up.

Therefore,
4. The empire can track who is speaking on "censorship resistant" platforms and cancel them tech-wise or in-real-life.

5. And if the ETH devs resist, they risk having their coins delisted from KYC exchanges.  This forces compliance
