Hi! It's possible to set up filters to label messages with different-colored labels.

If you prefer, you could also separate the addresses so that messages incoming to a certain address arrives in a separate custom folder, rather than the inbox.

See our support articles on filters/folders/labels for more detailed information.

Choosing the VPN That's Right for You
https://ssd.eff.org/module/choosing-vpn-thats-right-you


Mullvad is a VPN that outwardly seems genuine in its commitment to protecting its users, but isn't a VPN I recommend if you're in a situation where your online privacy is a critical consideration due to its Swedish jurisdiction and its cagey attitude surrounding questions about a transparency report and warrant canary.

Wouldn't suprise me if it was state actors...


Just to note...proton accept bitcoin payment and an account can be set up anonymously. Their vpn has some interesting elements like, for example,  netshield and secure core. Plus they are Swiss so strong privacy laws. Their vpn is fast. No logs, etc, etc...

Pro/Con Crypto-to-Crypto “No KYC” Swap Websites

Get your anonymous Nostr Lightning for cheaper than a BTC layer 1 channel here!

These are all sites for Monero->BTC Lightning, and others. These are NOT real atomic swaps, that will be a different post. Atomic swaps usually cost more and can’t be in a web browser.

Fixedfloat.com
0.5% fee
Pro: Reliable site has been around awhile. Large variety of selection and good prices. Support team is quick to respond.
Con: They use a Cloudflare which can be avoided if you go through Trocador. The Google analytics can be blocked with uBlock Origin. Careful on the chats, they use third parties as well. They block Tor and USA IPs. Even a USA clock is banned. I’m in international waters and encourage honesty, but any human can observe with publicly available information, that this means some people may hypothetically have to change the timezone on their local PC.

Exch.cx
0.5% fee
Tor Onion:
hszyoqwrcp7cxlxnqmovp6vjvmnwj33g4wviuxqzq47emieaxjaperyd.onion
Pro: I like this site a lot. No Cloudflare or Big Tech. Low fees and fairly good selection. Well advertised on BitcoinTalk, so they got a reputation to protect. Tor onion.
Con: They get DDoS’ed a lot, but check back in a few hours if down. Remember, you pay the 0.5% fee PLUS the cost of sending it on the blockchain itself. With Monero or Lightning that’s near free, but for Bitcoin layer 1, be careful not to do too low fees (the lowest setting) or you’ll get stuck a full day or more. (Btw if you get stuck, do a child-pays-parent transaction). Also I’ve had issues reaching their support team.

Coinswap.click
Under 1% fee (they don’t say)
Pro: No Big Tech. No Cloudflare. No Google. You can uBlock the third party bootstrap CDN without issues. Fees are decent on XMR->BTC Lightning. This is not as low as Fixedfloat or CoinEx, but it’s barely more expensive.
Con: This is a good site, I like it! I wish they were more upfront about the fees, instead of making me calculate it. But they were not bad.

ChangeNow.io
Fees vary based on quantity.
Pro: Large variety of cryptos. Well established reputation.
Con: ChangeNow varies their fees based on how much quantity you’re doing. Obviously the more you do, the lower the fee. If you’re thinking of using them, check Trocador to compare it. The variations are fairly small though. ChangeNow also uses Cloudflare and Google.

StealthEx.io
Pro: Decent variety. It’s “another alternative”
Con: Unclear pricing.  Cloudflare, AWS, Google. These idiots use all big tech with the word “Stealth”. You can uBlock Origin block the Amazon CDN, and it still works, but you can’t load the post-transfer progress status page. Please, try it with a penny first. I’m not responsible.

TradeOgre.com
Pro: This is like a real exchange with visual GUI of liquidity and not a swap site, even though it is crypto-to-crypto only with no KYC. They got a decent selection and some privacy coins such as Oxen.
Con: They use Cloudflare, and it will block Tor. Not a cheap Bitcoin withdrawal fee, I paid like double the middle rate of Electron wallet.

WizardSwap.io
2.5%
Pro: No Big tech. They got a Tor onion too.
Con: High fees.

Boltz.exchange
Pro: Eh… more variety?
Con: High fees, again with Cloudflare and big tech.

SimpleSwap.io
Pro: Huge selection, they got like as much selection as some KYC exchanges.
Con: They don’t tell you the fees, you have to calculate it yourself and they’re horrible. I got quoted like 7% on a Monero cross. These guys should be shot at sunrise. Plus they got mad big tech.

Trocador.app
Free fees, but it’s just a front-end
Pro: Acts as a no-fee No-JavaScript crypto-to-crypto swap front end for different exchanges, so you get the best rate and change counterparty risk to Trocador. They use the word atomic swap, but in a browser this doesn’t eliminate counterparty risk, it just changes it from the exchange to Trocador. Some people will criticize me that it’s open souce, but you can’t audit their cloud website. If it’s done through an open source wallet WITH atomic swaps, THEN it’s eliminating the counterparty risk. Trocador doesn’t add fees so this is a great site.
Con: It’s supposedly “many exchanges” but you usually get FixedFloat. But since FixedFloat uses CloudFlare and Google, it’s good to not go direct for privacy and to prevent FixedFloat from being able to bounce with your funds. Also Trocador could be gathering info maliciously, I have no way of knowing.

Intercambio.app
I’ve never used it, no opinion. I just saw random people post it

Summary of the “No Cloudflare” & “No Big Tech”:
Trocador.app (front end)
Exch.cx
Wizard Swap
Coinswap.click

Summary of the cheapest ones:
Trocador.app (front end)
TradeOgre
FixedFloat
Exch.cx
Coinswap.click (barely cheap)
ChangeNow if you do volume

Summary of both not private and not cheap, these suck:
StealthEx
SimpleSwap
Boltz

In another article, we’d discuss “real” atomic swaps.
Real atomic swaps are always downloaded software, it can’t be a wallet.
Some of these are brand new, still in development, and I can’t vouch for.

Particl.io

Reasons Why Linux Mint is Better Than Ubuntu for Linux Beginners

UBUNTU - Issues About Commercialization Versus Open Source
One of the main criticisms of Ubuntu is its apparent commercialization. Canonical appears to move a little bit further away from the open-source model with each operating system update. The company works on its own most of the time instead of working with the open-source community. This prevents receiving inputs from hundreds of volunteer developers.

There was also an issue about affiliation with other companies such as the technology and online retail company Amazon. Canonical once tried to earn profit from affiliate marketing through the placement of affiliate links and preferential advertisements across the user interface. The company has since removed these links and ads in the newer Ubuntu releases.

One of my favorite things about bitcoiners is how obsessive they are.

Nearly ever bitcoiner I know has done an unbelievable amount of research on something outside bitcoin.

They bring that knowledge and experience to the network. We all benefit from sharing that information.


Bitcoin ETFs amplify market risks, fostering speculative bubbles, regulatory uncertainties, and potential market manipulation, exposing investors to significant dangers.


Opt out of global data surveillance programs...
make mass surveillance of entire populations uneconomical! We all have a right to privacy, which you can exercise today by encrypting your communications and ending your reliance on proprietary services.

Bitcoin self-custody ensures control and security, while BTC ETFs introduce counterparty risk and compromise the decentralized ethos of Bitcoin.

Running your own node is essential to use Bitcoin in a private manner. Every interaction with the Bitcoin network is facilitated by a node. If you are not in control of this node, whatever you are doing is seen by the node you are interacting with. This means whoever is in control of the node is able to see what you are doing. The bitcoiner node guide is a great resource to get you started.

                BEST PRACTICES

As with everything in Bitcoin, taking control of your privacy is a gradual, step-by-step process. Learning about and implementing these best practices takes patience and responsibility, so do not be discouraged if it seems overwhelming at first. Every step, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction.

Take Action
The following are actionable steps you can take to increase your privacy:

Self-custody your coins
Do not reuse addresses
Minimize exposure to KYC (Know Your Customer)
Minimize exposure to third parties
Run your own node
Use the Lightning Network for small transactions
Do not use public block explorers
CoinJoin early and often

I've been using and writing open source since the 90s so I know about the slow but relentless progress that open source and interoperable protocols enable. So I recognized the inevitability within an hour of joining nostr.

Creating a key and profile on one client, but then having that profile accessible on different apps that have different feature sets and target audiences is such a breath of fresh air. Then I wondered how many people, app developers and businesses have had their hands tied or been kicked out of the walled gardens that are the centralized social networks and appstores. They all have incentives to join #nostr  and build where they can't be rugged on a whim.

The problem with MEV as i see it...in my simplistic understanding..."Miner Extractable Value" (MEV) means miners can earn extra money by changing how transactions go into blocks. This can be risky because it might harm the fairness of the system, making some people lose money or transactions not work as expected.
Those who understand this better than me, is this correct? If not explain...

Note: Always do your own research. Don't blindly follow my suggestions. When it comes to privacy and security you have to be on the ball. And when it comes to apps/software Be very, very picky. Some apps are, in my opinion, far superior to others. And take care using apps like BleachBit. I personally use it and run it before I shut my computers down. But you have to set it up correctly else it will scrub files you want/need to keep ✌

Nostr surpasses echo chambers, offering diverse perspectives and superior innovation compared to Twitter and other platforms, fostering inclusive, dynamic interactions.


The synergy between Nostr's tech and Bitcoin epitomizes Freedom Tech, reshaping social dynamics. This union empowers individuals, shaping their consciousness towards autonomy and inclusivity. Scientifically advancing financial landscapes, it cultivates a positive societal shift, elevating collective awareness towards decentralized systems, fostering freedom, and reshaping consciousness.


Bitcoin's revolution extends beyond finance, transforming consciousness. It empowers individuals with financial sovereignty, fostering trust in decentralized systems. This shift challenges societal norms, encouraging a reevaluation of centralized authority. The ethos of transparency and autonomy embedded in Bitcoin permeates societal consciousness, fostering a paradigm where individuals embrace decentralized values.


Bitcoin cultivates a consciousness shift for the better by promoting financial empowerment, decentralization, and self-sovereignty. It instills trust in individuals, fostering a mindset of autonomy and transparency. This paradigm encourages a redefined relationship with money, aligning values with a decentralized, inclusive, and equitable financial landscape.


Bitcoin's future shines brightly with increasing adoption. Its decentralized nature fosters financial inclusivity, providing a hedge against inflation. Growing acceptance by businesses enhances its utility. As a store of value, Bitcoin appeals to investors. Its technology continually evolves, promising innovations that can reshape the financial landscape, ensuring a promising future.


UNSTOPPABLE!!
Bitcoin's unstoppable nature stems from its decentralized architecture. The network operates on a distributed ledger, ensuring transactions are verified by a vast array of independent nodes globally. Attempting to shut down Bitcoin requires overpowering this network, an impractical feat due to its sheer size and resilience. The open-source code further fortifies Bitcoin, allowing constant adaptation and improvement. Cryptographic mechanisms secure the network against tampering, making it highly resistant to attacks. Additionally, Bitcoin's borderless nature challenges regulatory control, as it transcends jurisdictional boundaries. This combined strength renders attempts to shut down Bitcoin an arduous task, if not an impossible one.


Just for the hell of it...

In my view, there are different tiers of crystal ball holders out there, and the lowest tier is the technical analyst type. These are the dime-a-dozen people you see on Twitter spouting off about momentum, price levels, cup and handles, etc. These people were calling for 10K bitcoin when it bottomed at 16k. I’m not saying that TA is all nonsense; fundamentally, it is a system for predicting human action through probability. It’s a consideration at best. It should never be used in a vacuum to determine your allocations. If you use it in conjunction with fundamentals, it can be much more helpful. The point I am driving at here is there are GRAVEYARDS of TA analysts out there who told you to buy at 68K and not to buy at 16K. They are throwing probabilistic darts. Don’t put your financial future on someone’s educated guess.

Running your own node is essential to use Bitcoin in a private manner. Every interaction with the Bitcoin network is facilitated by a node. If you are not in control of this node, whatever you are doing is seen by the node you are interacting with. This means whoever is in control of the node is able to see what you are doing. The bitcoiner node guide is a great resource to get you started.

The technocrat is the natural friend of the dictator—computers and dictatorship; but the revolutionary lives in the gap which separates technical progress from social totality, and inscribed there his dream of permanent revolution. This dream, therefore, is itself action, reality, and an effective menace to all established order; it renders possible what it dreams about.

This needs to be read as part of the daily reading diet on Nostr to keep reminding all..constantly..until it sinks in and Ordinals are no more. Sooner they are gone the better. Every time i read about them it evokes thoughts of those who are bankless, etc., and have began using Bitcoin. Like those in Africa and south America, only to be faced with crippling fees. Makes life even more difficult.

Altcoin Redux
------------

In a way, the ordinals scam is an excellent sign. Altcoins have long been associated with Bitcoin through the moniker of "crypto" and have used Bitcoin's good name to scam people through pump and dumps.

But as we've seen, this narrative is no longer what it used to be. There are enough people that have recognized the pump and dump nature of altcoins as well as Bitcoin's continued rise that there's a distinction made in the peoples' minds between Bitcoin and altcoins. One is sound money, the other is fiat 2.0. The scam of altcoins, in other words, is starting to fade and the returns aren't like they used to be.

That's why ordinals and BRC-20 are becoming more popular. There's little chance of escaping the "shitcoin" moniker by releasing a token on Ethereum or Solana now. The gulf between Bitcoin and altcoins is too wide and crossing that chasm, to scam newbies has become that much harder. But by releasing a token on Bitcoin, now there's a lot more room for confusion. They can claim to be supporting Bitcoin through fees while running the same scam. It's changing names and disguises so you don't get caught. This is the snake oil salesman leaving one town to get a bunch of suckers in the next town.

But this is where we need to be even more diligent. The people that are scamming are picking up the verbiage of the people that know what they're talking about. They're going to scam people by looking and sounding like the real thing. They can talk about sound money, self-sovereignty and property rights and even sound pretty convincing doing it. Except, of course, that token they want you to buy.

The time to separate the Bitcoiners from the Spamcoiners is now. They are running pump and dumps, just doing it with a new rationale like a new disguise and name. And they'll fool a bunch of people. Indeed, the people they seem to attract are the very people that pumped altcoins in the past. Altcoin-land is a scorched earth they've left behind and they want to run the same policies on "top of" Bitcoin.

Don't let them take over. Reject these charlatans and shame them for their chicanery. And if you're someone that's throwing up their hands and saying there's nothing to be done, you're wrong. You can do something by calling these things out for what they are. They're scams and the faster they fail, the better it will be for Bitcoin. And as we saw with altcoins in the past, ignoring them doesn't make them go away. Calling them out and relentlessly exposing their grift is what's needed.

There has never been a government that didn’t sooner or later try to reduce the freedom of its subjects and gain more control over them, and there probably will never be one. Therefore, instead of trying to convince our current government not to try, we’ll develop the technology that will make it impossible for the government to succeed.
— Wei Dai, 1995


I don't believe we shall ever have good money again before we take it out of the hands of government. We can't take it violently. All we can do is by some sly, roundabout way introduce something they can't stop.
— Friedrich Hayek, 1984


The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government.
Edward Abbey


Freedom is the power to choose our own chains
Jean-Jacques Rousseau


Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the people’s anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble – yes, gamble – with a whole part of their life and their so called 'vital interests.
Albert Camus


Every man is two men; one is awake in the darkness, the other asleep in the light.
Khalil Gibran


Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
Jean-Paul Sartre


I have never known so much naive conviction allied to greater intellectual poverty.
Claude Levi-Strauss


Courage consists, however, in agreeing to flee rather than live tranquilly and hypocritically in false refuges. Values, morals, homelands, religions, and these private certitudes that our vanity and our complacency bestow generously on us, have many deceptive sojourns as the world arranges for those who think they are standing straight and at ease, among stable things

2023 CypherPunk New Years Wrap-up:

17 Huge, Suppressed, or Wicked Stories of the Year

(fast, light, and fun read with just 2-3 sentences on each)

17. Tutanota suddenly stopped supporting Tor Browser, leading to potential fingerprinting, as Canadian police allege it’s a honeypot in court.  Tutanota denies this claims.

16. Microsoft’s Email Software was hacked by the Chinese, becoming my favorite talking point to promote self-hosted open source email

15. Reddit failed to ban front-ends.  After a long blackout battle in which many third party apps broke, I still use farside link/teddit on a regular basis

14. Signal is beta testing usernames, to hide your phone number. Although right now though you still need a phone number to use it.

13. Tor adds Proof of Work to Onions to reduce DDoS.  And Tor expands their browser’s width, making it more useable for a daily driver as less websites break

12. Canada begins forcing podcasts to register with the government to stop "misinformation", which is really just criticism of the government

11. United Kingdom says they would arrest the Rumble creators if they don’t demonetize Russell Brand, despite him not being convicted of any crimes.  Separately, Rumble blocks Brazilian IPs instead of giving in to the Brazil government’s censorship requests

10. Thankfully the European Union’s “chat control” FAILED to pass, this WOULD have essentially banned end-to-end encryption. However they DID pass the “Digital Services” act which forces big tech to stop using targeted advertising and holds them accountable for content on the platform.  This has a chilling censorship effect, since if you post something on a platform, the platform is responsible

9. Apple bans Glenn Beck from their podcast store, and I’m only listing this story to highlight the need for people to switch to AntennaPod and RSS feeds.

8. The Jan 6 footage was revealed, to surprisingly show that security guards had given a peaceful welcoming guided tour to the supposed insurrection riot leader.

7. Right before publishing an interview with the Jan 6th Ex-Capitol Police Chief stating that a large part of the crowd was government informants, Tucker Carlson was abruptly canceled from Fox News.  He then moved over to Twitter and his audience grew even larger, representing a big change in the dynamics of power for media.

6. Amethyst, 0xchat, and others launch gift wrapped DMs on Nostr, giving metadata privacy to those that use it.  A new version of gift wrap DMs (v3) has been coded and will be coming in the future to all clients, including gossip, but it has to be externally audited first.

5. Nostr’s Gossip client plans to add Tor Onion Node support, as Gossip’s developer told Simplified Privacy in first-hand conversation.  This would be a game changer for censorship because it would eliminate nodes reliance on government DNS

4. The United Kingdom is among the countries with the most surveillance cameras per person.  Protestors took to the streets to smash these cameras to reject a climate bill that would use the cameras to get the license plates of car models that pollute more to fine the owners.

3. Argentina elects Libertarian-leaning Javier Milei to abolish the central bank and peg to the USD.  Supporters point out that anti-fiat sentiment is spreading, while critics point out that he would strengthen the US dollar empire.

2. Nigerians protest in the street to reject their CBDC.  The corrupt government tyranny known as eNaria, has failed in Nigeria

1. Colorado state court removes Donald Trump from the ballot, despite him not being convicted of a crime.  This will now go to the Supreme Court and will be a big decision, because once one state can remove him, they all can.  Will Democrats allow democracy?

have never used that in my writing. Furthermore i....🤣🤣🤣


Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
Carl Jung


Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Carl Jung


Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness's of other people. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
Carl Jung


It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That's why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling.
Aldous Huxley


Never have so many been manipulated so much by so few.
Aldous Huxley


Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left.
Aldous Huxley


The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free.
Aldous Huxley


The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence.
Aldous Huxley


There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it.
Aldous Huxley


'Truth' is to be understood as a system of ordered procedures for the production, regulation, distribution, circulation and operation of statements. 'Truth' is linked in a circular relation with systems of power which produce and sustain it, and to effects of power which it induces and which extend it. A 'regime' of truth.
Michel Foucault


Schools serve the same social functions as prisons and mental institutions- to define, classify, control, and regulate people.
Michel Foucault

Microsoft’s agenda is very clear, they want control and surveillance over the flow of information on the internet.

Rather than allow websites to host the content themselves, Microsoft will subvert websites’ authority and post it on MSM .com.  Then promote their bullshit proxy copy on their ad-revenue site via their Bing search.  For example you search “Coindesk Bitcoin ETF” and it gives you “Coindesk via MSM”.

This has quite a few effects:
1) Microsoft leaches ad revenue
2) It creates dependency and submission from the websites that they can’t cut off the traffic from Bing, because the other search engines such as Google and Brave are now ranking the MSM version, and not the original.
3) Microsoft sees all data, not just that you searched then went to the site, but what you clicked or did after.
4) Microsoft controls the content, by picking what to proxy and then promote as trending news.  This is a form of thought control.

Some will say this thought control is benign, but Microsoft’s left leaning censorship agenda is very clear with a partnership with NewsGuard.  As ZeroHedge and the Daily Wire report, NewsGuard uses Microsoft’s Edge browser to display trust rankings like a nutrition label, and no surprise, it gives horrible ratings to conservative websites and flawless ranking to left leaning ones.  One example of the danger of this type of censorship is that NewsGuard openly has financial ties to Pfizer partners and then downranks websites critical of the vaccine, calling them fake news.

Microsoft will insert their left-leaning propaganda into the Windows start menu, innocently pretending it’s just trending news.  Brainwashed Democrats don’t even realize that it’s normalizing an authoritarian society through unquestioned acceptance of government authority.  In fact, Democrats are so shielded from criticism, that when they later read proven, factual, and academic criticism of the government for the first time, their knee-jerk reaction is that it’s “crazy conspiracy theory” because they’ve been so conditioned to never question or criticize top-down control.  This assumption is reinforced literally every time they open a program on Windows.

Sadly many other search engines just get results from Bing, and then mislead people into thinking they are getting privacy.  For example people tolerate Duckduckgo and Qwant getting the bulk of their results from Bing, to try to avoid the data collection of going to Bing directly.

What they don’t realize is that Qwant feeds user data into Microsoft’s ads.  And even more chilling is Duckduckgo being physically hosted on Microsoft’s servers and serving them all the same MSM links with kick-back surveillance on them.  Duckduck is masquerading as a privacy alternative, when they insert 3rd party JavaScript such as “improving.duckduckgo.com” onto the links themselves.  This allows Duckduckgo to learn how long you stayed on even the non-MSM articles, or what your reaction to it is.  They will likely claim this is supposedly to improve the search engine, but considering Duckduckgo is the default on Tor browser, training AI on my choices is hardly the choice for anonymous browsing.

What can you do about it?  Here’s our solutions:

1) Use a variety of search engines such as:
a) MetaGer.org
b) Mojeek.com
c) Farside.link/SearXNG
d) Simplified Privacy even hosts a SearXNG instance for you
e) Brave Search, although it’s hosted on Amazon AWS.  Although Brave does use Amazon, they have LESS propaganda.

2) Try and find the original links and avoid MSM.  For example MetaGer will serve you the originals.  You can also go to the company’s site and see the trending links.

3) If you’re going to use Duckduckgo for variety, then use it for mundane research topics or images, but avoid news.  It’s news topics that get MSM propaganda links more often.

4) Use Linux and not Windows, it’s not as hard as people make it out to be.  You don’t need to learn the command line.  You can learn in under 2 weeks.  Most apps are in a browser now so there’s not the same software compatibility issues there were 10 years ago.  I believe in you.  Now you have to believe in you.


Opt out of global data surveillance programs like PRISM, XKeyscore and Tempora.

Help make mass surveillance of entire populations uneconomical! We all have a right to privacy, which you can exercise today by encrypting your communications and ending your reliance on proprietary services.

The record of anarchist ideas, and even more, of the inspiring struggles of people who have sought to liberate themselves from oppression and domination, must be treasured and preserved, not as means of freezing thought and conception in some new mold but as basis for understanding of the social reality and committed work to change it. There is no reason to suppose that history is at an end, that the current structures of authority and domination are graven in stone. It would also be great error to underestimate the power of social forces that will fight to maintain power and privilege.
Noam Chomsky
