The biggest mental problem I am trying to solve is this. If social unrest and overt actions against tyranny play precisely into the hand of governments who want to use unrest as justification for crackdowns, and the implementation of full spectrum surveillance, what options exist other than building local networks for trading the essentials of life and ensuring defensible physical space/shelter?
I think the boat has already sailed when it comes to waking up enough people to the realities of the control grid that is springing up around us before it is too late. This is going to happen whether we like it or not. Trillions in capital are being dedicated to it. Nothing stops this train.
Is there still an opportunity to strike at the heart of it? Or must we just be prepared to live unbanked, react the best we can to threats, and maintain a low profile? #asknostr
