We won't be able to avoid it, IMHO. Many technologies are coming forward, individually transcending paradigms, and concatenating into whole new barriers to coercion, censorship, and corruption. The apparent hopeless situation that people find themselves in, helpless to effect just government, get factual information, or communicate to the world, is poised on a precipice of change, with OS surveillance and publicly available storage on decentralized DLTs making corruption and thuggery vastly harder to get away with, for example.

Darkest before the dawn, the night yet yields to the day.

Thanks!
