Then one day, when everyone is pissed past any limit, some event happens that acts as a catalyst and people flood the streets and start taking things into their own hands. And that kinda sucks tho.
The Secret Service, FBI, and CIA are actively busting every attempt at oppositional organizing. Telegram, Discord, and so on are all open books for intelligence organizations, they don’t need to get a court order and the Patriot Act gives them free reign. AI increases their ability to sift through all of that information.
Do they read everything? Probably not… but they read enough to consistently stop every attempt so far, and to run counter intel on any movement of size.
In other words, you can’t organize online discretely for long. Anything successful must be small, and have impeccable counter-intel. It’s not 1776 any longer.
Balkanization is our only hope, in my opinion; our debt-based economy will collapse in on itself at some point. This will be a world-wide event and nobody will be happy with the result, I think.
