Ignorance is bliss. I was briefly huffing copium and dipped my toe into blackpilling, but then I realized that this crisis is an immense opportunity for people in America, and should hopefully slingshot around the world. Plus, think of how many people this whole shitshow has red-pilled. Millions and millions. With the explosion of alt-tech and the exodus from big tech and the unmistakable exposure of the corruption to the masses, Trump could end up being the most influential president America has ever had. The genie is out of the bottle. Do you think Gab is just going to die one day? It's reaching critical mass and building out its services(video-streaming, Gab Marketplace, many more), and there are others like Mastodon and other decentralized services which can't easily be taken offline. It'll start with alt-tech, but you'll see more widespread adoption of alt-currencies, alt-services and alt-utilities, alt-capitalism. What does institutional authority matter when they have no leverage over your money or your communications? It doesn't feel like it right now, but this is a massively empowering movement that's just started.
