One day we will be free from the clutches of corporate influences and government surveillance online. It will be a beautiful world that we built together that will not have the walled gardens of the past, and will be FOSS for all.

We will have to work to understand our algorithms, and to know just how to tweak and work with them to find what we need, but it will be a power that is far and beyond anything other peoples have experienced before. Together we will use these new tools and forms of organizing to create the political structure of the future.

Not for another oscillation in the cycles of revolution that will just create another structure of power and abuse; but to truly free ourselves from it for good. Finally with the power of cryptography we can finally own something through knowledge alone. No long can the force of might and violence overpower any individual who hodls their keys as a sacrosanct, and dignifies it as the gracious power that it truly is.

The world is already well on its way, and with tools like torrents, Bitcoin and Nostr they are already being built. One day when we are free we will look back upon these dark times, and realize how close we were to losing, and how powerful our enemies really were. It will only be in the final struggle when these systems of old implode and collapse upon themselves will we really learn how far reaching they really were, and how much power they really were exercising behind the scenes.

We will win, not because it is written or foretold, but because what we are doing is right.

This is for our children and future ones that are to come. To those who we have promised ‘you will be free and far beyond powerful in way that I could never understand, and for that, we have reserved this for you, and for you alone. It is not for my people, or any people to take from you.’
