Physical violence is obsolete. Rioters are futile. The only way to victory over tyranny is inventing a kind of media efficient, reliable, anonymous, invisible and easy to establish enough to set information flows free without any compromises, totally or almost totally impossible to control, limit, eavesdrop or detect. I believe this is what separates the humanity from the next major level of development. The new messiah will be an engineer, physicist and/or a mathematician to invent whatever will make this possible.

What tyranny exactly?

[qwerty456127]

Whatever. A theoretical one. You name it. From whatever a political angle you are watching, you can probably notice quite a number of them in the world. By definition a regime is considered a tyranny once it starts doing harder to keep the power at whatever the costs than to improve well-being of the people. In the past people could oppose peacefully or violently, today they can't. My hypothesis is that a society where anybody can easily communicate to anybody secretly at any time will become an effectively self-regulating organism making cancers of organized crime and tyranny nonviable. Special services like the NSA or Roskomnadzor say they need to be able to eavesdrop and/or block everything to fight the bad guys, I believe this probably is a mistake (or a lie - everybody just wants the One ring and fighting the darkness is just an excuse to keep it) so whatever an app they try and fail to have/block has my sympathies. Once an app or whatever emerges able to stand the ground long enough and easy enough for everybody to use we'll see.
