So instead of a democratically elected US Govt dropping freedom from a 1 billion bomber on a 10$ tent, A bunch of hippies in a small part of the US should use the power of social media to control and direct conversation, culture and world events like some sort of a uber-exclusive shady techbro-illuminati?

The problem is genuine but any solution involving tech would only worsen the problem

The tech industry internationally should participate in some form of BDS (as much as they are comfortable with I guess) with these countries.

Also, I believe there should be something akin to the Hippocratic Oath but for developers and engineers.
