I would prefer a reality without the heightened research in violence that government enforcement can produce.  But governikus sounds like something helpful to me _if and only if_ it is not in competition with, but rather ensures support and protection of, other solutions.  Then it's another key signature which is great.

Haven't looked to know.

They are fully aware of it, and are actively leading
and relishing in that evil.

it's a dangerous game that is getting more dangerous, obviously, and will put unknown future new entities incredible power.  but means there's lots of pressure to solve our disagreements, which would be great.

hey technogovs: tech run by norms is dangerous now and we don't know how to hack you anymore to take you down reliably.  get your activities off the internet before we're subjugated by another secret force.

Democracies are no more or less despotic
than any other form of active government.
They're just better at hiding it under a shell game
and at making you feel good.

one learns this when oppressed but overall I personally agree with stefan's sentiment; expl: I was raised with american middle class messaging, and i've chatted with people on the internet from areas with forced dress codes or military drafts.  i've also chatted with usa street people with similar issues.  luck gives power: using it can take it away.

Who gave any "authority" any authority over you.
Where is your own self authority to opt out
and live freely without it?
