There are two ways to express power: voice and exit.

For example, the citizens of a country may respond to increasing political repression in two ways: protest or emigrate. Similarly, employees can choose express their concerns in an effort to improve the situation or quit their unpleasant job. Disgruntled customers can choose to talk with the manager, or shop elsewhere.

The choice between using voice and exiting depends on which method has the least amount of costs and most benefits. The greater the availability of exit, the less likely voice will be used.

When voice is no longer sufficient, you have one option: exit.

Exit fiat and use #bitcoin.

Exit twitter and use #nostr.

Exit big-tech and go #self-host.

Exit iphone and use #grapheneos.

Exit consent to be governed and become #sovereign.
