This line reminds me of Steve Job’s ad which was reminiscent of Orwell's 1984 - on breaking away from the conformity and control of the dominant controls.

From a monetary perspective world took on different paths - the US and friends, and Soviet and Islam (of which is combining to BRICS) . The only way countries will be able to breakaway from these controls is through Bitcoin as global currency.

Similarly from a mind control, legacy media then, and centralised social media now have to pander to governments. The political arguments are often used to rile up gender and race related issues to force people to pick sides.

I was reading Sartre's work last weekend and his ideas on existentialism and human freedom reflect how societal divisions like race and gender can contribute to the conflicts of human existence. Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched Earth is good too - on the deep-seated conflicts from effects of colonization and racism arising from these societal divisions.

Venenzuela and Malaysia overcoming dictators Maduro and Mahathir had a lot of influence from the US. On one hand the people wanted to come out of oppression. On the other hand, the US plays the savior role - and even if did good for the people, the people have to figure out that they can save themselves - they have the power.

And here is where decentralised media like Nostr will play a crucial role for people to get the info that they want, instead of being fed it. And will become a true indicator of what the people are leaning towards.

This is such a complex world but the more I understand it, the more I realise we are all on the right path here.
