Free speech and enterprise aren't really imbibed into us as a core value growing up here in India. It's an obscure concept that seems to be out of place in our culture.

So I do not trust the legal system or our culture to embrace it or support it in any sense.

You can fight for it, provided you have the resources. That's for people who are 'relevant'.

But what of the people who choose irrelevance and obscurity? Or those who are forced into it?

Tor, Nostr, Bitcoin and a myriad of censorship-resistant tools out there.

Beneath the veil of memes, ponzis, monkey jpegs, pornography and drug markers are tools that empowers voices of dissent.

Dissenters are indeed annoying to a lot of people. 'Nobody cares bro shut up' is what we usually tell the opposition. Till someone actually shuts them up.
