You know....here's the thing about the Tools of Technocracy. They require a centralized and well-run control plane. If the Overclass is anything it is over-confident in their ability to centrally plan (and control).

Learn RF. Learn to hack. Learn drones. These tools...they can be turned against them. The saying "There are many more of us than them." is one of the most under-appreciated memes I've seen floating around these last few years.

The Luddites had it only partially right. Philosophically, yes. Tactically, no. Use their tech against them.

Yeah. Day 1 of Melbourne's hard lockdown the entire city went apeshit with "roadworks" that all involved fiberoptic cabling and cameras, and every primary and secondary school I know got a "free" CCTV system upgrade.... ai built in. With the social distancing shit built into it. Same as public peddy crossings. It's all there ready to be switched on in Melbourne has been for 2 years.
