    Controlling the Internet this way is brilliant from an authoritarian standpoint. To have a revolution you need motivation and communication. Can’t be motivated to change your government if you’re not informed and you can’t organize in great enough numbers if you can’t communicate. Take note America.

      We need a signal for the revolution:

      Three small bombings, then Three large bombings, then There small bombings. (SOS, or in this case, Slay Our Slavemasters)

      ⚔️ It’s time, viva la revolution!
