# Yes They Can

If you think [they](they.md) can't do something, you are wrong; unless it is directly violating a law of physics, they can do it. For example you may think "haha they can't start selling air, people would revolt", "hahaaa, they can't make people believe 1 + 1 equals 2000, it's too obvious of a lie" or "hahaaa they can't lie about history when there is a ton of direct evidence for the contrary freely accessible on the internet, they can't censor something that's all over the internet and in billions of books" -- yes, they can do all of this. With enough [capitalism](capitalism.md) you can make people believe a circle to be square, they have already made people desire their everyday torture, they made people believe colors and offensive statistics are just culturally constructed hallucinations, feminists have already made people widely believe a woman can beat an adult man -- a naive man of the past would likely believe this to be impossible as well. Well, we see under capitalism it is quite possible.

Resisting overlords is always futile in the end, the only hope is to establish [society without overlords](anarchism.md). You think "hahaha, if we create this super encrypted/decentralized computer network, we can simply communicate and they can do nothing about it, BAZINGA" -- well, no you can't. How can they stop this? They will simply ban computers you idiot, in fact you have only given them the reason to. You say "hahaha but I can have this calculator in my basement hidden" -- well, how many people will participate in your network if revealing such participation is punished not only by death sentence, but death sentence for you whole family; if even people who know about you participating in the network and not reporting you face the same punishment (already the case in some pseudocommunist countries)? If in addition people have no free time, if they don't have electricity at home, no will to live and there are also government signal jammers everywhere just in case? Enjoy your guerrilla resistance network with three people. You say "bbbb...but that cant happen ppl would revolt" -- NO. Have you seen chicken at chicken farm revolt? (Except in that one movie lol). "BBBb...BUT... people are not chicken". NO. People are literally physically chicken (to a stupid argument you get stupid counterargument). |
