I agree with the sentiment here. Power structures rarely give up influence voluntarily. Blackmail, pressure, propaganda, and narrative control are unfortunately part of politics everywhere, not just in one place. Expecting those in power to suddenly act against their own interests is probably unrealistic. What does work over time is daylight — open research, open discussion, and people sharing facts without fear. That’s why decentralized systems matter. Tools like Nostr, cryptography, and open networks make it much harder to completely suppress information or control the narrative. In the long run, transparency and open knowledge tend to win.
