REPLY: So important to know that Gab. That grows my trust in you! Much appreciated.

If we truly want to deviate from the digital status quo, prioritizing education as an end to itself is vital. We need to recognize that building up the people’s knowledge is a more worthwhile endeavor than providing a ‘solution’ that teaches them nothing.
REPLY: I laud that motivation and intention. The people that can help make this happen need to match you in at least commitment energy and investment.
My concern is that for the most part there is a sh*t storm of bogus info, or incomplete info, or bias and prejudice info that muddy the path ahead. It will take each of us to step back from what we think we know and get to higher ground to see what there is to know.
How to have a clear message and examples that inspire motivate and keep people engaged. I don't mean you don't have a clear message. Your communication is one of the most clear, clean and pure as well as engaging of any I have read anywhere at any time.
But perhaps I be the choir. Movements as deep and as foundational as you propose grow slowly. Hang in there. This movement has legs, but as a baby it can only crawl.
Don't sell the Russians short. Elsewhere I have mentioned Dr. Lynn Margulis (deceased) work in the West to get Symbiogenesis accepted. The Russians beat the West is naming, understanding and developing this idea from idea to fact. They were 75 years ahead of the WEST and the west is still dragging it's feet. Time will tell if the Russians will lead in this as well. It would be nice to see Canada come alive though.
You have a gift for articulating these ideas in such a clear way, without devolving into many of the pitfalls we often see in similar discussions, such as being sucked into political/partisan BS that invariably ends in making concessions on liberty for supposed safety which just never ends. Your selection of open source tools is on point too, and the willingness to self-host is key. It's a vast rabbit hole, but it emphasizes the need for embracing personal responsibility to retain autonomy.
I have to wonder which one "My favorite Linux Distribution" is? :)
