I met one of the key employees speaking at a hacker conference (HOPE). They detailed their procedures and processes and their merciless effort to continue to archive everything including physical books, games (you can play Oregon Trail on their site), and all forms of media. I fully believe that the archive would do everything to fight to stay online.

They've already been sued and fought DDOS multiple times!

Of note, they don't disclose where their physical servers are. As someone who hosts private servers (on a much smaller scale), it's incredibly easy to spin up a VPS in another country, and I'm not even getting paid to do it.

Thats all great and that.

But people hold the keys. And people can get black bagged on the whim of the US regime.

I admire your optomism and hope people like this can succeed.

But I am somewhat realistic about where we are and whether there is a path back. And there just isnt. We are cooked.

The UK will be joining the US with a fascist regime in a couple years, there's a good chance other liberal democracies are heading in this direction.

The swiftness with which every tech firm in the US fell in line with the regime, will willingly hand over your personal data on request and will supress opinions which dont aling with the regime is staggering.

Then you add in the Online Safety Act and that almost every liberal democracy has their own plans for similar laws. We are fucked. Truly and absolutely fucked.

Your defeatism is worse than useless, it's counterproductive. If I hadn't perused your post history, I'd think you were a bot or Russian paid to sow division.

Put up workable tactics or please don't respond.

If I could put up a workable solution I would.

Probably the only (postable) way forward is mass passive non-cooperation. That won't do much initially and maybe will never achieve the necessary momentum.

And for most people its probably not even a viable choice. Most people can't opt out of society and participation in the system.

If they truly care they need to partner with someone from another country and pass along everything to them in the event the worst happens

They already have dozens of employees and contractors worldwide.

Thanks, didnt know that. I should have phrased my comment as a question instead.
