CypherPunks are the Sufis of tech.
The elites, those in power, prefer a culture war, race vs. race, religion vs. religion,.. or even a gender war, men vs. women,.. Anything but a class war: the poor vs the rich. Political actors and social media platforms will amplify cultural division because they are emotionally powerful and easy to weaponise. Fear and hate keeps them in power. Identity-based conflicts create a fragmented working class, and unity among the poor is the elites’ biggest threat.
