Riots are better coordinated when people can communicate wirelessly

A government can shut down a riot of 10,000

It struggles with 10 1,000 person riots.

    No doubt, but meshtastic really is a temporary solution, but a very good solution since it's only necessary for a temporary amount of time. I'm just saying there aren't really many cases outside of a catastrophic mass human extinction event that would disable the internet infrastructure beyond maybe a few years if that. Won't be a library of alexandria moment from a connectivity side, but which servers are still up is the real question

    I didn't know riots and protests 50+ years ago depended on the internet. Crazy.
