This is why I specifically said that your friends and family are where
the battle is really at -- not some impersonal public demonstration in
front of the bad guys' palace. (If your friends are online, then
Freenet is useful. If you expect to teach online strangers, then I
believe you will probably fail. Speaking from (extensive!) personal
experience :p.)

I don't believe "rogue governments" exist. They are all supported by
the majority -- probably via ignorance -- but supported nonetheless.
