I've never seen even the primitive tools of consent manufacturing firms being used for commoners' interests. Like social sensitivity analysis, key actors, dynamic models of brainwashing. There is such a huge power differential it's completely comical to think of any change against the interests of the billionaires or the biggest bureaucrat toads. That Mr. Durov, also a member of this class, wants to fight "digital ID" lmao. If you want to fight this battle, you'd need completely different methods than doing a few petitions. You'd have to get a huge amount of computing power and use that to find the key actors, then target them with novel forms of brainwashing and thought control through information they receive, let computers work out positions they can be cornered in, to strongarm them against their will until they are buckbroken. Stuff like that would cost billions, It could still easily be financed by commoners, but I haven't seen any efforts to organize this, and I probably won't, because information flow is largely controlled, so that one can not reach a huge part of the population in a meaningful way to convince them of fighting back in such a way. The normal person's position is that everything is reasonable and largely in their own interest, because they've got some shelter and food on the table.
