This is interesting, but I believe that this just highlights the real problem even further: The system itself is so irrepairably broken and corrupt that this kind of solution becomes necessary.

I'm an engineer (industrial) IRL and at my job we meme 'simplicity means success' (especially when shit goes wrong lol) because of how many projects have failed because they were technically feasible, but just required too much rigamarole/complexity/input to make them work in the long run. Too many rube goldberg machine projects.

The system needs to be burnt to the ground and started from scratch. These meshnet systems will turn into infinite wack-a-mole with authorities until we're dead or they're dead.

Yes, Occams's Razor...

"Nature does not employ two things where one is sufficient."

But one must create constant 'complexity' to deceive, so as not to be seen as an obvious deceiver.

I have no idea what the fuck he is talking about. I do know that what you are saying is true. I also you don't know the likely/realistic/possible path from here to burned to the ground. So it is conceivable that this meshnet thing is part of that path.

Meshnets are essentially wireless routers connected to one another forming a network.

I'm not saying don't do it or that it's not worthwhile in the long run. Just don't expect too much from it. Voat has had discussion about meshnets for years and nothing has ever materialized. IIRC the only (or one of them) working example of one is some random rural town in Spain and that's about it. I would expect government kikes to make it illegal everywhere if it actually gained traction anywhere.
