Now that we know for sure any stripe of pol will sell out for power; we know opensource is the only reasonable way to maintain the creative commons. Our government is broken (bought and paid for by the Goldman Sachs Mafia) and will stay that way for the foreseeable future. We should have no expectations for a system that empowers the stupid, ignorant and greedy; and given the failures of all other attempts to supplant this failed thing, there is hope and change only in individual action: like donating code to the pleroma.
