Governments worldwide will do anything to preserve their hegemony, except make living more tolerable.
Any potential movement against government overreach needs to counter every tactic they use. This means: communicating away from prying eyes and ears; using custom-made encryption when communicating remotely; full vetting of members, lest the movement be weakened; having a cell-based structure; knowing all the psychological tricks the govt. uses; etc.
(I can say these things freely because I am not a part of any movement ;) Additionally, I am not advocating violence.)
