What is the final defense? I suppose we create underground relay networks of radio networks within cities that allow for computers to connect directly to eachother, and from there we seed all our pirated content and discuss whatever the hell we'd like. Maybe we'd have to contend with low bandwidth when we connect outside our own city network, using larger wavelength radio to bounce off the ionosphere across the plane…

… and over time you find you have become an ISP for child p*rn distributors, and that your only choice is whether you want to know it or not (Auschwitz guards recommend the second option, however that’s not available for unbroken human beings).

Yes, Mr. Market will pay you handsomely for helping someone anonymously stream a torture of kidnapped child.

No, as a society, we decided we don't want that to happen even though it is technically possible.

There are horrible people, and they are drawn as moths to any oblivious operator willing to close his eyes (sorry, wanted to say "use e2e encryption" of course).

> because for once in the history of civilization, we'd be fighting for our own right and not some elite group's right. I hope I am not alone in this line of thinking They depoliticized people to this degree that they fantasize of joining the a-political resistance movement, its kind of sad. This isn't meant as an insult, you should be angry that you live in a society that left you politically oblivious. Like no dude…

As suggested by a sibling comment, more often than not, those punching up are planning to replace the current elites with themselves, or a worse system. Thankfully, the opposition is not a homogeneous group, so use critical thinking to discard terrible options.
