If you really want a chat tool to start a revolution, meet in person with people you trust and don't bring any electronic devices with you. And only talk to people who you really trust. Forget phones.
a super power I wish I had.
Would Briar be a good alternative? https://briarproject.org/ edit: How it works: https://briarproject.org/how-it-works/
It looks like this allows short range communication, but doesn't set up a meshnet. So wouldn't be great for anything more than a couple hundred feet. Beyond that though, at this point for protests (in the US at least), the suggested opsec is to leave your phone at home.

Briar actually does set up a meshnet for groups and forums, so long as people are contacts of each other. See the diagram here: https://briarproject.org/img/howitworks3(mobile).svg

Not exactly. Briar uses bluetooth or wifi when peers are close, but also tor (over standard internet) when not, so it's possible to use it at wide scale.

I think a combination of LoRa, bluetooth, and WiFi might be the alternative. I've seen videos of LoRA functioning below the noise floor (perfect for evading RF triangulation), and at 200km (perfect for reaching past physical borders). The major weakness is line of sight (and availability), but bluetooth and WiFi can help there.
