We already know how Cuckflare basically centralizes the entire internet via DNS.\
So they still let you self host your websites, but they'll make DDoS attempts to lure you into their centrally controlled network.\
See it like Fakebook on steriods basically.\
But did you know that Goolag and Microshaft pull this very same trick for email as well?

Despite having explained what "YOU are the power" means so many times before, people still can't seem to get it.\
So I figured I'll give you an example of that.

I don't know the real numbers, so I'll just pull the numbers out of my ass.\
70% of the email users (and 95% of the normies) use either gmail.com, or outlook.com, or hotmail.com, or live.com (the latter 3 are all owned by Microshaft, but don't worry about that just yet), another 20% (and the remaining 5% of the normies) use G Suite or whatever Microshaft's equivelant to that is for email hosting through their own domain names, so about 90% of the email is in the hands of one of the 2 big tech companies.\
Because of this massive amount of power they hold, [they can tell the remaining 10% who run their own email servers to add in certain DNS records just to not be cut off from this email industrial complex](https://cfenollosa.com/blog/after-self-hosting-my-email-for-twenty-three-years-i-have-thrown-in-the-towel-the-oligopoly-has-won.html).\
Now the guy in the link above has lost the battle due to how powerful the evil guys are.

However, what if we all decide to turn the tables around?\
What if this 10% all decided at the same time to give big tech a middlefinger and say "we will not comply with your insane demands"?\
At some point those enslaved to the evil entities will have to contact people on a freedom server, and they're not going to be able to.\
If that happens to enough people in large quantities every single day, the people will complain, and will either leave and look for some place else (or host their own maybe?), or they will demand their big tech overlords en mass to fix it.\
Either way they'll have no other choice but to drop their demands (and perhaps push it again once they become too powerful again).\
So even though we're clearly in the minority, we can actually win.\
Because those 90% will still want to have compatibility with the other 10% sooner or later.
