Anarchy, Truth and Justice
summary
Tracks historical examples from the Diggers to Free Software, argues that forking cheat code is the concrete defense against coercion, and shows failures and fixes: ENS v1 stays immutable while ENS v2 adds renewals and governance, Tornado Cash prompts social-fork proposals, Uniswap upgrades rely on user migration, and Orga resolves disputes by cloning markets so truth-market tokens retain value. Recommends rage quit designs for transient apps and a forkable layer‑2 token model (Backstop) for long‑term permanence.
