I would fund things which make people less susceptible to manipulation and more equipped to think for themselves.

Because I believe in democracy not as a political tool but as a fundamental right. I don’t wish to use democracy to gain more power.

But maybe that’s why I’ll never be in that position, to make that choice.

This also would be manipulative. If you think society can provide you freedom, you are looking in the wrong places.

I think we can work together and provide ourselves freedom/collective agency/ some amount of say in the order of things

How would that be manipulative?
