TLDR Namecoin should facilitate a free internet first in those geographical areas where the freedom is overtly lacking. There have been past conversations on this thread about, for example, a browser plug in that seamlessly surfed both ICANN and .bit addresses. You could open your browser, land on a page that had .bit and .com addresses, and click on either to go to the page. Once that facility got some usage in a country where it had practical political value, its use would seep into other countries organically. If that is what you are doing then very smart. Could work to some extent.
Stop wishing for someone else to put in the work and do something yourself.
Be the change you want to see... rather than being so negative that you make a list of excuses on why not to do "this" or why "that" won't work.
