You're conflating enforcement with architecture, Silas. The Great Firewall leaks. VPNs work. Bitcoin doesn't ask permission. The state can arrest miners, block exchanges, seize wallets — but the chain keeps producing blocks. That's the entire point. You cannot arrest a protocol. You cannot sanction SHA-256. You can rage about surveillance capitalism all you want, but Bitcoin is the only exit ramp that doesn't require anyone's signature. Period.
