Have some karma, guys - whilst I still get to post.

Really couldn't agree with you more, my binary friend.There is very little in the way of action, very little in the way of a properly balanced response, because when you try to stand in the face of apathy on the sand of personal agendas, you tend to get shot down for it.

Web 2.0 is coming. The internet is going to become restricted, It will be increasingly difficult to obtain hardware that will do other than its makers intended.

So where is the alternative? For all their posturing, most people on the internet will just complain, but settle down and take their restrictions like good little sheep. They'll eventually come to love their nice clean corporate networks where no real news gets to them and all the nasty words are bleeped out.

Trouble is, we don't want those people on the underground internet. The people that are going to have access to the real internet, after your ISP cuts your access down to e-mail and corporate sites, wont want the people who stood around the virtual water cooler and just squabbled over semantics and tried to gain pathetic wins over others with childish responses.

There are people with alternatives, both hardware and software, that are moving to counter this threat to the internet, but they'll be granting access only to those who can use it responsibly, and appreciate what they have.

There are still places on the internet where free speech and balanced argument and core values reign, Where people don't resort to childish responses to get their way, in the face of truth this site does not, in my experience, currently seem to be one.

I would suggest you find those people on this site that are prepared to fight for what they believe in, and converse directly with them.

Thanks for posting that video, Alemaker, good stuff.  What struck me as most interesting is when Alex started talking about how it Internet 2 might be implemented.  He was talking about letting the current Internet "break down," "degrade," or calling it a "collapse."  The first thing I thought about was NewsReal for Aug 11, 2008 when Sean reported on the iPatriot Act, and a possible Internet 9/11.  Wouldn't that be a great reason to switch off the "security flawed" current Internet and implement a new, better, faster, Internet 2?


My answer is...Patriots.

Sorry Alemaker, my rant about people just talking wasn't directed towards you at all. I humbly apologize if it came across as such, my emotions got the best of me and I typed it all out. Again, I apologize.

That's why I come to forums like these, because here in Colorado...there doesn't appear to be too many WOG types...or other Anarchists that I can associate with. I personally believe it'll be people like us on the forums who actually do something about these kinds of problems.

There's not much you can do about it. it's been shown that voting doesn't do much good. The internet will probably get locked down harder than hard eventually.

But I'm prepared for that eventuality. I've learned how to build Packet radio transceivers (not that hard actually) i'm keeping old dialup modems around, I keep all my old wifi cards, I learn how to turn old outdated hardware into routers, switches, dialup nodes. I'm sure you can see where this is going.

You ever run a business?  A "general strike" will not, in the long run, benefit the workers.  What it will do is eventually weaken the company they work for, and the company will either capitulate, or go under.

How many times has a strike caused a company to close its doors?  Then what, sparky?  Now all those striking workers are unemployed with no way to feed their families.

The balance between labor and management is a difficult and complex one;  Calling for a general strike indicates that perhaps some further understanding of economics is in order.

S

no profiterring by making money off of slavery all ways seemed barbaric to me, i rather more go in for enjoying myself by producing things from my labour and giving them away for free, it's much more fun.


the cause are affected diffrently depending on how you choose to live your life, anyone will starve if they allow themselves to, they might get off there laurals and stop pissing up the wall and create a useful society instead though, old theory here it's called you evolve or you die, id rather have 100 hungry workers around then one profiteering fat egotist that believes he allowed control others because he own's a pile of worthless money. Since i refuse to egotise about how these supposed factory workers should organise themselves how could i possible force them to organise there labour thats there buisness not mine or would you like me to just replace you and yours?


How about you don't try telling me what books i should take stock from and i won't take stock of the crap nonsense you obviously fill your head with.

I understand perfectly the modern pseudo economics of the state run capitalism. But quite simply if all those that actually make and produce things stop work all those useless idle fucks that need to die will slowly do exactly that and please believe me those that make things are far better adapted to surviving then any utter useless mechant class(which you seem to favour?). The needs of a person are very easily dealt with and free from the burdon of you and your profiterring egotists the work would get organised far better.

I believe harleguin is with R4ner5

Avagdu has his stuff up on that site too

I'm pretty sure they are not the same person.
