War of the Words

Project Chanology is on everybody's keyboards now, after the attacks on scientology on February 10th. Here's a nice forum thread about it. This is probably the new kind of revolutionaries we will see - legions of anonymous protesters who have no contact with each other save for access to free information.

Nobody controls these kinds of protests. Their methods may be immoral and faulty, but their motives are pure and I believe that for the most part, Anonymous is (for once) doing the right thing. The Internet exists to make all information available to all, everywhere. Historically, speeding up communication has always led to humanity's well-being. We stand now on the brink of an era when the last barriers are about to fall. If they don't, and the Internet is restricted, I doubt "democracy" will exist in a few generations.

The rise of Anonymous is a sign of our time. Sure, they a group of nerdy, trend-obsessed b-tards who enjoy posting retarded material on the internet. What matters in freedom if speech is not what you use it for. What matters is that you use it. Anonymous uses it.

Do you?
