The trouble is that anarchism used to be very fringe.
Also conspiracy nuts were way out there.
Real hackers have to figure out where the meeting is taking place.
So, what happens when good ideas start becoming more mainstream... as all the old voluntairiest said would happen...
Well, you get nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs (there used to only be one or two of those tail killing contraptions)
Also, big brother is being turned up to 11.
So, it is appropriate to be nervous, however, we would like the good ideas to be implemented, and that requires coming together and getting 'er done.
Yeah you are right. I just hope we find a way to put this concentration of forward thinking minds to use on something revolutionary before the opportunity to do so is no longer there.
It's difficult though, for we are all too distracted by money.
