Internet Rebellion
Today I was told that Internet Rebellion wasn't dumb, it was just radical.
Radical? Really?
Radical is sitting at a counter where you are prohibited to sit because of centuries of discrimination built into the very legal code, and not getting up or retaliating no matter how intensely you are ridiculed or beaten.
Radical is refusing to eat until the illegitimate authority that has ruled your land through fear and intimidation, along with outright terror, leaves. And not only that, but sitting in the streets as a reminder of your cause.
Radical is subverting the governing authorities who rule on fear, terror, and murder, through love, kindness, and generosity.
Radical is Martin Luther King Jr. Radical is Gandhi. Radical is Jesus.
I'm all for radical. I live my life attempting to be a subversive rebel in the name of Love in a world of violence.
BUT.
Being insufferable and intolerable on a web forum aimed at children, because we won't allow you to post adult material, innuendo, large photos that tax our strained servers, various amounts of spam or stupid internet memes is not radical. It is not cool, and it is not something to be proud of.
Internet rebels are just spoiled malcontents who don't realize that they aren't the most important person in the world.
