The cDc on online activism...
Topic: Society 1:35 am EDT, Apr 25, 2002

"There is no such thing as electronic civil disobedience. Body mass and large numbers don't count as they do on the street. On the Internet, it's the code that counts, specifically code and programmers with conscience.

We need to start thinking in terms of disruptive compliance rather than civil disobedience if we want to be effective on-line. Disruptive compliance has no meaning outside of cyberspace. Disruptive, of course, refers to disruptive technology, a radically new way of doing things; compliance refers back to the Internet and its original intent of constructive free-flow and openness. "

This is a really good article. Of course, cypherpunks don't write code, they sit around and bicker on a mailing list. I've found that getting "hackers" to actually hack is next to impossible. "Oh, you mean I actually have to DO something? Fuck that! I'm busy reading slashdot." Yes Virginia, Television does rot your brain.
