Makes for good copy. Nothings changed in 140 years except we get computers now instead of cholera. Did I say "140'? Let's make that 10,000. Tired of people trying to confirm their legitimacy by comparing themselves to some idealized struggle from the past.

"Defiance is the appeal. Yet it doesn’t take a lot of insight to see that the true feature of an Anon is not activism or defiance. It is submission."

I think that the 99% that is so outraged that they gather right now have over estimated how important they really are to the machine that is America.  If they can hang out on the street for weeks on end and not be missed, it doesn't say a whole lot about your place in this world other than you are sucking from it without giving anything but flax back.
