It took a holiday to ignite it, and it was soon put back down, but it happened. It can happen. It did happen. Because of the holiday the feeling of the people changed. And after the holiday the feeling of the people changed back. But that doesnt change the fact that all it takes is a change of heart to make this happen.

Maybe they are trying to recruit you since you are pushing the party line of "resistance is futile?"
Lol.
BTW, I dont think you are doing it deliberately. But it is their message you are spreading.

He is right. The internet is the number one hazard. To corporations who seek to turn the world and all its people into "resources" to be exploited at will by manipulating the flow of information and hindering our ability to communicate and organize.
I am always dismayed at how many otherwise intelligent people assume that those with wealth and power are going to work in our best interests. Especially since all of recorded history is a proof that they do not.

Well said. Our approach (my wife and I ) is not to hide so much but to place ourselves in a place (a state to be named later) and surround ourselves with like-minded people.
If EVERONE took care of themselves, then the problem ceases to be. Effectively disarming those that would put us in harms way to begin with.

Resistance is futile, because it's not resistance that wins the day or paves the way.

Ultimately you have to have a plan of your own to live, and survive after you have defeated what you are resisting. No plan, well defeating them, nor resisting them, didn't really do you any good. Probably left you worse off.

Yet the average person could care less then, the average person could care less now.
Someone who does care could find out all about it on the Internet, and no matter how many facts they are armed with, someone who doesn't care, or it doesn't suit their political, national or religious agenda, can just say...that's not true!
A proper treatment of the Socratic claim that no one knowingly does evil could be a very long discussion; we will only touch on it briefly. First, to clarify, Socrates does not mean to suggest that no one ever commits an evil act out of hatred or selfishness. Rather, he wishes to suggest that hatred, selfishness, and any other source of evil action can ultimately be traced back to ignorance. For Socrates, hatred between people is the result of misunderstanding or miscommunication, and selfishness is the result of deficient self-knowledge. If we knew ourselves and others fully, and had a full understanding of the facts at hand, we would never commit an evil act.
