Somehow the "empowerment" of people doesn't seem to hold up too well when most citizens are unwilling to take up arms and die for a cause. Sure we can march on the streets, carry our pitch forks and torches, hold hands and sing of praises to the draconian executions of the "bad guys" but to what end? I fail to see why people are being "worked up" for nothing (an "empty philosophy", if you will).

Who was the architect of the Civil Rights Movement? If you said Martin Luther King, you are sadly mistaken and this is what tptb love - you being misinformed.

The sad truth, is that there is something wrong with the entire world in which we live. I was born October 4th 1986, and have watched this family called human kind spiral downward at an ever quickening pace.

The biggest thing wrong with this plan is the idea of "unplugging" first.
Recent events in the middle east have shown that social media & the internet are powerful organizing tools for social change.
Why throw away your biggest tool for reaching people? It's like having a silent protest in your own living room, and not telling anyone. Why would anyone care?
