Coalition to fight mass Internet surveillance declares global day of action, Feb 11

In the meantime, the rest of us will try to get something accomplished.

Thank you! It’s funny how all the naysayers slither out each time anything like this tries to get started and then after success they quietly crawl back under their rocks. Pretty pathetic.

Of course, many of these same naysayers say that SOPA was unsuccessful because it inevitably gets re-introduced in other ways. However, the SOPA fight was very successful despite the unhelpful naysayers. Of course it’s being re-introduced in other ways. That’s what we expected. That’s why struggles for civil rights are called “struggles”. It’s a never-ending process against inevitable corruption, greed and bad actors. It’s not a nice, clean video game with a black and white ending. It’s an ongoing struggle that we fight for and that’s our human condition. It takes fortitude, but many of us will never give up… ever.

The pathetic naysayers who lack fortitude and courage want to project their own failings on others to make themselves feel better. Fortunately, we fight despite their lack of encouragement, infantile dismissiveness, divisive pedantry and focus on pointless semantics (while often focusing on pipe dream platitudes ) and trite, anti-solidarity nitpicking. Fuck’em.
