This document discusses the nature of social media and online groups. It notes that while there is no overarching ideology, common themes among online groups include libertarianism, decentralization, anti-corporatism, secularism, and opposition to policies like the war on terror. It questions who leads these groups and acknowledges that even when groups agree on issues like human rights, they often have to fight governments that are supposed to uphold those rights. The document concludes by questioning how online groups can build given this environment.
5. a non-political revolution, there is no over-reaching ideology uniting the
various online groups; cyber-libertarianism mixed with social
responsibility, an ounce of hatred of authority with a hint of
decentralization. The spirit is anarchist, anti-corporatist, socially
liberal, secularist (even displaying open anti-religious sentiment ),
anti-War (including the War on Terror, Drug War and their ilk) and
are really disrespectful.
9. Even when we
agree on things ,
such as
international
human rights, we
usually have to
鍖ght against the
government, the
same government
that swears to
uphold them, in
order to protect
them.
