You ever notice what happens to proponents of the Internet as a tool to empower freedom, liberty, and knowledge? Aaron Swartz, Ross Ulbricht, and Edward Snowden all succumbed to the pressures of the pervasive oppression we know through its many facets - manipulation to suicide, imprisonment, or forced secretive isolation.

We need more men in this world today that don't give a fuck. That know right from wrong. That have the opportunity of stage to express the sentiments so many of us hold. So many who make it to the top instead are the evil cocksuckers purporting the ferris wheel of usery, exploitation, forced ignorance, and deceit.

Well that's the thing with evil people: they will do ANYTHING to get what they want.

Good people have scruples. They have limits. Which makes them unequal to evil ones in a fight, since the dirtiest tricks are off limits to them, but not their opponents.

It goes for commerce, politics, anything really. Evil always wins. Which is why the movie industry tries so hard to get us to believe that the good guys always win. Only in movies. Only for brainwashing purposes, the reality is 100% opposite that.
