Another pointless, sanctimonious message from Anonymous

I probably should not dignify this by devoting a thread to it; but I've realised that I have reached the limit of my tolerance, where these videos are concerned.

They are self-righteous, melodramatic, and never lead to the accomplishment of anything.  The Million Man March was promised; nothing happened.  Project Mayhem was promised before that; nothing happened.

As someone in the comments said, the time has come for the new, Leftist, post-Occupy Anonymous to either put up or shut up.  If they do not do so, these videos are going to lose all credibility; assuming that they have not already.

But yet you thought it was important enough to share with us all.
 
Petrus, do you need a vacation? You get any more down in the dumps there going to be pulling you out all ragged and wore.
 
I would like to see the real petrus step forward again. If the world is getting to you, take a break. Cut the cord for a week(s) and go read a good book. Come back with a fresh mind.  Dude, your writing has dropped far below the fantastic vocabulary of text we count on reading from you. Just turn it off till your you again. We miss that person..

I listened and did not get the same impression as You did.  It seems whoever created that really does want a solution and is trying to bring about some kind of corrective change.

I added My work to the comments.

If you want to offer a radical alternative to the current regimen then hiding behind a mask is pretty unlikely to get you widespread public support.  You have to stand up and be counted.

The people who make these "anonymous" videos could be anyone...

I'm truthfully not sure what happened myself.  I've definitely noticed that my vocabulary has lessened, and my temper is chronic.  I only started using Reddit within the last month or so, and I've noticed that that has had an extremely negative effect on my personality.  I'm addicted to it at this point, though; it's hard to step away.

Just took a look at Reddit for the very fist time.

It has AVOID written all over it - you'll turn your brain to mush  :P

Come back to the light  ;D

Reddit has some gems amidst the gravel, there's some good science party, the photography, topic specific groups, but it is primarily young liberal males of limited life experience.  Stay out of their politics and the rest of the site is decent.

I think you're probably right.  The single main problem I've been having, is just the absolute level of despair that I've been feeling about the state of the world recently.  Reddit has really been feeding that, but it's not the whole problem.

I somehow desperately need to avoid exposing myself to three topics in particular, as they tend to really send me into a state of negative instability.

a}  The ongoing fascist degeneration of America.

b}  The potentially ongoing Islamic conquest and subjugation of the planet.

c}  Transhumanism, or the movement towards a society where we have invasive cybernetics; prosthetic limbs, etc.

They tend towards a fairly high degree of sexual degeneracy as well, from what I've seen; and they are very fiercely opposed to anyone who would dare criticise them for such.

Yep.  Young males.  History of humanity.

Also, I apologise for referring to the video in the OP as sanctimonious and pointless; I know that the authors of the video probably meant well.

I'm just...frustrated.  No doubt the author of said video is as well.  I wish I could do more.  That's really what I'm angry and unhappy about.  I feel as though a lot about the world that I used to consider valuable, is being destroyed; and I don't know how I can prevent that from happening.

I hear you.  I feel helpless sometimes too.

The only way to really not feel helpless - apart from getting stoned/drunk and burying your head in the sand - is to do something about it.  But what can we do?

My opinion, for what it is worth, is that the only realistic solution to this predicament is to build a credible, democratic, law abiding (where possible) alternative to the system and people who run it.  I am considering doing this but it would require a massive group effort and potential spokespersons (I include myself here) would be massive targets.

Anyway, I'm trying to trigger a debate about a few of these issues and I'd like to include as many members as I can,

Yeah, so?  What if the point is NOT WHO is saying what, but the IDEAS?  Why does it matter who the Individual is who is offering them?  In fact, that is precisely why I used the mask in My piece.
