Sorry, you must be a member of the group to do that. Join this group.
Whereas a social movement has to persuade people to act, a government or a powerful group defending the status quo only has to create enough confusion to paralyze people into inaction. The internet’s relatively chaotic nature, with too much information and weak gatekeepers, can asymmetrically empower governments by allowing them to develop new forms of censorship based not on blocking information, but on making available information unusable.
We lack the solidarity of previous groups. Because of our nimble nature, we don't form bonds and are more subsequent to falling apart easily.
