If SOPA/PIPA Passes

The internet has been passionately fighting everywhere we can to ensure our freedoms aren't taken from us in these unjust bits of legislation.

So lets say it does pass - what then? It would show our voice - the majority of America - the people's voice - doesn't really matter. Our politicians would have shown us they deem their own logic and reasoning more than millions of americans.

If it passes - do we turn violent?

Who here has never been a n00b?
Remember, the difference between a rookie and a luser, is that where the luser is to dumb to learn, a rookie hasn't got to the info he needs to clear the first levels. That can be already hard for ppl w/o friends that can help them, if SOPA et.al. isn't also going to slam every online door in their faces.

This goes doubly for ppl stuck in Inbredville and Lusertown. The power of the internet is supposed to be the way non-lusers can now get in touch with non-assclowns the world over.

This requires websites that don't dumb people down with adspace, product placements and payola galore long before the rookie gets to know that there really are non-idiots in there, somewhere, hidden between all the ads and the assclowns.

(And *chan is the perfect example of assclown-free forums. Riiiight.)


tl;dr: We need recruits.
We don't get those by knee-jerk excluding everyone who isn't already L33tz0rz.
