Bad reason to go to space. This small planet has a great lot of space and if used smartly, it will last us until the human race goes eventually extinct. If we damage it enough to accelerate our own extinction too bad, eventually Nature will spring back and evolution will put something else in our place.
The "conquest of space" makes sense if you have something to conquer. Find it, and there will be a conquest. We haven't colonized Antarctica yet, and that's peanuts compared to space.
Seriously, loserboys. You don't know how to handle this, do you? Since it's at the moment impossible to take on the system, take on the little guys.
Contact a number of people willing to support the initiative and act: submit to the pat-downs, and afterward complain about the officers being "rude", making "lewd comments" and behaving in an "inappropriate" manner. You need enough complains to both the authority and the press, and this will make life... Unpleasant for the uniformed drones. After a while they'll get the message, especially if enough foreign visitors will complain to their own governments.
Remember: "inappropriate conduct", "lewd comments" and alleged molestation will destroy a life. So, destroy with no hint of mercy.
Why not? Let's use it the other way around. Let's put those devices in some remote locations and make the copyright cops find them. Then spring a trap on them.
Imagine that, couple of industry goons come over, expecting to bust some filesharing crew and instead, they find themselves cornered by an angry mob armed with axes and clubs, and the slaughter begins.
Or simply put an explosive charge in the dead drop: they open it, BLAM! No more head.
Sweet...
Loserboy nerd, the reason that football is here in the first place is to enable the President to react swiftly in the worst-case scenario. The worst case scenario, loserboy nerd whose arms I happily twist, is a nuclear strike launched by a foreign power through ICBMs: the time to impact is measured in minutes, and if SLBMs are involved it's a very tight race. No time for planned and thorough discussion. By the way, the President can't order a strike by himself, the order must be validated by another member of the National Command Authority, you loserboy nerd whose head I gladly smash against walls.
Now, loserboy nerd on whose face I joyfully defecate, think back to the last time you've been beaten up: how much time did pass from early warning to first kick in the groin? I'll tell you: 2 seconds and a half. How much time from that first kick to having your scrawny neck grabbed and your head bashed into a locker's door? 1 second and a half. From this to arm twisting, less than 3 seconds. It's another 5 seconds or so until brown swirling. Another 10 seconds until facial defecation. When exactly did you have time to react, huh? Nowhere. Not enough to have a planned discussion on what to do. And now that I think of it, I'll think next time I'll leave you exactly the time for that, before I laugh in your face, kick your teeth in and have the rest of the football team stomp on your twisted spine and urinate on your quivering remains.
Dismissed, loserboy nerd.
It will be used against protesters: spray the crowd, then arrest them one by one afterwards when they're all alone. Then subject them to the same old ritual: beating, beating, beating, interrogation, beating, beating, beating, humiliation, beating, beating, beating, defenestration.
Oh yeah. They weren't a threat. That's why they had ICBMs. That's why they could race the US into space. Tell any citizen of the former east European combloc that Russia wasn't a "threat", they'll tell you exactly why you're the result of anal intercourse done wrong. Your fantasies about communism have been shot down in flames by history and burned in the great incinerator of reason. I can understand no-skilled lazies like you love socialism, but the truth is that it doesn't work. As for capitalism, it's not what we have now. What we have is corporativism where only the established economic subjects can trade and profit while individual initiative is stifled in favour of the Big Boys. Actually, it's far neared to communism than to capitalism. Now take your ignorant ramblings, shove them up your ass and into the sorry vacuum that is your braincase and shit your life away in silence. Dismissed!
Given superpowers, I'd be evil. No contest, it's just better. I wouldn't want to be an overlord, of course, because then I'd have to saddle myself with a whole planetload of loserboys. No, I'd simply be evil and do very evil things. I'd beat up the whole world and shit on its face. And that would be good because, you see, with me around you loserboys would stop fighting among themselves and unite to fight me. And as lons as you would have me to fight, you would behave among yourselves. All that in the hope of beating me. But that will never happen because I'd have superpowers, you know, and I'm simply smarter than you. So I would keep beating you up and shitting on your face. Forever.
"Are the Nazis just as valuable as everybody else? Of course not."
Because they lost the war. Before 1939 a good lot of the world was more than happy to trade with the Nazis and if they hadn't lost big time and had access to a vast market and lots of money, we'd offer them to outsource extermination. Money >>>>>>>>> Everything else. The rest is bullcrap.
This is not the case: TOR is horribly slow, Freenet is horribly slower. Moreover, given that the technical resources at the disposal of the media mob are superior to anything a private individual can ever hope to own, in the end they will win. The fight for a free Internet must be fought in the real world and since the enemy will not listen to reason, it must be forced to reason by force.
Anyone who seeks to profit by sueing P2P users must be targeted for violence. Lawyers may be intimidating in court and from their high rise offices, but stick a knife into them and they bleed and die like anyone else. Send explosive packages to sleazy firms like ACS:Law, kill or maim their employees, destroy their offices and property. Attack them on the streets. Money doesn't avail you when you're surrounded by a gang of masked men with tire irons and a can of gasoline.
Hail, hail, hail the uberjock who invented this. Ignore the naysayers and the ignorant comments from loserboy nerds who don't understand the importance of the device, and who obviously never had to deal with a rocket-powered line thrower, which work on a similar principle. It's a cool idea and it will be a great help to sea rescue operators (who happen to be jocks).
Then we'll up the ante. Once they get their offices raided by masked armed intruders, their staff - secretaries, clerks, lawyers, everybody - is cut down by a withering hail of gunfire, their bodies ripped apart by full-automatic bursts of jacketed hollow-point and full metal jacketed bullets, their execs dealt with by decapitation and/or defenestration, their facilities destroyed by explosives, they'll see the line: unconditional surrender or death. Even the most callous media fatcat cannot really put a straight face before the high-definition video of his family being thrown into a garbage truck and compacted.
The only people who will be "helped" by the new healthcare system will be the health insurance industry critters. Their shareholders are already furiously masturbating in a pile of their own feces thinking of the heaps of lovely dosh you will be forced to pour into their pockets while they jizz away on your stiff corpse.
Destroy the equipment, for starters? it's not like those devices are cheap, and shit happens. Something bad can happen to the private entities contracted to operate and maintain them.
Oh, there is a way to make them run out of money: massive and unrestricted targeting of their assets for destruction. Blow their shit up, burn it, destroy. Cause so much damage that even insurance can't cover them anymore. If they try to intimidate the public, then they can't complain if intimidation turns to be a multiplayer game. They can fight with lawyers, we fight with firebombs. They drive families into poverty, we draw screwdrivers through their eyeballs. They raid torrent sites, we raid their offices with heavy firepower. For Internet Freedom, STRIKE!
"99.99% of the complaints from from some zit faced teenagers in a garage running some random scanning software full of bugs but toting an official sounding name and purporting to be a representative of one of the filthy greedy money whore companies out to rip off people and sue for profit as much as they can."
And why exactly are you allowing those pieces of shit to keep doing it? Pay a house call, beat them up, destroy their equipment, issue a warning. Next time you come back with pliers and a good blowtorch. Intimidation by violence is way more effective than intimidation by pieces of paper.
And here, folks, we have the ultimate product of "modern" society: a completely useless air-breather that only exists in function of the environment that made it. He would eat plastic if told to and would die immediately if his internet connection were to be cut. There are many like him - we call them "polymer stormtroopers" for laughs - and they believe they live in the best possible world. They know, or don't want to know, anything else. Actually, they hate all that is different and would kill for their "perfect" society. Only, they can't. Because they're loserboys. When you meet one, slap it across the face to silence it, then proceed to pummel it into the ground. Facial defecation is optional.
Even jackbooted thugs have families. The paltry sum their masters give them is not going to mean much when after a hard day's work of intimidation they come home to flaming ruins and mangled bodies.
Exactly. Those kind of laughable kids' games will do absolutely nothing. The media lobbies will never be hurt by a mere DDoS attack, nor they will be investigated for illegal practices. They're simply too powerful, economically and politically. They're de facto untouchable.
But they're not immune to physical attacks. If you shoot their executives in the head, they die as well as anybody else. If you bomb their offices, they are destroyed. So, the only avenue of action is unrestricted violence against the MAFIAA and all who works for them.
Are you a programmer, a software engineer or anything like who works for them? We cut off your fingers and force you to eat them raw. Are you one of their lawyers? First warning, we bomb your office and kill some of your staff. Second warning, we torture your family to death. Third time, you'll be drawn and quartered. Are you a MAFIAA corporate drone? You will be maimed by a letter bomb or killed by a IED. Are you one of their executives? Your family will be kidnapped and burnt alive, you will be torn to pieces by wild dogs. Anyone even remotely connected with your business will be poisoned, stabbed or shot. Your offices will be destroyed by bombs.
If you escalate, we'll put in action far more drastic measures. We mean it. Are you prepared to die for your money? Are your employees ready to give their lives for yours?
Why wait for "one day" and such extreme measures? We know where those clowns are. Get their CEO, two shots to the chest and one to the head, problem solved. Lock their offices closed with all the workers inside, set them on fire. Anyone who dares to follow in their footsteps ends up killed. His family is slaughtered as well. No need to go nuclear. And no need to wait for some unlikely saviour.

Shall they be known as "kinectic-kill weapons" now?
Loserboy nerd, if they enter the WiFi passkey in the laptop, it's childplay to extract it.

Stoned in a padded cell and grumbling while popping Vicodin like mints. Where else, loserboy nerd?

Well, you know what happens when someone doesn't have anything to lose anymore...
Maybe that someone goes postal, or puts together a nice boompack, or suicide-bombs the nearest MAFIAA office.
Nobody who works for the media mob deserves to live anyway. Money and lawyers cannot do anything Death itself.
