We see this once in a while - some cause, a minor protest is pushed, mainly by 4chan to troll the world in general - making Rage Against The Machine hit number 1 in the charts at Christmas, bringing democracy to the middle east, etc.

When are we going to get together to force a joke party into power in a country? C'mon guys, we can do this. Imagine a world where power is owned by The Monster Raving Lunatic Party, The Lemon Party, The Guns And Dope Party? You guys are all so wrapped up in SOPA and all that crap that you can't see the real potential.

The internet has no boundaries, nor should we. Every country. Although starting in America would be the logical starting point I guess.

so what the hell do you want us to do exactly?

unite together is some mass trolling-hacking spree that we somehow destroy the world? sounds like fun, but hard.

If the internet was destroyed and was censored to death

i similar telecommunications network would form and take its place

the data would just be transferred differently

so it sort of reincarnates

So we make a country completely dependable by the internet, and run by the internet?
Would we have elected officials and such?

Germany's ahead of you on this one, OP. They have a Pirate Party which has seen a rise in popularity in recent years. Link.

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies.

I don't think the mass majority of the internet cares that much to pull off a stunt like this.

Although that glimmer of potential is beautiful and terrifying.

If the internet actually pulled their shit together and did something like that? I'd vote for them. I have been planning to just draw dicks with a nice big "fuck you all" on the ballot card. A joke party is exactly the sort I'd vote for.

yay compulsory voting australia

Because a the majority of people who would be influenced by 4chan or whoever decides to use the internet to pull off this stunt will be under 18. Therefore meaning they have no relevance
