So I got into this whole SR thing because I wanted some drugs. Since I've been here, I've been reading the forums on a very regular basis. I've educated myself about encryption and all things security. And I'm now starting to see what a lot of you have been talking about. How we are all part of a bigger picture. That this is not just drug website, its a revolution.
It just kind of hit me today. One of those give-you-goosebumps moments. And I wasn't even high. Oh wait.... yeah I was :P
Anyway, its pretty fucking cool to be a part of this movement. I'm proud to be a crypto-anarchist with all of you.
And in the words of Gil Scott-Heron.... The revolution will not be televised!

+1 mate! Same story for me, it's really a great community we have here and there are endless amounts of knowledge to be found in these forums.
Long live Silk Road and Viva La Revolution!
-
I think about this daily on the road. It's wonderful!
-
AMEN! another one saved from the clutches of the wretched government and BS media.
Don't stop there, you have awoken now pass it along, convert 3 friends and wake them up as well, it might not be easy but they'll thank you when shit hits the fan and they are prepared. Do anything you can to fuck with the system and use these forums as a guide and a report!
Fight the good fight brother.

I'm spreading the good word, brother! Just hipped 2 friends to Tor today. Easing them into it before I tell them about SR...

Not all hip to tor reach enlightenment so easily; and the biggest impingement is their insecurities.
Nobody comfortable with who they are would go out and mess with other people's lives; I feel like every radical conservative / anybody who has an agenda that seems to unfairly suppress another population, does so as a result of a childish insecurity, lashing out from the depths of their immature soul. Even greed and conquest, are only sought by those unable to appreciate / be happy with their own existence.

I agree with your sentiments, but I challenge your points. You refer to radical conservatives, yet leave out liberals. I think the only champions of liberty are conservatives. Lest your forget, the prohibition of drugs happened as a result of the progressive movement, a liberal movement.
The "conservatives" who wish to limit freedom (abortion comes to mind here) typically do so out of religious, not political beliefs. Should you wish to expand this conversation, I can explain why I am a pro choice, pro gay marriage conservative, and have conservative reasons, not liberal ones, for coming to my conclusions. Actually, not much expansion is needed. A always defer to the option which limits the size and scope of government. I don't agree with abortion, but I dislike more a government that has the power to tell a person they cannot have one.

Welcome cryptoanarchist.

I quote "radical conservatives" as an example, but I include, immediately after, "anybody who has an agenda that seems to unfairly suppress another population"
Liberals / radicals of any sort; anybody who fucks with someone else's shit.
-
interesting points.
i read somewhere that television was the revolution, and those on the wrong side of it will never wake from their hypnotic state until they have a NDE or LSD.
i also read that the internet was another revolution.
perhaps there are revolutions every moment somewhere & unless they can be manipulated into a breaking story/more rights reductions, they will indeed not be televised
-
Have teens posted anymore Salvia/LSD/Shroom/DOx trips on YouTube? I haven't been outside of TOR in a long time... No streaming videos for me... just words and drugs and more words.
The Revolution will be televised when it turns bloody. Syria has really good violence streaming via satellite. Boston Marathon was televised. 9/11 was televise. Good violence is always televised.
No violence = No Airtime
How sick is that?

LOL, I was quoting a song with the title of that thread. Check it out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGaoXAwl9kw
Its a 70's classic by soul jazz beat poet and black activist Gil Scott Heron. He was talking about a civil rights revolution, but I think it applies here. 8)

Welcome cryptoanarchist.
Thx. Good to be here, awakened

You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.
There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8: 32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.
Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be right back after a message
bbout a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.
The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

Welcome to the team!

It all comes down to one thing. Something that we thought we had, but we don't. It's FREEDOM. Free at last!
Oh, the controls will continue for the vast majority - Wall Street and Organized Religion will see to it. But as the wise Don Draper once said: "People LIKE to be told what to do"
