Hactivism is now a word, even though Google Chrome has it underlined in red like it isn't one. We are facing a new dawn of communication and organization.
Beside it is the evolution of a new kind of civil disobedience.

Misty:My creed of behavior and ethos, as defined by my own personal morality. 

Civil Disobedience- The deliberate disobedience to any law found to be in violation of basic human rights. This definition is based off the U.S Constitution and the motto "The right to swing your fist ends where another man's nose begins." 

Bloodless. My god, I can't tell  you how much I don't want to harm another human being in the pursuit of justice. I'm not a pacifist. I just feel like harming the very species I wish so wholeheartedly to protect is counter productive and counter intuitive. I want to make this world a better place. You can't do that at the expense to the individual. 

Murphy's law states that the person you hurt is the one there on payroll. Sure, we all want to take a crack at the black-hearted villain and just-as-guilty associates. But at the end of the day, 90% of the time it's the janitor that's killed when activists/radicals bomb the 'empty' building. It's a 19 year old college drop out with a baby on the way that just joined the military who gets bricked in the face. It's a cop who just came off of a two day bender because his wife left him, and he's picking up this shift because he needs the money who gets shot.  

Bloodless. Who am I kidding? Emotions run high at protests, abortion clinics, marches and sit ins. It takes a certain degree of bravery to go to these things with the idealism that you won't hurt someone else. People strike out when they are attacked. It's a natural tendency that has to be controlled. But your effectiveness depends on not breaking rank, not breaking formation, not letting go. Every time you put your hands on the enemy, you take your hands off the people that need your support. 

So just be ok with the fact that you are probably going to get your ass kicked. 

Hey, black eyes make for great beer-bait at the bar. (Beer-bait is having a cool enough story that someone buys you a drink.) 

That is as far as I am now. 

I'd love to hear the thoughts of others. 

Please share.
