Random thought. When I was a teenager I knew bunches of kids who understood enough about computers to hack them and subsequently secure them.
The thing is now I understand that propaganda is essentially psychological warfare, and have been thinking that it would be interesting to get kids into groups that go around and ... well, infiltrate racist message boards, collecting information, trying to discover identities, connect to organizations/corporations... etc.
Read news web sites and respond to the wealths of racist comments that proliferate them, overtly and covertly. Begin to educate people by getting them to think about the silly things they say so casually. I've done this to a degree and had interesting/informative discussions, and also gotten a few people to think about their racist views.
Organize online protests/boycotts of news articles - news is now semi-interactive like never before, but usually only en-mass.
CREATE subversive anti-propaganda and also covertly organize publicity stunts calling attention towards acts of injustice, issues in perspective, misinformation, and propaganda.
Teach people how not to get hacked, viruses, etc, fix computers...
(That was my initial idea... how the mind wanders...)
For some reason it seems kids now-a-days are supposed to be kids ...
And taught that most of their time they should run around like chickens
doing whatever they please, most of them grow up with only fairly
disciplined approaches to work.
However, I don't think that is how people should grow up, I think it is our
Educational system, which has weakened peoples minds into a mush that
is only capable of performing rote mechanical behaviors repetitively until failure.
Ok, I have to go, but I'm thinking of making this idea into some kind of business
and going to Africa and teaching 10 year olds to deface obscene cnn commentary.
Will teach english, also.
