Right, cyber demonstration, where I can show a billion people a video in one day (theoretically) is soo weak, it's so much better to go somewhere and show it to 100 guys with guns.
The point is that US soldiers, when side by side, would rather kill someone that doesn't see things their way than do the right thing. That's what it has come down to - we are the US, we kill anyone who disagrees with how we want to do things. The sad part is that any one of those soldiers, alone, would be brought to tears by a video like this and seriously consider leaving the army.
But the guy goes back, sees his friends, and he's TOO AFRAID to tell them what he REALLY THINKS of what he's doing.
So he keeps on killing, just like an obedient little bitch, knowing perfectly well what he's doing is wrong, knowing that he is murdering and not defending, but keeping on doing it because he is too scared of his buddies to stop.
Same thing when black people were hung; everyone was cheering and wooing even though I'm sure lots of people - when they got home - were sad about what they saw. But sure enough next time a black man was about to hang from a rope they would run out and cheer with their buddies, big smiles on their faces. Why did they do things they knew were wrong? Because they were too cowardly to speak their minds.
Online activism is the best thing there is right now, whether you like it or not, activists like Wikileaks have almost brought your government to its knees. So saying something like online activism is weak is just silly, wrong, and the words of an uneducated American. So typical.
