Grassroots
If you ask me, I think that armed vigilante groups are going
to come out on top in the world. These groups will realize that the government
will not stand up for their purposes, so they take matters in to their own
hands. Their numbers will swell as more people are convinced to join through
convincing propaganda and word of mouth (and free pens). Eventually they will
infiltrate the higher echelons of government and either break it down into a
dictatorship (this happened in the past), or just be so annoying that members
of government do what they ask only to be rid of them. Here are a few groups
that I think would go places if given the chance.- Society for the Elimination of Poison Arrow Frogs (SERD):
This group will begin in South America, and will start out as a group of friends
who had lost someone to these minute beasts. They will begin convincing people
to join their cause and collect a large cache of weapons through connections in
the drug trade. Their primary activities include violently enticing people to
follow their cause and eliminating frogs one-by-one by hiking through the
jungles. Eventually, the government will try to stomp out SERD as the poison
arrow frog gets listed on some environmental protection list. There would be
violence, a coup, and eventually SERD will hold a lot of power and decide to
finish off what's left of that rainforest. - Free Punch in the Face Coalition: Inspired by YouTube's
"Free Hugs" campaign, a group of friends decided that this wussy-like
activity needed to be stopped. The way they see it, the world is already too
peaceful of a place, and there needs to be more violence. They will post their
own YouTube video with a catchy song that would be seen by many. After a flare
up in Iran involving the president and an involuntarily acquired black eye, the
governments of the world try to track down the video uploaders. The Coalition
catches wind of this, acquires arms, and goes on the offensive. - NAMBLA: Enough f~cking around. It's on.
