I feel like this guy could not miss the point by much more distance. How much of a shell do you have to live in to think "well sure, someone died after fighting for the rights of millions of people, but jesus, you people are going to inconvenience us for a few hours? this is just ridiculous!"
- alecdbrooks 14y agoAs I read it, the point of the post is that the student workers are the only ones being inconvenienced and that Anonymous should be targeting the administration directly. In particular, note this part: "Scripts is MIT's largest web host but it's run entirely by student volunteers. Any and all attacks that are supposed to get the attention of the administration are instead being handled by SIPB members." Presumably, the author would feel differently if the ones actually affected were those responsible for Aaron's death, even if the author was personally inconvenienced.
- Confusion 14y agoSo after someone important to me dies, I can come over to your place and annoy you for a few hours? What exactly does that accomplish? Lumping everything connected to 'MIT' together as the same evil thing is shortsighted and counterproductive.
- MrScruff 14y agoI'm beginning to wonder if all the people preaching this 'Aaron died for your benefit so now you must suffer' line are Catholics. Taken to the extreme, this line of reasoning is what makes certain terrorist groups think killing random civilians is acceptable. After all, if you're a citizen of a country then you should be held personally accountable for all the perceived crimes perpetrated by your government, right?
