Some of the classics ring a little too true…

      Heh. Reminds me of a political movement I was involved in when I was younger: Yellow Front. The premise was simple: “Yellow Front hates everyone equally, especially Yellow Front.”

      We’d show up to demos protesting the very existence of Yellow Front, demanding we be outlawed.

        I like the meta of it. We should take a look at ourselves a little more critically. Mad respect for the movement.

          The great thing about Yellow Front is that it’s a natural stand alone complex, much like Anonymous. After all, Yellow Front would be the last people to gate-keep perfectly justifiable hatred of Yellow Front. Similarly, any demonstration can be a demonstration against the existence of Yellow Front. The relevance in context is - naturally - considered utterly irrelevant by Yellow Front.

          (Yeah, we managed to confuse a fair amount of people, although I’ll admit FEMEN have got us beat on that score and also generally have a better assortment of tits on display, although I’ve never quite managed to figure out why despite serveral good-faith efforts. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. I don’t even care what they’re protesting. By all means, FEMEN, whatever it is, please protest it some more, and preferably in my general direction.)
