What is Steal This Net?
Steal This Net is a tribute to Abbie Hoffman; author of Steal This Book, anti-war activist, and all-round, good ole fashioned revolutionary. This site intends to continue Hoffman’s work, and the work of other past (and passed) counter-culturalists, who have dedicated themselves to preserving The Enlightenment and the principles and advancements that era inspired.
What Are The Goals?
Our goals are to cooperate with one another to continue the work of previous anti-Establishment thinkers. Every great leap in human history was propelled by a motley crew of individuals who sought revolutionary change of their current environments. These changes were often at the expense of the ruling class, who used brutal tactics to suppress those movements and maintain the failing status quo.
Do My Personal Goals Align?
We certainly hope so. Do you believe in using reason to discover truth? Does promoting ideals like liberty, progress, tolerance, separation of church and state appeal to you? If you enjoy humanism, and the questioning of authority to advocate for freedom, peace, and harmony, then there’s a great chance that you will find a home of like-minded individuals here at Steal This Net.
Why Should I Participate?
Nothing great was ever achieved by one individual alone. Community is the core principle of civilization and all human society, and we cannot continue to sit idly by as The Establishment continues to divide us, using techniques that have always maintained their power at the expense of the people they claim to protect. Ten minutes of your day can lead to a generation’s worth of change.
How Can I Get Involved?
We’re looking for Activists, Correspondents, and Producers. Activists are the folks who make signs, participate in marches, and post on social media about issues they find important. Correspondents cover the stories about the Activists, and Producers present that information in a narrative that encapsulates the objectives of this website. Emails are at the bottom of the page.
