The Indymedia Experience

I’ve been working on a little “research” project, checking out the network of Indymedia sites to get a better feel for what the statists are thinking these days. In order to find out exactly what's going on in those greasy little heads of theirs, I decided to post some "articles", and see what kind of response they'd get. I’ve included links to some of my antics below for you to enjoy… if they’re still there:

  • San Diego Indymedia - Progressives Against Progress Protest Proposal (Phew!) Scroll down.
  • LA Indymedia "hidden posts" page – basically an entire page of their site devoted to my efforts.
  • SF Bay Indymedia - The article I sort’a borrowed & fixed a little bit. The Spanish at the bottom says "[long] live the low-price revolution!"
  • Kansas City Indymedia - This one was funny, until it got serious
  • Pittsburgh Indymedia - The infamous Greenpeace “solar-powered” ark
  • Atlanta Indymedia - My personal favorite here. (It's in response to a "call for action", so you may want to take a look at that first.)

I’d encourage you to occasionally add your voice to the mix on your local (or not-so-local) Indymedia site, but be sure not to be a jerk about it. Play by the rules they’ve set, usually listed in the “About Us” section. That way, if they bitch or take your posts down, you’ll have a good reason to get loud & make everybody else on their site see what happens when “democracy” replaces the rule of law. ;)

(…or the rule of rule, I guess, for us anarcho-capitalists, but that just seems so confusing to write)
