Some of us take it to our hearts to remember one of the most influential hacktivists <3

For that matter, I’d like to share a documentary about him: https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz

You can also get to know his legacy by reading the short Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto, available here: https://openlibrary.org/books/OL25421460M/Guerilla_Open_Access_Manifesto

While I appreciate what he contributed and I’m sorry his life was cut off so soon, I think hero worship is incredibly weird.

Its more like a thanks to him,

Its more like, we don’t forget that we have to fight for our rights,

Its more like, remember, ideas without humans behind to achieve them are nothing,

Its more like, we don’t forget liberals and their shits,

Its more like, we don’t forget the culpability of the gov on his death,

Every movement has its participants and its leaders - whether they meant to be, or simply were by virtue of their actions and position. Imo, there is nothing more human than the genuine and wholesome acknowledgment of those who paved the way for us. As well as raising awareness about the negative impacts of systemic oppression.

We rely on sharing lived experiences to raise awareness: about how society needs to change, mental health issues, learning differences, diversity, and so on.

Some might be overly sensitive about such things, due to many negative cults of personality in recent times. However, don’t let those negative experiences affect the present positive one: Aaron Swartz and the negative consequences of systemic oppression.
