What are your new mechanisms for change if you won't engage with democracy?
Demo's can have an effect and it's patronising to say they've been ignored. Hunt couldn't ignore the junior doctors (without political cost) for instance. But demo's are not new. You're not occupying or closing down businesses that benefit from unjust policies. You're not informing or educating anyone.
Flash mobs? You don't effectivley utilise these (FoE did yesterday outside Barclay's branches).
Hacking?
Feeling badass in a mask?
Reenforcing some hoody stereotypes in the mind of Daily Fail readers?

QUOTE: "There are active political movements which aren't based on dressing up in silly masks and annoying people, but which actually make a difference to the political landscape." No there are not! The trade unions and the established Labour movement have failed to change anything since the Tories got re-eclected in 2010! See this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYbZbhRsKrg
Millions of people across the country have demonstrated against government austerity cuts since 2010 but have been totally ignored as the government plough on with mass privatisation and mass austerity cuts to public services! Anonymous and its more militant forms of action are the new way forward as the parties of the past have failed time and time again.
