I wonder if they're doing this for the lulz or because they actually give a damn.
Nonetheless, people really do underestimate the power of the masses. If we all bounded together, we could definitely bring down governments. Too bad a lot of people don't care.
There's this great quote from V for Vendetta that goes...
"People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."
I believe in it wholeheartedly.
