All rebellion is fake

You don't get it: you can't rebel against the rebellion, which is why it is designed as it is.

Starting in 1789 with the French Revolution, liberalism has sided with permissiveness/narcissism/anarchy over any kind of shared rules or values.

It does this because when you accept everything, you can never be a target... you are the invisible government.

Protesting against it does its dirty work -- increasing the instability and distrust, while strengthening the government that's supposed to (???) apply justice.

When [script kiddie group "Anonymous"] members appear in public to protest censorship and what they view as corruption, they don a plastic mask of Guy Fawkes, the 17th-century Englishman who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

Stark white, with blushed pink cheeks, a wide grin and a thin black mustache and goatee, the mask resonates with the hackers because it was worn by a rogue anarchist challenging an authoritarian government in “V for Vendetta,” the movie produced in 2006 by Warner Brothers.

What few people seem to know, though, is that Time Warner, one of the largest media companies in the world and parent of Warner Brothers, owns the rights to the image and is paid a licensing fee with the sale of each mask. - NYT

Bought and sold, my little rebels. Bought and sold.

The correct way to rebel against this system is simple:

Insist on functionality according to (a) shared reality, "objectivity" and (b) shared values/standards/beliefs, "subjective"/culture/a preference (as Nietzsche noted).
