Literally cannot stop thinking about this.


i am astonished to see the amount of hate on the movies thread. i guess people are so disconnected nowadays that it just doesnt matter anymore.

i am not a huge Aaron Swartz fan, i barely knew anything before i saw this movie. say what you will about his political points of view but this man did not deserve this.

we may never know if he had a dark past or if he had suicidal tendencies from a young age. but there is something wrong with the world and we do not see it. only when it happens to YOU do we see clearly. i believe Aaron saw this, maybe he was a coward, maybe he thought that his death would be something that would make people see what he saw. these are things we will never know. but what i am really sure of is that we lost a GEM. a real gem, and no one can deny that.

it is easy to say he was a "liberal" or a "coward" that gave up. hey, walk a mile in someones shoes first. words are easy to write and say while you are on your high horse.

this movie to me was not about political points of view, nor the genius of Aaron. it was about a human being. real crimes happen everyday. this bullcrap about making an example of someones is just a pissing contest. and it makes me sick. we get brilliant minds more now than often just because population grows more and more. but these minds we should not take for granted. this is a man who could have been a billionaire and just forget anything that was wrong with the world and just make his money and that would be it. he chose another route. i dare you to do the same!

i am no hypocrite. i aint doing nothing. but trust me, i will try.

Since when is being caled a liberal is someone hating on you. The only insult in politics is to be called a republican.

Like Aaron suggested - they're just the monkey troupe who come out to beat the dissenting individual into compliance with the status quo - conditioned reactionaries who do what they're told by the ruling classes and never dare question authority.

Without realizing it, a sad display of monkey submission and tribalism.

For what are we, other than a chatting chimp?
