“The Case for Anonymity”

I don’t know if this is a particularly eloquent explanation of the importance of online communities, it focuses more on the anonymous aspects of 4chan (as well as the internet at large), which I don’t believe to be critical aspects of cultural development. It does however, outline some of the effects anonymity has on cultural generation, as well as the establishment and spread of these generated sub/counter cultural notions.

Knowledge Drop of the Day: The South Korean military dropped thousands of leaflets attached to helium balloons on their northern siblings, spreading news of the revolutions taking place in the Middle East in hopes that North Korean citizens will be encouraged to rise up against their Dear Leader.

“[A] dictatorial regime is destined to collapse,” the leaflets proclaim.
