Blogs/Twitter/Facebook Used to Resist a Totalitarian State?
In a world full of media like the one we live in now it would not be hard to be able to resist a totalitarian state using the internet. On a website like Facebook where the number of users increases daily by thousands it would not be all that hard to start a group to see how many people would be willing to start a movement against Totalitarian States. Nations that are not controlled by Totalitarian governments would be able to use these websites to find people who also agree that Totalitarianism should be stopped. People that live IN countries controlled by Totalitarianism can use this media as a way to get their message out that they need help. Most of their life will most likely be controlled but writing on the internet can most likely not be stopped if using it at home. They would be able to send out awareness about the life they have to endure. By writing the things they have to live with on a public internet website anyone would be able to come across it and read it. That person could possibly want to help and could set up rallies and things to be able to fight it. Another major way that the media could be used to resist Totalitarianism is by finding other people online who feel the same way about it as you feel. By finding people who have the same common interests as you regarding this subject, you could be able to start a protest against the specific Totalitarian Leader that you have in mind. It is with small steps that you will be able to accomplish what you need. The media helps you to do this.
