Creative Action Against the War

by Dave Gross
Chanting and carrying signs can seem useless, direct confrontation quixotic. What's left? The creative monkeywrenching outlined at sniggle.net.

Remember the Barbie Liberation Organization? How about Veterans of Future Wars or the John Poindexter Awareness Office?

Otpor took down the government of Slobodan Milosevic, and The Civil Society Collective did the same in Fujimori's Peru.

What do these groups have in common? They used creative, theatrical, novel and effective methods of protest that put to shame all the "hey hey, ho ho"s of easily-ignored megamarches.

The website sniggle.net is a relentless encyclopedia of examples of Guerrilla Hacks and Hacktivism.

It's free of charge and ad-free, and is designed to help potential hactivists and culture jammers learn from each other and plot their next moves.

We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
