------- Cypherpunks reject politics. They know that it is unnecessary, counter-productive, and wrong. Terrorism and violent confrontation are the ultimate form of politics. ------- Cypherpunks don't fixate on their enemies, real or imagined. Reactionary Christians do. Reactionary Muslims do. Wacko leftists do. Wacko rightists do. In fact, probably every penny-ante cult and fringe political movement does. Perhaps it makes it easier to avoid doubt by thinking and feeling about your enemies (real or imagined) in order to keep from thinking about your self. But cypherpunks don't fixate on their enemies. They have more important things to worry about. ------- Cypherpunks think strategically. Cypherpunks act strategically. -------
