OK, I just want to temper everyone's enthusiasm with a story. A few years back a new player emerged onto Twitter. They called themselves the Intelligence Workers Union. They claimed to be a group of intel types who'd been secretly unionizing (since intel staff famously can't do so) for a year.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.
