C'mon dude. You're trying to make the case that the 99% have a common interest and you're worried about getting the "overlords attention" and making excuses for not gaining the consensus when you think 99% of people should be on your side. The attention you get from the rest of the 99% will be much more valuable than the attention of the 1% who already know you as an enemy, and you're more likely to get negative attention from the 99% by blocking 100% of the traffic. Really, there's no straight line from these tactics to achieving the goals.

People in the same breath, complain about how much money is involved in political campaigns, and turn around and say that voting doesn't do anything. If it didn't, why are we looking at such huge numbers in campaign funding? Why spend any money on it if the system is rigged? Obviously someone has an interest in influencing the electorate if they are spending that much money on it. So we better do our job influencing it ourselves, and not make excuses for not doing so.
