Adopting the "worker's revolution" symbolism also seems to downplay the strengths in many cases. Groups like Anonymous or the readership of HN are far from being mobs armed with farm implements, they're the techno-elite.
Personally, I think a better sign might be the extended middle finger. :-)
Cool, thanks for that incredibly insightful observation, marshray.
The best part about your original question is that it can be answered provably in only one way — the one you want. So given your patronizing tone and thinly veiled elitism, I'll happily take the side of the argument that you would force me to prove through induction, for the simple satisfaction of calling you out.
That did occur to me after I had asked the question, but I decided that there was still a sufficient spectrum of possible answers that I should keep the wording. For example:
"No you're not, I feel that way too."
"I used to feel that way too, but then it occurred to me... [useful discussion follows]"
"Who knows? But I think you're mistaken because... [useful discussion follows]"
No answers, in which case the number of votes on the question could be significant.

Um, you're welcome?
