Deterritorial Support Group: Goatse as Industrial Sabotage

This short article is not for the faint of heart. It’s not for internet dabblers, or the recently-fed. Or maybe it is- maybe this article will give some insight into the world of the digital natives. It aims to shed light on an internet phenomenon, in turn giving the shadow, depth and form of class-struggle to what might, on first appearances, seem like a decidedly two-dimensional case study. Here, we wish to talk about a meme called Goatse, and the story of how a revolting and childish prank spread to become a modern-day “sabot”, a memetic tool for workers to undermine their employers, and with it, the ideology of work.

Chaos and the Internet

Puzzling evidence from the internet,

I’ve received a bit of spam on catpaint.info, but it’s easy to filter out because I have wordpress set to require approval for comments. Usually it’s something like this:

189urfskhfsd kfjhasd jkfdsal 9wrifn,x ufias http://hfksahlf.nu/ sfkjhda3 u30jd 8fjajk!

But today I got a new and weird comment in the approval queue,

It reads like obscure technical jargon, makes no sense, and it features not one, but four links (astrophysics at berkley, temperature sensors, GPS software, and a cement manufacturer).

…And the entropy of the universe increased ever so slightly.

P.s. hfksahlf.nu, a randomly typed string of characters, is actually a registered domain. I rest my case.
