The Yes Men group instantly reminded me of the movie Fight Club. Mostly because the whole point of The Yes Men is to expose the ethical, political, capitol issues of large corporations and their wrongdoings.
My personal feelings towards the website and their activism is still forming. I feel for what they do - calling out big names and people for justice but also think it can be done only in moderation before The Yes Men my lose sight of their initial mission.
I also strongly believe that while the big CEOs should be extorted, The Yes Men do have a responsibility to not make false promises to others in retribution. Which with the line of work that they are in, is hard not to bring in the third party. Finally, I also personally think that as a society, country, citizens, we are to blame too. Society makes up the body that created these institutions, corporations, and oligopolies. And we are also the ones that feed and fuel these bodies of businesses, whether it be invested stocks or sitting behind a desk crunching numbers.
So I would say before retaliating against them, we should all take a good look at us
