    I’m old enough to remember reporters talking about Anonymous like this. Then people who had been conditioned by the war on terror wrote shitty op-eds asking if it should be a banned organisation etc.

      by now it should be clear that anyone and their mom can create an anonymous video or hide behind the label. And i pity the people who got hyped by “V for Vendetta” without the history context to actually understand what they are getting themselves involved in. i ve seen a lot of dumb anonymous bullshit so far, be it hacking state actors or making videos about the Mayan prophecy. I ignore most of it because of the ambigueities involved and the fact that they never hacked US health insurers and consultancies.
