Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it. The international hacker community is preparing to strike against U.S. infrastructure and calls for public awareness against incoming fascism

    Don’t need to open Twitter to watch it

    I’m also remembering an IT crowd scene where they argue about which of them is in Anonymous, and I can’t find it now. Does anyone have a link handy? Unless I am misremembering

      I don’t know if this is the point you’re making, but IIRC, they are a disorganized group, so anybody can claim to be part of them.

      My final semester in American Sign Language was “Sex, Drugs, and Profanity,” and most of the signs are just exactly what you’d guess. (I held on to those textbooks.) Plus, facial expressions are a big part of the grammar of the language. I don’t recognize this scene, but assuming it’s from a comedy - it’s probably also not far off from accurate.

    Lol this is hilarious. I don’t know which “anonymous” they spoke to, but it definitely wasn’t the actual subversionist hackers that know how to do shit.

    If you’re an American praising potential harm to America you should reexamine why you continue being a citizen here. If there are other countries more aligned with your personal morals and values please seek citizenship there.

      Sorry, you’re stuck with hoards of people our economy has made too poor to get citizenship elsewhere. Shitty country run by selfish oligarchs. 🤷

        Our country hasn’t “made them too poor for citizenship elsewhere” as millions still walk hundreds to thousands of miles to get here. Still more opportunity in the USA than anywhere else. Sure we live under an oligarchy but honestly who doesn’t?

      I am, because this government has decided the US constitution just doesn’t matter, and now, we have literal nazis running the government.

      I stand by my people, not the government oppressing them.

    Will it be like when they launched a load of DDoS attacks against Sony, of which the only impact was annoying regular people and doing nothing to the company they were supposedly going after?

      They have always been techno-punks: anti-establishment and more style than substance. That being said, if nothing else, they were able to shine a light on shitty people and that’s more than most folks do.

      I wish they were getting into organizations and dumping gigs of documents detailing illegal and anti-consumer/citizen activities, but money and law enforcement really goes after anything with an actually impact that might affect wealth. No one actually gives a shit about a website being down. (Excepting like… Amazon or Google and good fucking luck with that.)

      So it’s like a flaming bag of shit left on a porch. They take care of it and shout “you damn punks!” But if you burn the barn down, every cop in the county will be interrogating everyone they can find until you are caught.

          Thats because anonymous as people actually think about existed for a few years and all the people that did big shit left or turned fed and since then it has been mostly people using the name to get recognition.

        The final season they steal all of the money the ruling elites had been using to control the world, ending their grip on society.

        Could also be argued that the dark army did the most evil shit and the government siding with the deus group rather than taking the side of the citizens is why things spiraled after wiping out the debt history of everyone.

        Elon and the other people pulling the strings on society losing all their money would not be a bad thing for civilization at all

          It’s partly due to fsociety actions that things ended like they did. I remember it being actually worse than how it was before

      The actual anonymous group gets things done.

      How easy is it to say Anonymous said this or that? Very.

      I expect this highly political, left leaning anonymous isn’t real. It’s such BS…

      Its more of a chaos entity. Because anyone can be a part of it with literally no steps other than saying “I am Anonymous”, anyone can say or do anything. As a result, one person or group may claim Anonymous while doing a legitimate hack, while another person who is just a script kiddie won’t ever actually do anything and you get this hot and cold, will they won’t they effect as a result.

    So, they are going to hurt innocent people to save the innocent people?

    How exactly does this help us? Why attack infrastructure we need to survive? So many other targets I feel would have better results.
