    As much and as little that anonymous means, because of the name, because of what the name implies, because of what they do, claim they do, and well, we don’t know what they do… As much as all of that is true, it’s AWESOME to hear from them again, if it is them…

    I can’t wait to see “real” anonymous actions again, lord knows we can use it

      Genuine question, was it ever anything more than a bunch of 4chaners and script kiddies?

    This is kinda what trump wants. If the government cant handle “online stuff” they can pitch privatization. It hurts more if tech megacorps get hacked. Though at this point I wou’d laugh if a bunch of internet nerds got the nuclear codes or locked up a bunch of satellites

      It kind of already is privatized. Most of the government’s cyber security efforts are handled by defense contractors.

    Anonymous, if you are going to do it, PLEASE make sure to leave the innocent people alone and go after the rich assholes that are doing this.

    Other than that, here’s my axe, go wild

    Anytime I see something about “Anonymous” I just assume it’s some kind of fed psyop until proven otherwise.

      So you’ll go to your grave believing it because all the proof in the world will just be fake news

        In this case? Yeah, probably. If there was proof of their identity they would no longer be anonymous, would they?

        It’s a much more reasonable assumption than how your lot assumes anyone who disagrees with you for any reason is a Russian bot, and can’t be convinced by any amount of proof otherwise.

          I mean at least you’re leaning into the conservative conspiracy hole instead of pretending you’re not in it, so bonus points for honesty.

          I’ve also never accused random posters of being Russian trolls/bots, so fewer points for that.

            Lmao, “conservative conspiracy hole.” I guess “being suspicious of anonymous sources” makes me a conservative conspiracy theorist, somehow 🤣

            This is just basic critical thinking lol.

              “This thing I don’t understand is a government psyop and I will refuse to believe any evidence to the contrary”

              That’s literally Maga 101 you can’t be surprised I called a spade a spade. Plus I just happe to know you’re already conservative from your other posts so it’s just more evidence to back it up.

                This thing I don’t understand

                What don’t I understand about it?

                I will refuse to believe any evidence to the contrary

                There is no evidence to the contrary. The only way there could be would be if they got caught.

                Plus I just happe to know you’re already conservative from your other posts so it’s just more evidence to back it up.

                Lmao of course you do.

                As I always say, “If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.” Please cite any evidence at all that I’m conservative.

                I apologize for my mistake earlier, when I said my suspicions about Anonymous were more reasonable than your belief that I’m a Russian bot, what I should’ve said is that they’re more reasonable than your baseless and unfalsifiable belief that I’m secretly a conservative. Huge difference.

    “America is becoming fascist” makes me cringe.

    It cannon become something that it has been for a long time. US was fascist under Clinton, Bush, Obama, first Trump admin, Biden and it keeps on the same track now. It’s less than useless rallying cry when US foreing policy alone in the past 70 years is a realworld example of the thought experiment of “what would have happened if nazi-germany had won WW2”. Genocide, war, coup, and dictatorship galore committed by the United States, especially after the 80s.

    In the end what this narrative is about is that precarious middle class liberals fear that even more of the practices that US has been spreading around the world are now coming home and now the US government will gut it’s own people instead of some foreigners. Even this isn’t unprecedented and at worst Trump can only make things worse for some, but for many what they fear is already reality.

    Makes me really think if this “Anonymous cell” has any real grass-roots basis or if it’s just the same coup-mongers hiding behind thin leftist veneer to just jump against Trump, who they see as destructive loose cannon to their operations, not as an real opponent. Nothing new for Anonymous name being used in this way btw. Where were they under Biden?

    If they actually gave a shit about spreading awareness, they’d find a way to get that video on Fox News, OANN, etc
