'Anonymous' says anonymous KKK dump wasn't from Anonymous The plan to out members of the Ku Klux Klan hatched by persons using the name and iconography of online activist collective “Anonymous” (PUTNAIOOACA) isn't going well. As we reported last week, PUTNAIOOACA peeps posted a Pastebin page in which they threatened to expose members of the KKK. Just such a list has since appeared, …
"Just such a list has since appeared, but we shan't link to it mentions elected officials whose lawyers we'd rather avoid."
So you're not scared of Apple... like only the most, or second most (depending on whose figures you believe on a particular milisecond) powerful company in the world.
You're scared of Creedy's black bag, aren't you!!! And I thought El Reg was kink friendly. Pah!
"I'm confused if it wasn't anonymous then surely they know who it was?"
Someone doesn't grasp the amorphous blob topology that forms Anonymous. Anon doesn't have a formal body; it's a title that can be co-opted by anyone that feels the need which is both its greatest strength and it's greatest weakness.
'Anonymous' greatest strength is in numbers, they know where you live, they live where you live. It creates an effective fog for political activism because any one at any time can either be 'Anonymous' or not. So people are invited to anonymously join any 'Anonymous' action by direct independent involvement in what ever way they see fit whether individually or as existing groups.
This cooperative action being temporary and aligned around what ever political activist action, so rather than joining a falsely claimed anonymous group, you simply directly participate in what way you deem appropriate and proclaim that action as an action of 'Anonymous'.
Everyone can play, be it governments or companies just don't expect every one or any one to support that particular action. It all helps to obfuscate who is and is not anonymous and deflect conspiracy charges. Let your own conscience dictate the appropriate cause and the appropriate action to donate to humanity under the guise of 'Anonymous'.
'Anonymous', the people with no names, the people with no faces, the invisible people, the majority.
We have people here posting anonymously about the pseudonymous anonymous not synonymous with anonymous. I may be oblivious, but the pseudonymous anonymous must be synonymous with anonymous since anonymous is synonymous with all that is anonymous their manifesto makes this obvious.
Posted pseudonymously anonymous as I am not synonymous with anonymous. That much should be obvious unless you are oblivious or unconcious.
"Or Sir Humprey-speak."
I was reading it to the tune of The Major Generals Song. Switching on the Youtube auto generated subtitles is hilarious!
Surely someone in Anonymous-land sees the spectacular irony of a group, which identifies itself by its members' anonymity, organising a lynch mob by outing people who wish to remain (you guessed it!) anonymous for the purpose of organising lynch mobs against people they do not like.
Straw man argument those stating why anon is hypocritically anon while they dox others. They are outing the powerful who have a tendency to ruin lives with their decisions. The hackers themselves may just be kids, or younger people with a sense of social justice whose lives could be irrevocably ruined by the influential people who have the resources to make their lives a living hell. Anonymity gives levels that playing field. Consider also this. If Batman was real, you think knowing he was Bruce Wayne would make him scary? His whole schtick lies in the mystery of who/what he is. We as the reader know the score, but if one reads the comics and his portrayal he is seen as demonic, a bat creature, and even among his peers who some know who he is a scary dude. It is their anon that makes them formidable. And against the powerful, that means something. When they know who you are their reach is considerable. I am not necessarily in agreement with their methods, but I get the why behind it and why it works so well.
> "They are outing the powerful who have a tendency to ruin lives with their decisions."
Not quite. They may be "outing the powerful," or they may be smearing politically incorrect enemies who have no connection to the KKK. But hey, it's the seriousness of the charge that matters!
So, let me get this straight: a group of out of work millennials that play video games all day and hack into people's email accounts claims through their very childish Saw-like recruitment videos on youtube that THEY are not an organization, but THEY are everyone (a movement?) says that the group claiming to be 'Anonymous' that is hyping up the KKK dump IS NOT really 'Anonymous'? How can they say that, when by their own claim that 'Anonymous' is everyone? lol!
Anonymous make no sense. They post profligate videos on YouTube proclaiming to be against the NWO / secret government, yet their actions are aligned with and enforce the globalist agenda. Their supposedly superior moral judgement appears to be the same globalist mindset with which the elite have been brainwashing the masses for generations. If anyone needs to be "exposed" for having an opinion then you don't have a free society.
Why "expose" a powerless group that harms nobody (they would be outlawed it they promoted violence) and just stages a few protests / rallies? Surely Anonymous must know it's not "white people" who run the world? Despite being the majority in the USA for centuries, laws are only ever passed to discriminate against "white people" and favour certain other peoples. The only racially discriminating laws in the USA are those granting special rights to first-nation peoples, and laws granting academic privileges to certain groups by racial origin instead of socio-economic status. "White people" are among the most under privileged people in the eyes of the law and those who attempt to redefine America's values. It's hardly surprising that some people, particularly those from less privileged backgrounds might want to join or support a rights group to represent their interests.
