Anytime I see something about "Anonymous" I just assume it's some kind of fed psyop until proven otherwise.

I will believe it when I see it this is likely just talk.

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

Go vandalize Tom Tillis' website. That'll be your first test.

Aren’t they kind of notorious for empty promises?

[–] semperverus 27 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

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.

Sounds like ISIS. Lots of people claiming to be members.

Getting attention is a big part of it

Hacker fashion tip: while wearing your guy fox mask, match it with a Luigi hat.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The Guy Faux mask is so 2005.

I don't know if you guys are on purpose but it's Fawkes. It would be amazing if three people really had different spellings of the same Guy..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I think the guy you're thinking of Fox Mulder

Can they do something useful like destroy the debt infrastructure and delete all student loans and medical bills?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

SpoilerYou've been watching too much Mr. Robot.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

Tap for spoiler

Or fight club

A more useful thing would be to do as much damage to Twitter as possible. In fact, why they haven't attacked Twitter while Musk has been disarming all of its safety protocols is fucking beyond me.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Attacking twitter would be more useful than deleting all debt? I mean go wild, take that shit ass site down but if you had a "delete twitter" button and a "delete all debt" button, mashing the second one would make you the greatest hero who ever lived.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Debt is monitored/store by many different companies

Even if you took down all data of x health insurance company it would still exist in other places

So I would say that it poses a bigger challenge and you would have to do it at roughly the same time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Sure. Yeah its very hypothetical and silly. As if the Banks that manage national and international money supplies, since most of their managed assets are debt, haven't thought of it? So no such button exists, whereas there might be a delete twitter button somewhere or one could be rigged up 👀

You're right, What if they publish cheat codes for all Steam games, thus freeing humanity from corporate exploitation???!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Is such a utopia possible?

[–] LovableSidekick 1 points 5 hours ago

If enough freedom fighters have the guts to post enough memes, there's no limit to what we can achieve.

[–] Freefall 41 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Anonymous tends to not do useful things. They just talk a lot.

[–] andros_rex 26 points 17 hours ago

“Anonymous” isn’t like a formal group. The entire point is that anyone can say that they are anonymous. So yeah, people talk a lot. You can do whatever you like as anonymous.

Just brush the Funyun crumbs off of your shirt before starting.

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.

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 7 hours ago

It's from the 1982 film Airplane 2: the Sequel. Nowhere near as funny as the original, but still very funny.
