Now think what could have happened if someone besides Anonymous did the same thing. It would be far more likely that they would have used the information for their own benefit.<br /><br />Occupy protests- Mainly to display how corrupt the country when police forces come out and brutally deny the people the right of speech and to organize. A popular image of such is a policeman pepper spraying a group of peaceful protestors sitting on a sidewalk. They sat and accepted it with no violence, but still refused to move. This shows that they truely believe in what they are standing up for and are willing to go to an extent of putting themselves at risk to support their cause. Don't you wish there were more people like that who would support our government's side now as we know it? Anonymous is trying to make that possible. <br /><br />Not to mention that they have hacked and shut down countless websites relating to child pornography and illegal music downloading. <br /><br />They also scan trials of people, and when they see someone who was wrongfully judged (EX- 7 police officers beat a defenseless homeless man to death for no relavent reason, 4 triald and all judged innocent) they let the word out and allow the poeple to decide themselves whether it wqas right or wrong- hence the part of they're slogan where they say they do not forgive and do not forget. <br /><br />They have targeted a person that bullyied a highschool girl into suicide and allowed the people to take act accordingly. <br /><br />So in the government's eyes, yes, they are illegal because they are a threat to them and the money they wrongfully took from government. But the point of Anonymous is to give back power to the people, so the reality of it is that you decide wheather its right or wrong. Either way, Anonymous will still exist and fight for the innocent and those left without word in government anymore, leading a relovution into the new world. <br /><br />Think of the revolutionary war, The bravest men organized and did illegal things to gain their independence back from britain that they had wrongfully taken. Anonymous is the modern day revolution, a group of people with a cause doing what they believe is right (even if it is deemed illegal by government) to give people freedom that has been taken from them. <br /><br />The majority doesn't want anarchy, they want a government that is fair and powered by the people, not over budgeted politicians. <br /><br />This is just to let you know what I know. Hope this helps in any of your research on the subject.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35783026.post-54096460615187821222014-01-21T18:44:30.562-08:002014-01-21T18:44:30.562-08:00There are only a few of people in Anonymous that a...There are only a few of people in Anonymous that are total anarchists, it's just that that is the steriotype of the group because of few actions done by the lower, less-trained fraction of the group. It's even wrong to call it a group because it's not even organized. Anyone who hacks for the cause or is a supporter is allowed to dubbed "anonymous". You don't even need a mask, but the political figure gives a sense of leadership and a feeling that they are led by this figure, but in reality its just the true thoughts and words of all the people of the group. There is a higher group called "Anonymous Elite" where the top hackers organize and put out the most important and moving actions and messages, but they only speak occasionally. <br /><br />So in reality, Anonymous is more of a democracy than our current government. <br /><br />And if you really research into what they do as a whole, they actually bring out the flaws of government that nobody wants to admit to. And things may get out of hands by few individuals, but that is simple human nature when they take part in occupying or other forms of protests, and is to be expected. A completely peaceful protest simply would not diliver the same message. The people take this risk by participating, but normally, it is the government force that acts first, but censorship monopolizes the situation in favor of the government so that it seems that the protestors are to be the ones to be looked down upon. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
