If we are talking about anonymous sometime.pre-occupy wall street, I'm all for it. A random idiotic 4chan based group bent on doing random stupid **** with your random side of internet vigilante justice with no clear goal besides "CATS WOOOOOOOO".

Occupy wall street to current...utter garbage. Politically biased, SJW infested, lean green meme machine with a side of cringe,etc etc.

There's a reason the home of anonymous has rejected the " group".

I actually like and dislike them in the same time. I am not a fan of hacking and their ideology isn't clear and nither are their origins but it seems that after confusing start they have done some really good things (fighting against child pornography, terorists...) but the main reason I like em is that they are not scared to fight vs govrement and they fight vs the sistem.

That's the problem with any anonymous group - there's no real accountability, so if someone wants to moonlight as that group, it's hard to tell the difference. It's easy enough to tell that they're wanting to inspire change, but how much is yet to be known.

Anonymous is sounding off the new Renaissance era this year for humanity.

Speculation: Anonymous is not as much a group as it is a movement. There may be a few people at the core who do targeted attacks, but they do try to inspire social movement for the better of humanity, it seems. It's easier to identify yourself as an Anonymous member if you can subscribe to the same sort of ideals and actions as they do. Trying to find them would be near impossible. Eventually they'll have some sort of break out this year (or so they say), in which they may try to get as many people on as they can. God knows we need it in the world with all the political and social corruption, but who knows how much destruction it would cause in its wake.

I feel like they should hack the right websites. Wish they would start hacking the hell out of my country's government.

Anonymous was pretty much born out of the desire to pursue teh lulz. Yes, they sometimes do things for legitimately good causes, but we're talking about a group whose beginnings can be traced back to 4chan and /b/. They cause more chaos than anything else...that being said, I'm all for them, I'm not going to pretend what they do isn't funny.

They didn't start the revolution. They did conduct a few DDoS attacks on Tunisian government sites after violence had already broken out though. The revolution was an Arab Spring thing, the Tunisian people started it.

They are very brave,even with the top tech America has they still don't know who is Anonymous,though hacking should not be a way so I suggest they should do like posters,graffiti and online messages

This sort of thought process is what I detest about the recent actions of 'anonymouse'. They shouldn't be involved in anything poltical, ESPECIALLY given that they are supposed to represent the freedom of speech and thought we are all allowed. To assume an idealogue alignment it takes all of that away.

I didn't say they singularly caused the revolution. I said that they 'helped'. Because they did.

Eh, you said that they "helped start" it. And they didn't. They helped a little after it had already started.

They did help.

I don't think you understand my argument here. I never claimed that they didn't help. I'm saying all their help occurred AFTER the revolution was under way; they played no part in STARTING the conflict. I'm familiar with Operation Tunisia; can you specifically point to anything Anonymous did that would indicate that they helped START the violence?
