Re: Anonymous declaring war on ISIS

[oats]

respect, @sraL. do you think Anonymous has the ability to hack into ISIS shit, though? The few articles I read (New Yorker one got me google voyaging) seem to think that very few in Anonymous are skilled hackers.

Yeah, the thing many people forget (or don't know) is that ''Anonymous'' can be anyone and isn't exclusively hackers. The anonymous is simply that: anonymous people regardless of background with different skillsets, views and opinions that aren't tied to anything. No name or anything tied to you that you identify with such as a username etc. On 4chan, even though discussions (even intelligent ones at times) occur having a registered username (yes, it's possible to register a username on 4chan) is looked down upon because with it you kind of ruin the essence of raw conversation with nothing to draw the attention away from the subject and exactly what the messages in the replies on the site are for. Nothing to tie earlier arguments with that and that person as each debate/conversation is for the most part completely fresh from start to finish.

The anonymous is more likely to be me, your neighbor or someone else on this site than some coder that wants to fuck shit up for ISIS and cause chaos for the fun of it in a Comedian from The Watchmen's type of way. They exist, but ye it isn't as cyber, deep and secret as they try to make it. It's just an ideology of society and with many interpretations as well, don't take what I've said at face value either btw. But ye, this is mainly the gist of it.

And if you find technology, the internet and secret underground communities really interesting I'd highly advise you to read about this yearly puzzle to weed out the weaker unintelligent people and find certain highly intelligent people for a cause people know very little about as well. You don't have to understand too much technology to get what the article talks/is about, enjoy: http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/...stery-20150115
