Is it USA-centric of me to suspect that most of Anonymous is located in America, and therefore limited effect is demonstrated by arrests internationally?
Honest question.
- mark_integerdsv 15y agoYes. I think it is USA-centric of you but the question is still interesting, mainly due to the semantic ambiguity that exists in the phrase: "...most of Anonymous." What I mean is: are we speaking about most vocal; most materially active in terms of actual exploits or do we mean most of the cannon-fodder? (...of which there is plenty due to the brilliance of the decentralized model of organization.) ...I think you'll find that most of the meaningful work is coming out of Europe while most of the interference is being run by lesser skilled, less committed pockets of individuals all over the world. I really have no idea though - consider these words as nothing more than an outsiders impression that happens to run counter to yours.
- modeless 15y agoI was surprised on a recent trip to Europe to see evidence of Anonymous and the Occupy movement everywhere I traveled, from the large encampments at Occupy London and Zurich to random street graffiti in Cologne and Salzburg (we are legion, expect us, that sort of thing).
