I'm really tired of the people shouting "THIS TIME Anonymous took it too far!". It reminds me of an interview with Jon Stewart where he talked about people telling him (paraphrasing): "I really like your comedy, but then you talked about global warming and that's a really serious issue, so now I don't like you anymore".
Look. "Anonymous" is a like force of nature. It is simply the current collection of idiots with an axe to grind attacking whatever seems cool and sensationalist. Some of them have skills, some of them don't. Most of the time, what they do is childish. What they don't have is an agenda that you could argue with.
Yelling at them whenever they're on the part of your lawn that you care about makes about as much sense as yelling at the rain for making the part of your lawn wet that might rot from it. (Wow, that sure makes a contender for todays price for most quickly tortured metaphor.)
The reason why "Anonymous does X"? "Because X is possible". Nothing more and nothing less.
- TrevorJ 14y agoYou can state that something has been taken too far without the expectation that that sentiment will change anything. Those are two separate issues. I think it is perfectly reasonable to say that the risk/reward ratio here is quite a bit different than many of Anon's previous targets. As much as we deride North Korea's military ability, they still have the potential to inflict a great deal of harm to a large number of people. That risk hasn't really been present to this level in many of the things Anon has been involved in before as far as I know.
