Okay, first of all, the motive. The idea that there are bankers lighting off 100 dollar notes and laughing at the suffering of the poor is, to put it bluntly, glue sniffingly retarded. It is a characature of the real problems that face society and it has about as much depth as a captain planet villain. I may sound like a bit of a broken record when I say this, but people are not comic book villains and the only way to engender any sort of progress is to understand where every party is coming from. Is there a problem with greed, yes, should there be greater regulation of the financial market, probably, but does that mean that 'the banks' that immaginairy hegemony so beloved by the anti-capitalist crowd are being run by snidely whiplash? No it does not.
Secondly, the continued assumption that anon's behalf that they speak for the internet. I don't know about you, but I find it more than a little silly that this is apparently supposed to be a protest about the nameless, faceless organisations that run parts of our everyday lives with hyperbolic speeches about enemies that are blown way out of proportion while congratulating themselves with how only they understand 'the people' and doing grand gestures that hurt only their cause and the people they claim to stand for..... or was that a protest performed by a nameless, faceless organisation that wants to run a part of our everyday lives with hyperbolic speeches about enemies that are blown way out of proportion while congratulating themselves with how only they understand 'the people' and doing grand gestures that hurt only their cause and the people they claim to stand for? I always get those two mixed up.
The internet is just like any other community, in that we do not agree on anything, but people will still try and brand us with specific ideologies.

Well assuming there is actually going to be a internet wide state of emergency.
