Disgruntled Anonymous Faction Maliciously Attacks Anonymous

[kannibus]

Civil War AHOY!

Knew this would happen: As soon as Anon began forming a single identity with their press releases etc it became clear that the whole point of Anonymous was being destroyed.

Though as some of the members have had their name mentioned then are they credible either now?

It will be interesting to see what happens next between these parties.Maybe they could have an Online Deathmatch on their hacked PSN servers. /sarcasm

If this group really consists of the best hackers in the world, then this shit could get really bad really fast and not for them but for us the everyman (and everywoman)because even I with my limited knowledge abot hacking and the hacking community can think of several ways how this could bite us from our virtual asses.

 

[CommanderKirov]

This should be entertaining.

It's like fire fighting itself with more fire.

And everything will be covered in blaze of flames... AND THE WORLD SHALL BE CLEANSED AND FROM IT NEW EMPIRE SHALL ARISE!

A STRONG EMPIRE! OF CRAB PEOPLE!

"The only way to make things safe is to make users aware how insecure it is," claims Ryan thinq_ [//www.thinq.co.uk/2011/5/9/exclusive-anonops-splinter-group-speaks-out/]

So basically, we're all sat down eating our popcorn to a rerun of Die Hard 4.

Yes YESSSSS dance for our amusement Anonymous.

People seem to be unaware that Anonymous has suffered from civil war before [http://boxxystory.blogspot.com/2009/01/rise-of-boxxy.html], and the last time lasted about 1-2 years. However, this was before various Anons were wanted individuals. So we'll see how quickly this conflict is crushed now the stakes are so high.

I guess that serves me right for not researching neck-beard history before opening my mouth. I was under the impression they were just calling each other names about some girl in makeup though.

That's exactly what happened, it started out just that stupid. Unfortunately, Anonymous' trolling nature simply caused it to snowball.

Plus, what are you implying? Are saying you don't care about the history of the basement dwelling neck-beards? What is this madness?!

 

[Shjade]

Sorta surprised it took this long, really.

 

[cookyy2k]

Theres a good story to be written here...
I mean we'll need to exaggerate a tad, a few gun-fights maybe a car chase or two, but still an interesting story.

Or just do it "tron" style. That'd be the way to get the most action in it and not loose too many who have no idea about the whole thing.

I think this could get out of hand with us all being potential collateral... I mean us sat here discussing it is kinda something to draw attention to ourselves.

Hopefully they'll just fragment because this is every anon "member" vs the rest of anon since no one knows eachother or the alegences (in theory).

This was kind of bound to happen...
I'm not a fan of anonymous, but I do feel bad for all those random (possibly innocent) anonymous members.

See, the whole concept of Anonymous is pretty messed up. They want an amorphous blob of an entity with no rules, no hierarchy, no organization. They want to be a concept, not a tangible thing. And yet they fight each other over what being "anonymous" means or whatever, and as soon as an operation goes down it becomes a group. Anonymous wants to try to have their cake and eat it to, but I can't really see Anonymous winning out in the end.

 

[Venereus]

Organizations (and make no mistake, Anon is in fact an organization) evolve over time. The development of some sort of leadership is only natural. Going against it is fighting a losing battle.

It's not that messed up. If posmodernism is right, that's kind of the way for future forms of organization. Lacking an ideology to follow, common ground among self-interested people is all you got. And you can't expect stability from that.

 

[Low Key]

Well, this won't end well. The power of a mob can be strong, but this is what happens when you rely on someone unknown.

Well some anon will have to win, considereing it's anon vs anon.

But I do not get the fuss. Just ask the Almighty Moot for advice.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Anons... are members of Anonymous?
Sorry if I'm not into hacker lingo

 

[Irish Soulface]

trolls trolling trolls over who to troll

 

[etherlance]

The way this is going, it sounds like a rebel faction trying to take down the leader of their country, only for one of the rebel leaders to go rogue.


I'm staying well away from this but I'm grabbing some popcorn and watching the fireworks from a safe distance.

 

[Azaraxzealot]

HA!
really, that's all i can say.
can't help but laugh.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

Guys its ok, I've sourced us a popcorn maker, Popcorn for all!

Thanks, mate!
*Quietly takes her seat with the other popcorn eaters*

This sounds like the plot to a sci-fi novel.
