Disgruntled Anonymous Faction Maliciously Attacks Anonymous

[ecyor0]

Eh, let them tear each other to pieces. The world will be a better place once the dust settles

Guys, pass me some of that popcorn, will you?

Oh the drama. How I love it.

AnonOps wasn't a hierarchy, it was a way to organize attacks. By exposing the identities of the people involved in these attacks, Ryan (which is not an Anonymous title) has betrayed the core principle of Anonymous.

Not one of the core principles. The only core principle. Remain Anonymous in your operations, whatever they are.

as others have said, they dont want anonymity, they just dont want to be responsible for their actions. If they actually wanted to be anonymous they wouldn't claim to be part of a group with a name, identity, and freakin website

I can just see Michael Moore making a documentary out of this one day. Won't that be special.

 

[Uber Evil]

I guess you can say Anonymous...
*slips on shades*
doesn't know who it is anymore...

This is by and far the best one of these I have seen.
OT: I'm interested in seeing where this goes, but not to a major extent.

 

[Jubbert]

Good news for the federal government.

I think that you should understand what anon really is, it is simply a LEGION in it's serch for lulz, and nothing else.
get over it

This sounds like the setup to a face to face showdown and the most dramatic nerd slap-fight in history. Of course this all goes to prove a point: you can't have this amount of power gathered into a group and not expect leadership to enter into power.

While I think busting up the moralfagging is hilarious, this "Ryan" is clearly namefagging, which is just as bad, if not worse.

 

[Logic 0]

Internet civil war ... this should be interesting.

 

[elilupe]

And so the great Anonymous schism begins.

 

[Wisefox]

"Anon used Nasty Plot! It hurt itself in its confusion!"

Really though, I'm surprised something like this didn't happen much sooner. I mean, this it Anonymous we're talking about.

"Anonymous has no central leadership you could arrest. Its just a completely democratic group with no structure"- Hundreds of posts on any thread about Anon.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Atomic Skull]

HAH! I totally saw this coming...

That's because you're thinking of anon as a single organization. It's not. It's an amalgam of hackers and script kiddies. Just because an anon picks up a cause it doesn't mean that he has universal, or even majority, support. In fact it's entirely possible... actually pretty likely... that different anon groups will eventually find themselves divided on an important issue and hacking in opposition to one another. And that's OK. It's all about the lulz anyway, right? Anon vs. Anon will would be a mad fun show.

Posting member IP addresses is just LOW. This Ryan guy is either one serious douche bag or a fed snitch.

Or "Ryan" doesn't actually exist. He might an identity created by the feds for the purposes of infiltrating and destabilizing Anon from the inside.

I can't imagine anyone would risk the kind of shitstorm that could come down on them for betraying anonymous like that, the whole fed operation angle is starting to look more and more likely.

 

[RDubayoo]

Oh, and another thing, I thought Anonymous didn't have centralized leadership and all that jazz? And yet this article describes a "hierarchy" being established within them, and Anonymous leaders "going rogue" and abusing roles and... you know what? I've decided that from now on I'm not going to believe a single word written by any Anonymous apologist ever again.

You don't see that's the entire point this has happened?

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that a hierarchy of leadership was created and that the Anonymous apologists weren't being honest about who and what Anonymous really was. And it may have (supposedly) been Ryan's motive for starting this civil war, but I don't think he quite gets that this hierarchy was inevitable, as was its destruction under the weight of its members' stupidity.

Or, let's try the short version: So?

 

[Necromancer1991]

Not that surprising when you get together a bunch of egotistical hackers that there would eventually be SOME friction between members *Pulls out a bag of popcorn*

 

[Eveonline100]

I feel like moviemakers should really start looking at real life when writing their scripts. One piece of news like this sparks so much more imagination then the average movie or serie.

Go make a movie out of this!

yeah playing now Hacker Wars!

 

[AmayaOnnaOtaku]

Ok for this show we need more than snacks
*sets up fully stocked bar and kitchen*

[Savber]

Someone needs to write a book about theses guys. The drama is getting good.

*grabs popcorn*
