Disgruntled Anonymous Faction Maliciously Attacks Anonymous

[Safaia]

Spoiler: om nom nom

More OT: This seems like the ultimate example of trolling. What happens when the uber trolls are trolled by a faction of said uber trolls.

Anonymous is the practice of mob rule writ large and in real-time. And here we see one of the primary drawbacks to mob rule: What happens when the mob isn't in lockstep?

Ugh. Anonymous has no centralised websites. Anonymous has no leaders. If a group of them have a centralised website or leader, they cease to be Anonymous. The whole point of calling it "Anonymous" is giving a name to a group that can't really rightly be called a group in any reasonable sense.

Every one of these news stories shows all over again that the writers still just don't get it.

So amorphous Anonymous is unanimous in decrying this boisterous member who is incongruous with their sanctimonious ways. But if they are so ubiquitous, certainly the group's politics won't be 100% harmonious. Sooner or later, someone would become cantankerous, rebellious, even, and revolt in a manner most ceremonious. Whatever. If they are so enormous, then some of their members are bound to be deciduous.

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.

Unlikely. The Feds wouldn't publically destroy the credibility of their mole and publically leak the IP addresses like "ryan" did. Any smart government agency (and they are smart) would have merely covertly investigated the IP's and performed arrests, and Anons would assume those guys simply screwed up and got caught. If the Fed wanted to take down AnonOps, they would have probably arrested "Owen" and other AnonOps administrators, moderators, domain name owners first, seized the domain names not under "ryan's" control, and then shut down the entire damn thing once they had the rights to all the domain names. "Ryan's" actions are too public, cause too little damage, and are far too weak to have been a government plot.

How the hell can there be "factions" within Anonymous? Nobody has any names, and factions require names and identities to be able to function. In Anonymous everyone has a faction of one - themselves. Just like in real life! When everyone is called Anonymous, you don't know who the hell you are targeting - just whether or not you agree with their actions. Classic anarchy. It's not factionalism.

There has been a rallying cry within Anonymous for a group calling themselves Magnaminous, but as soon as they become Magnaminous, they are no longer Anonymous. It's bloody stupid, ultimately self-defeating, and it's just giving the media something to actually report on, since there's nothing else to actually scare the populace with now that Osama Bin Ladin has been killed.

I think it might be too little about a month too late if they're hoping to take away any of the media attention they've got. Hopefully they'll all annoy each other rather than us until people show up to arrest them.

Bloody marvellous!


There so much drama surrounding Anonymous of late, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody decided to make a documentary about it.

brb, getting popcorn

 

[TilMorrow]

Seriously guys. I mean seriously. Am I the only one eating nachos and cheese whilst watching this? I mean popcorn is great and everything but nachos all the way. *Slurp* Well I can't wait to see how this progresses and turns out. I mean it already sounds like something big is brewing.

 

[DarksideFlame]

I get the feeling that this will last very long so we're gonna need more than popcorn

Anyone up for pizza?

 

[Hussmann54]

So, a sub-faction of Anonymous, a group that prides itself on being faceless and no one knowing who anyone within the organization is, has started a hack-based civil war to seize control of the group from the other members.

... this may be me over thinking things a bit, but how is anyone going to be able to tell who is on what side? Or who they should even be attacking?

Picture a war..... but all the foot soldiers are in the same city, and blinded...... this will not end well for Anon....

[Nocturnal Gentleman]

Stop feeding them now before it's too late you fools !

"Massive troll kings are the largest, ugliest, dumbest, and most powerful creatures in the troll family. Their blood is the most powerful troll's blood that can be used for the spell, Animate Dead (730)."

See that Escapist, Animate Dead ! When the zombie apocalypse comes you will know that it was brought about by your own doings.

Where did you even get that quote?

 

[aaronobst]

I am literally ill from hearing about these clowns...

 

[Geekmaster]

Guess Anon does'nt like it's own medicine. Regardless, if they're "largely innocent" they'll be "largely in the clear"
