What's the reason for this? They've "Lost their way?" That we "Can't take anything they say at face value?" Are these problems supposed to be unique to Anonymous? Are you trying to say that any organization or group to which these phrases apply should destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up? By this reasoning, one could make the same claim about anything. Politicians. The media. Religion. The internet. Movies. Video games. The human race. You can't make a vague claim of "They don't have the RIGHT to be a group" without better reasoning than "They don't stand for what they originally stood for!" Especially since, far more than most organizations, they do still stand for what they originally stand for.
I'm sitting on the sidelines to see how Anonymous' latest stunt plays out, and don't have any comment for the OP.
However, Jericu, this stands out. You asked, "Are you trying to say that any organization or group to which these phrases apply should be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up?"
The answer is, "Yes, absolutely, why not?"
If a Politician goes back on his word, does the opposite of what he promised, changes his party's stance, what do you do?
Vote him out of office, impeach him, Viva la Revolutione! Put somebody in power who's policies you agree with.
The Media. If a news agency shows an extreme bias to one side while under the guise of fair and balanced media, what do you do?
You'd want it shut down, wouldn't you?
Religion? Really? If the Catholic church were to start preaching something that you don't agree with, what would do?
I don't know, probably go form Protestantism.
If the Internet became Internet 2.0, with rules and regulations everywhere, where nothing is free not even information... What would you do?
You'd probably do your part to form Internet 3.0 or some such, and get things back to the way they were.
If the movie and game industries became some money-driven cesspool, controlled by corporate greed with no care given to the consumer, the Gamer, what would you do?
How about giving the industry back to the Indie Developers? Games made by Gamers, for Gamers.
Humanity? Not sure what you're getting at here. Does not fit.
Anyways, my point is, what the hell are you talking about? A group changing its policies to something other than what it once stood for is a perfectly acceptable reason to want to kill it with fire, destroy it and rebuild it from the ground up.
