I love Anonymous, and not just because it gives me an excuse to wear fun masks and shout at people for their religious beliefs.lemiel14n3 said:
Anonymous is a terrible fucking thing. But, it is also the face of the Internet. Everyone in the world is a selfless, evil, world-saving, out-for-themselves, crazy sort of person. And anon reflects that. Sure, the legion does terrible things. But they also are a self-regulating mass of people behaving in the most purely human manner ever concieved. They harass and attack, but when something goes too far, it usually ends pretty quickly. When someone does something wrong, they are punished. Granted, what anon decides is wrong is pretty much a flavor of the week sort of deal, but then most of society is as well. Anon polices itself. Child pornography is punished with banning, or law enforcement involvement. If the internet were countries, we would call a ban EXILE or DEPORTMENT.
In fact, Anonymous is damn near the best realization of communism ever to exist (the Federation notwithstanding, as Star Trek is fictional. Don't try to argue that point. I will win). A self-sustaining unit of human beings coexisting together according to their own rules and a vaguely-shared ideal. That is pretty much a WHOLE DAMN NATION. Just add geography.
So yeah, anon, keep making your racist jokes and heartfelt charitable misadventures. You are neutral humanity laid bare, and I would not have that change for all the security and politeness in the world.
I expect you to hold up your end of internet.
Terrorism: The act of inspiring terror to achieve ones goals.
This is the simplified definition of course. But lets go through it.
Does Anon inspire TERROR? Fear? Are their mothers crying in the streets and children being taken out of school? No.
Bam, not terrorist.
And to those of you who seem to believe the GOAL is what defines a terrorist, try again. It is the method of achieving a goal. Someone could be using terrorism to get the government to build houses for the homeless and give more funding to the education system.
The GOAL does not make a terrorist, the METHOD does.

One thing people do that is wrong, is that they sometimes think 4chan = Anonymous. But from what I have been able to figure out, Anonymous does not support Child pornography, only the trolls on 4chan does, and note this, not everyone on 4chan are creeps, they are just random.
I would think of them as chaotic defenders of free-speech and the right to be anonymous on the internet. One thing I like about the REAL anonymous "members" (they don´t have members if I know them right, they have volunteers) is their opposition to for example the Westboro Baptist Church, which is a cult that promotes death of people, for example American soldiers in Irac, and for some stupid reason, us Swedes, as the will of god.
Feel free to correct me
