Anytime I see something about "Anonymous" I just assume it's some kind of fed psyop until proven otherwise.

So you'll go to your grave believing it because all the proof in the world will just be fake news

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In this case? Yeah, probably. If there was proof of their identity they would no longer be anonymous, would they?

It's a much more reasonable assumption than how your lot assumes anyone who disagrees with you for any reason is a Russian bot, and can't be convinced by any amount of proof otherwise.

I mean at least you're leaning into the conservative conspiracy hole instead of pretending you're not in it, so bonus points for honesty.

I've also never accused random posters of being Russian trolls/bots, so fewer points for that.

Lmao, "conservative conspiracy hole." I guess "being suspicious of anonymous sources" makes me a conservative conspiracy theorist, somehow 🤣

This is just basic critical thinking lol.

"This thing I don't understand is a government psyop and I will refuse to believe any evidence to the contrary"

That's literally Maga 101 you can't be surprised I called a spade a spade. Plus I just happe to know you're already conservative from your other posts so it's just more evidence to back it up.

This thing I don’t understand

What don't I understand about it?

I will refuse to believe any evidence to the contrary

There is no evidence to the contrary. The only way there could be would be if they got caught.

Plus I just happe to know you’re already conservative from your other posts so it’s just more evidence to back it up.

Lmao of course you do.

As I always say, "If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying." Please cite any evidence at all that I'm conservative.

I apologize for my mistake earlier, when I said my suspicions about Anonymous were more reasonable than your belief that I'm a Russian bot, what I should've said is that they're more reasonable than your baseless and unfalsifiable belief that I'm secretly a conservative. Huge difference.

I will believe it when I see it this is likely just talk.

Anonymous, if you are going to do it, PLEASE make sure to leave the innocent people alone and go after the rich assholes that are doing this.

Other than that, here's my axe, go wild

No one is innocent here.

Go vandalize Tom Tillis' website. That'll be your first test.

Aren’t they kind of notorious for empty promises?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Its more of a chaos entity. Because anyone can be a part of it with literally no steps other than saying "I am Anonymous", anyone can say or do anything. As a result, one person or group may claim Anonymous while doing a legitimate hack, while another person who is just a script kiddie won't ever actually do anything and you get this hot and cold, will they won't they effect as a result.

Sounds like ISIS. Lots of people claiming to be members.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Getting attention is a big part of it
