Address to Anonymous

Hello, Anonymous. I come in peace. I do not frequent forums, so for the majority of your lifetime, i have been oblivious to your actions and works.
I, for the past few days, have been reading wikipedia entries, forums, and youtube postings about your community of collective consciousness. You may be asking yourselves why i am posting this video. The answer is simply put, truth. I am, like yourselves, a seeker of truth. I am not here to offend anyone, or to make enemies. Instead, i am here to ask questions, and through process, hope to recieve answers. 1. though i have my own theory about the boxxybabee epidemic and why your group took actions against her, a teenage girl who was simply posting videos and pictures to her friends, i must ask. what was the reasoning behind attacking her? i want a solidified answer from anonymous as a collective and not as a singular. i know your dwelling place contains trolls and griefers, such as any forum or organization does no matter how righteous they are. but was boxxy attacked by griefers or was there a deeper more substantial cause? The answer to that question specifically, interests me the most. 2. Why attack popularity? popularity may be an infectious and deliberate disease, but it however, often holds no ill will towards anyone. There must be a point to the actions your group collaborates in, and i would very much like to discuss those reasons. The above questions, from my current viewpoint, do not make sense regarding the answers to those questions that i have already found amongst the vast stretch of chaos called the internet. however, i do know that anonymous does seek righteousness, and the systematic downfall of scientology has proved that. a real and evident cause you are fighting for indeed. i congratulate you on your victories, but again i must ask, if you seek to keep freedoms intact and halt totalitarian organizations, then why must members of your group converge to cause terror as well? I have said before, the equation itself does not matter, a string of behaviours colliding to eventually collect at a greater point, is in itself an answer. the answer is the only thing that matters. the destination, is what matters most. So, what is your destination, anonymous?

I also now understand that just because one member did something it does not mean anyone else knew about it or even condoned it. That is a good and a bad thing. let me explain both. It is good because not working as a group essentially means you do not take blame across all levels of actions as a group. thats is a huge tactical advantage. It however can be negative, because when a group has a single name it is still treated and viewed as a single being. That is why the public is paranoid.

Brainspiller89 has the most basic answer, but let's elaborate a bit.

Anonymous has many faces, and to claim it collaborates on anything is not completely accurate. Subsections of the ludicrously sized community do different things for different reasons. Some perform acts simply because they are able, and anything done en masse has a sort of poetic beauty to it. Some members of anonymous know the powderkeg they sit on, and can trigger it towards any end they wish.

How, may I ask, is it fun to dismember one's amendment. Anonymous OFTEN cites that they are against violations of freedom of speech and violations of the first amendment which covers more than just basic speech rights. To go after people who do nothing at all, is ludicrous, childish, and slanderous to your own beliefs. For the lulz? are all of your answers going to be dead ends that lead to nothing but an elaborate riddle in which no answer is contained?

You'd have to ask those responsible. Though anonymous is one, it is also legion. We don't have a collective hivemind. Asking us why we did it is like asking a 18 year old why we went to Vietnam. The entire point of anonymous is that we are, in fact, anonymous. Nobody knows the specific individuals involved, because they were anonymous when they did so. If you want to know how doing something atrocious can be funny to some, take some psych classes. It's not a trait unique to anonymous.

Good point, many Anon members are sociopaths indeed, and sadists as well. Now though, I see that there is a half. I have a friend who is an Anon. The way he put it is half of you guys are awesome and the other half can go "off themselves". I agree with that. I consider anyone doing anything for the lulz to be not Anonymous, but simply parasites who are going along for the ride. I get it now.

An open letter to everyone in existence... what?

Shit always hits the fan on there. It was doomed long before bawksy.

At one point boxxy was considered by many OK, until it had reached a point where every thread on the whole front page was nothing but boxxy, I think at that point it simply became too much for a lot of anons and then the shit started to hit the proverbial fan, not that it wasn't doing that already but it just went into high gear.

be a man and speak up. There was no higher goal, there was a bunch of d-bags who were just bored, go to.... well, I can't tell you where to go to talk to anon's. We are not fighting for a cause, not as a whole at least. For the most part we are just keeping ourselves entertained. Changing the world is just a side effect.

tl;dw

[helios345]

there is no cohesion between anons. so there is no higher goal. there is no contingent called anon. call anon legion, cause they are many. but: anon is not a person. anon is not a destination. anon is not a volition. anon is not a religion, nor a cult, nor people who share the same believes. in fact: there is no "anon". there are people, who declare themself to be anon. anon is not a believe. anon is not a internethatemachine. anon is random. no logic, no moral, no higher goal.

for the lulz

If popularity never hurts anyone, then why am I in therapy? Because the need to be popular drives assholes to beat on people like you, me, and moot. Honestly, face it. You are all posters on 4chan because you have nothing else to do on a Friday night except fap to furry porn and look at random videos on youtube, and thats how Boxxy was found in the first place. Shit makes me BAWW every night. :(

[v3ck1n]

used to be. now it's all gone to shit.
