Anons used to say that they were NYPA ("Not your personal army") and I think that was a very healthy thing to say. The people who choose to (or need to) be anonymous aren't merely hell-raising, but are taking a stand on something that they believe in.
I'm very glad that Anonymous coalesced and did what it did to Scientology, starting in 2008... but they never were our army. They moved on to other things (and WWP does now promote a lot of other causes besides ending the abuses of L Ron Hubbard)... not all of them things that I agree with. The "Occupy" movement wasn't something I agreed with, particularly: too many young people with unworkable ideals like the loon I saw with a teeshirt that read "Abolish money". Er... wut? But they still wore Guy Fawkes masks - just as the democracy campaigners in China do.
So it's kind of weird. But I think the 'wog' public has learned a lot about the power of anonymity in the last few years, and much of that has been learned from those crazy young people who swarmed up out of nowhere and forced the Scientology Cult to close the blinds and hide. And the beauty of it is... they could do it again, any time. Another Lisa McPherson, and who knows? Not David Mismanage, that's for sure.
So don't write off Anonymous. Just because now you can't see the people that you couldn't name... doesn't mean they're not watching.
I've recently been watching the last days of a corrupt organization. I can't identify them, because it would put me at risk... but I've seen a corrupt leader and a pack of cronies exposed, and their position made untenable by a series of anonymous leaks. (And nothing to do with WWP.)
Scientology was just the first pack of liars to be exposed. The 21st century is going to be... interesting.
