| Jumpin said: The major problem with this protest is that the Anonymous group keeps trying to take over the protest, and they are doing things not in the spirit of the protest. Their very association with it does a lot of harm. It is like if right winged Muslim Fundamentalists supported the Liberal Party in the US. Kids with entitlement issues posting videos with Catholic terrorist masks does not help anything. If the people of Anonymous really wished to support the movement, they would cease all association with it. |
There is a difference between connecting with Guy Fawkes and V. While the V character connects to Guy Fawkes, V character himself is connected with the graphic novel, and important to understand how that is different.
As for Anonymous, it is what it is, and is and it. To say, flat out you hate Anonymous and are opposed to everything it stands for, is to say you believe the only individuals who should have privacy, and the ability to do things without detection, is governments and elite and powerful. Problem with the methdology of being anonymous, which Anonymous incarnates is people who are extreme will get behind it. But to kill it off completely, is to pave the way for a global totalitarian state.
