Captain_Shinzo Vanilla eXee Obscurus Vanilla eXee @obscurus: That'd be because there are too many people to go after, not because they can't find them. Just like back in the mob days, they'd follow the little guys and wait it out, sometimes years, to get to the high rollers. That's exactly it though. There are too many. And there are no high rollers.
If they intend to take over the world (or even the country) then there will be. I guess what is happening in this thread right now almost proves your point though. We mostly all agree that the government works by illusion of power. Well, Anonymous also has the illusion of power. And that is working for them the same way it works for the government: creating loyalty and fear. However, they'll simply never have the man power or the funds to take over. There are a lot of them, but not that many, and not all of them are into the whole world domination thing. Like I said, most of them are just a bunch of stupid kids.
This discussion was just about them facing off a few government organizations from what I recall.
Not according to the poster that someone posted. Don't forget, the internet doesn't just exist in the United States, I'm sure there are people from plenty of different countries on 4chan. If they intend to cause chaos, it's not just gonna be here. In fact, the OP is from a different country, isn't he? This discussion is technically not even about anonymous, it's about some weird writing he found that may or may not be their work.

Anonymous never plans on taking over the world. Infact, the poster says so itself. All it is for is to scare paranoid people who know little of anonymous or people who give anonymous TOO much credit.
Sure, anonymous members MAY not have created the writing. However, it's the best idea we have right now.

Yup. and it was an organic and non trolley topic movement. so i think it's cool because it was constructive(dunno about mod's and admin opinions tho).
I found the discussion interesting and educational. :3

This will most likely die out soon anyway as Anonymous doesn't have that long of an attention span.

(I didn't really go over the posts; just skimmed them)

Well either or they better not give them a reason to shut down my internet! I am not as skilled to get around those kinds of blocks... And I like my news! So I hope they find a way to dupe the kill switch for all of us.

Turning off the major Internet nodes would cripple our economy and they're not going to do that because of a bunch of mischievous hackers.

Companies can't place orders or keep track of inventory, investors can't tell what's going on with the markets, the flow of news won't reach very far. And on and on for just about everything that relies on a connection to the Internet, with exception of core infrastructure like utilities. I know you're joking about how bad the economy currently is, but imagine what it would be like in the above scenario. If they ever use that switch it will have to be for a very, very good reason.

Once they did that there would be no going back though. They better hope they have their ducks in a row. In that case, they aren't going to pull the plug prematurely because of some /b/tards. They may end up calling Anonymous a terrorist group and using that as an excuse, but I really do doubt it.
