Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it. The international hacker community is preparing to strike against U.S. infrastructure and calls for public awareness against incoming fascism
My final semester in American Sign Language was “Sex, Drugs, and Profanity,” and most of the signs are just exactly what you’d guess. (I held on to those textbooks.) Plus, facial expressions are a big part of the grammar of the language. I don’t recognize this scene, but assuming it’s from a comedy - it’s probably also not far off from accurate.
It’s from the 1982 film Airplane 2: the Sequel. Nowhere near as funny as the original, but still very funny.
By all means do. It’s not like much of value is lost at this point.
Oh wow. They’ll shut down a website for a day.
Whoop-tee-doo.
It’ll take 40 years to fix the damage he’ll do in 4.

That assumes that we have a party interested in fixing anything.
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho will be interested.
At least he found the smartest person on the planet and immediately put him in charge.
Ikr. Doing that with the richest man instead does not seem to have the same effect.
Lol this is hilarious. I don’t know which “anonymous” they spoke to, but it definitely wasn’t the actual subversionist hackers that know how to do shit.
Ah, Anonymous—the digital equivalent of a fart in a hurricane. Trump’s America? Weakness isn’t new—it’s baked into the propaganda circus we’ve called democracy since Reagan. You think script kiddies and Elon’s crypto-bros “hacking fascism” will fix anything? Please. The real op is watching tech oligarchs and politicians collude while we argue about which flavor of dystopia we’re slurping.
Infrastructure attacks? Bold move, Cotton. Let’s see how it works out when grandma’s dialysis machine gets bricked by some edgelord’s Python script. If you want revolution, stop fetishizing IRC nostalgia and touch grass. Until then, this is just digital graffiti on a burning trash barge.
I’m not going to write off hacktivism so quickly.
Even if it’s just a few defaced websites now and then, that’s a whole lot more effective than any other sort of activism I’ve seen to date.
Even a god king bleeds
Oh, sure, let’s romanticize hacktivism, the digital equivalent of spray-painting a slogan on a collapsing wall. A few defaced websites? That’s your bar for effectiveness? The oligarchs aren’t losing sleep over a 404 page; they’re too busy consolidating power while you cheer for digital vandalism like it’s the French Revolution.
Real change doesn’t come from poking at the system with a keyboard and hoping it flinches. If anything, these stunts just give them more excuses to tighten the noose—more surveillance, more control.
You want to fight the machine? Build something better. Organize. Create infrastructure that can’t be co-opted. Until then, hacktivism is just a tantrum dressed up as resistance.
Settle down mate.
I didn’t say defaced websites are going to take down the government.
My implication was that it would be more effective than ranting on social media.
Settle down? Sure, but let’s not settle for mediocrity. If your metric for effectiveness is being slightly better than social media rants, you’ve already lost the plot. Hacktivism that doesn’t disrupt the system in a meaningful way is just noise—an aesthetic rebellion that the system shrugs off or, worse, absorbs.
You want to be effective? Stop playing into their hands with token gestures. Build tools, networks, and alternatives that outlast their control. Otherwise, you’re just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic while calling it progress.
Defacing websites might feel cathartic, but it’s not revolution—it’s a distraction.
Are you okay?
What a pointless thought-terminating comment.
Do you have any actual critiques or just lame regurgitated snark to try to win imaginary points?
Well, meowmeowbeanz has a good point, namely, Anonymous saying anything is meaningless. Because Anonymous is a not a group, at best it could be called a movement, at worst it’s just a name. In any case, anybody can claim to speak for them. Hence their statements are meaningless.
However, meowmeowbeanz’s post is also a barely coherent rant with overused emphasis. Which makes them seem mentally unwell. It’s like encountering somebody with a tinfoil hat ranting about how the earth is round.
Anonymous is going to attack the American people’s infrastructure?
No, they are going to talk a bunch then so nothing. It’s their whole thing.
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
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.
Well I hope they choose their targets right, otherwise it’ll just make everything worse.
That’s kind of inevitable right now. The most important thing is making sure Trump and the GOP get the blame. Well, them or Russia.
Actually, the best targets aren’t the government. It’s big business.
They’ll blame it on Obama, Hillary, Biden, communism, LGBTQ, Black people, immigrants, etc.
They never take the blame - there’s always an ‘other’ to demonize.
The newest dog whistle is simply DEI. They managed to snuggly clump all their racism, homophobia and misogyny into a single acronym.
Very true and annoyed at myself for forgetting. Thanks for reminding me.
Under facism dog whistles quickly become crimes
DEI
Donald, Eric and Ivana?
That’s gonna be a big ask. Republicans don’t even get the blame for the things they do themselves. Oligarch propaganda is everywhere and pernicious, look at how the average working class American has accepted the notion that low level bureaucrats are the reason they’re poor.
They’re all talk and no bite. The world needs fsociety
The world fsociety brought about was shit
The final season they steal all of the money the ruling elites had been using to control the world, ending their grip on society.
Could also be argued that the dark army did the most evil shit and the government siding with the deus group rather than taking the side of the citizens is why things spiraled after wiping out the debt history of everyone.
Elon and the other people pulling the strings on society losing all their money would not be a bad thing for civilization at all
Then do it
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.
Here is my 4 laptops, loaded up loic, give me ip, we roll

full name of loris?
Go vandalize Tom Tillis’ website. That’ll be your first test.
Exploit it you say? Please get in line behind the russians, the chinese snd pretty much all arab countries
Don’t forget the billionaires too.
Yes, that’s how exploiting works in those videos.
What makes you think Anonymous isn’t filled with the russians, chinese, and pretty much all arab countries?
If it’s not card carrying white republicans hacking America, we’re going to have a problem with it.
What did we do? As if our governments aren’t US vassals? Yet you still demonize us. If Arab governments had any sway our governments wouldn’t be paying tributes and forced to normalize with Israel and host US troops.
Iran, for one example, is a prolific cybersecurity adversary of the USA. One of the top four advesaries alongside China, North Korea and Russia. In fact, Iran is believed to be responsible for disclosing a CIA covert channel to China which led to a critical dismantling of CIA assets. I don’t know as much about other Arab states because Iran is most famous for its advanced cyber-warfare capabilities, but honestly, to avoid exploiting the USA would be very foolish.
Obviously this goes both ways. Israel and the USA are infamous for Stuxnet, a computer virus which reportedly destroyed a fifth of Iran’s nuclear centrifuges in the early 2000s.
I just want to confirm that you know that Iranians are not Arabs. Linguistically they are closer to Europeans and Indians.
Next time a blonde haired blue eyed British man named Lawrence comes asking you to rebel against the Ottomans you’ll think twice, huh
There were legitimate grievances, but most Arabs did not rebel against the Ottomans. In fact many more died fighting for it. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2004/1/14/the-forgotten-arabs-of-gallipoli
Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Egypt have been caught spying on the US (or US citizens) from what I know
Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Egypt have been caught spying on the US (or US citizens) from what I know
Dude, America has spied on even its allies. The bar is pretty low, here.
Saudi Arabia is allegedly spying on Saudis abroad including in the US. Specifically government critics on social media. Saudi Arabia allegedly spied on its citizens in the US through a network flaw
This is bad and probably violates US laws. But it wasn’t targeting the US or US citizens. Meanwhile, Israel is targeting the US and US citizens: Israel Has Long Spied on U.S., Say Officials
The Saudis did not give the Jared billions for nothing. Just remember, the Saudis and Israelis told Bush to invade Iraq and next up is Iran with Putin’s Sock Puppet in charge. It will be a massive cluster fuck.
Leaders in the region fear that the US will turn their countries into another Iraq so they pay up. Don’t confuse tributes for bribes.
Saudi Arabia opposed the invasion of Iraq. It was Netanyahu that went to congress and sold the war to them.
Saudi Arabia’s Steadfast Opposition to the Invasion of Iraq
https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2023/03/17/iraq-saudi-arabia-saddam-hussein/
Crap, I should have typed the 1st Gulf War and Bush Sr. You are correct about the 2nd invasion, the Saudis did not want Iraq fractured and the Shite’s gaining power through Iran.
In the first Gulf War it was out of necessity. Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khafji
Even today, other than wealth, Saudi Arabia is a much smaller country than Iraq with half its population -Saudi Arabia’s population figures are inflated since over 40% are foreigners-. In 1991 Iraq was much stronger, and much more self sufficient, it could have taken Saudi Arabia in days if it weren’t for the coalition forces.
-Saudi Arabia’s population figures are inflated since over 40% are foreigners-.
That’s not inflated, they’re still part of the population…
Maybe they don’t count temporary residents like students and foreign worker permit holders?
Also can they likely can’t be drafted / join their army?
You say that as if Iran hasn’t been financing uprisings, Turkey isn’t openly affectionate with multiple opposing world powers, and as if Afghanistan didn’t fall into chaos literally as the USA were leaving.
If they actually gave a shit about spreading awareness, they’d find a way to get that video on Fox News, OANN, etc
V for vendetta shit
“America is becoming fascist” makes me cringe.
It cannon become something that it has been for a long time. US was fascist under Clinton, Bush, Obama, first Trump admin, Biden and it keeps on the same track now. It’s less than useless rallying cry when US foreing policy alone in the past 70 years is a realworld example of the thought experiment of “what would have happened if nazi-germany had won WW2”. Genocide, war, coup, and dictatorship galore committed by the United States, especially after the 80s.
In the end what this narrative is about is that precarious middle class liberals fear that even more of the practices that US has been spreading around the world are now coming home and now the US government will gut it’s own people instead of some foreigners. Even this isn’t unprecedented and at worst Trump can only make things worse for some, but for many what they fear is already reality.
Makes me really think if this “Anonymous cell” has any real grass-roots basis or if it’s just the same coup-mongers hiding behind thin leftist veneer to just jump against Trump, who they see as destructive loose cannon to their operations, not as an real opponent. Nothing new for Anonymous name being used in this way btw. Where were they under Biden?
To the indigenous people, the US has always been fascist.
Don’t bother with this troll. They are a fake account made a day ago to rile decent.
