Anonymous

I see alot of differences between Wikipedia's Anonymous Page and the one from RationWiki.

The Latter one literally describes them as kooks:

So, my question is: "Are they 'Warriors For Justice' or 'your average nutjobber that has nothing better to do than send DDoS attacks and faxes to the evil gobmint".

Because they do appear on TV occasionally and in the newspapers. Plus, CTers divide them in two groups:

1. The Good Anonymous (those that talk about Zionism)
2. The Bad Anonymous (those that talk about Muslim Terrorists)

Then again, they have ties with 4chan. And 4chan...

Anonymous is, according to my CTer, taken over some time ago (he didn't say when) and controlled by secret police forces from Russia & the US.

He calls it "Controlled Opposition".

Well, by the fundamental nature of their group, it's likely that their members embrace the entire spectrum between the two. Although it's probably heavily weighted towards the nutjobber end, of course.

I doubt Anonymous exists as any sort of real organization, more likely consisting of an ever changing series of individuals and subgroups that come and go. Most likely, there is more than one "Anonymous" group at any given time, with different groups claiming the label and having varying beliefs.

From my understanding it isn't an "organization". It is a few people who send out feelers through the internet for hackers when they have a task. Surely they have regular "helpers" who they can rely on, but they aren't controlled or anything. Point being, we couldn't even speculate about "them" because "them" aren't really a thing.
