I didn't think Anonymous was a thing anymore. If it is, it's definitely not the Anonymous it was a decade ago.

It's not really. We're just seeing media hold on to terms they don't really understand like the evil hacker 4chan.

Ron Paul had a solid following as well, I believe. Source: itshappening.jpg

The "total war" that Anonymous declared earlier this month against Donald Trump has quickly devolved into a civil war among hackers fighting within the group and pro-Trump supporters who are trolling them within their chat rooms.
A civil war between members who pay income tax and have at least some life experience and those who still receive pocket money from their parents.

You have to remember that an unknown but significant portion of anonymous is now US intelligence agencies. Id be willing to bet theyre behind the anti trump sentiment and the dissidents are the actual anonymous contributors.
4chan is a place where smart people go to act stupid, while reddit is a place where stupid people go to act smart.
I think we'd all be surprised at the number of people involved in anonymous who are actually successful (and as a result, taxpayers).

the CIA and KGB, whenever they want to topple a democratic society and install a dictator, play both sides. they pay one group to target or defame the current leader or group, and then they'll pay another group to attack the first group. people that have tried to study the rise of fascism say that when there's political turmoil or economic turmoil and unrest, people will want stability and seek authoritarian leaders.

Give that man a cigar!
In my view it is 'script kiddies' versus actual 'hackers' (I wish their were some less cringe worthy terms). Becoming an expert in this area is not different from any other in that it takes effort, dedication and intelligence. Three things all SJWs lack.

So about 10 years back, well maybe thats when they atleast could get some shit done even if it was for lulz.
All thats left now is "the cool kids" going full edgy.
