  1. Why does 4chan always get the blame for everything?
  2. The French helped us in our revolution, why can't anonymous help Egypt? Last I checked, they weren't complaining, they were rejoicing. Because their leader has resigned. So despite your opinions, the actions of Anonymous supported what has now happened. End of story.
  3. Yeah and the lastest news i heard is that they have Trolololol on their iPod playlist
  4. ' Who decides?

    Isn't the whole Egyptian "revolution" about the abuse of power?
    Isn't any group which operates in the shadows under its own mandate, is answerable to no one and attacks any other person or entity to be repudiated? Isn't that the same hubris and arrogance that the Egyptian people are challenging?

    Resistance, sometimes even violent (cyber or physical) resistance, is justified and just. But, who decides? I submit that choice is not for outsiders to make.

    I'm just saying.

    On one hand that is true but, on the other hand that completely ignores the fact that if ANYONE would do something about it that wouldn't really harm the regular people on the street it'd be Anon. I think their bits of vigilantism is a nice change from America going to storm countries in the name of 'justice'. It's sort of as if people have **** to say about them ****ing with the REAL bullies of the world and using their resources for that rather than the usual. That in my mind is not the same hubris and arrogance the Egyptian people are challenging. That if anything is raising your fist over the oceans in support of their cause.
