Gil -
Thanks for the reference to Anonymous@YouTube. You can tell I'm an old
fogey by my irritable reaction to the style of their videos. I felt
like it was created by/for Max Headroom!
I HAVE watched one or two before (over a year ago?) with the same
reaction. I have a natural (Ithink) mixed reaction to their
bluff/threats... what was that about contacting people in Lagos,
Nigeria? I didn't think Anonymous were prone to threatening IRL
violence, but rather stayed with what I think of as "targeted vandalism"
in cyberspace?
I'm also (still) confused about how there can ever be a single true
voice for such a by-definition amorphous and distributed and ultimately
defined only by self-definition group? Some aspects of their
nature/behaviour feels a bit too much like the alt.right they are (in
this moment) going up against.

Anonymous has been posting videos on youtube sugesting people put
aside the petty bickering. Making sugestion what things people can do
to empower themselves. Their current call to arms is about (weirdly)
love and joy and getting rid of washinton as it currently is and try
for something like a Sociliast Republic/Technorocracy.
They're pretty tired of the sheer rage coming in and out of washington
if the videos are anything to go by.

his (admittedly highly flawed) inner circle/counsel. Moving the

While I like the idea of his continued self-sabotage, his
pronouncements probably keep a part of the base stoked.
If his accounts were to go away, those folks might not have the
initiative to replace that outlet with another. And then they
could get back to torturing animals or whatever it is they do all day.
The ACLU new policy to not support armed groups seems like a good
step. There are other groups like the SPLC that can tackle the
haters. I hope that if his rhetoric continues this way, and he
repeatedly violates their terms of services, that they do shut him
down completely. He can go on Fox and Friends or something.
