Comment on Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it - News Cafe

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.
