well what’s important to remember is that nothing anyone could possibly do would help, and everyone should give up and not resist fascism….
or, seriously, it takes a whole lot of things.
Comment on It would be fire if Anonymous hacked ICE

What do you think would come of it?
Imagine you find transcripts that show the most powerful people saying the worst most racist stuff possible.
Then you find that they have massive data collected.
Then you find the heinous stuff they’re doing.
Nothing comes of it all. Pro ICE people are even happier.
There’s a perverse enjoyment in the pain of the other that these people enjoy. It would only make them happier.

They’d gain 10 approval points in the south.

So ignorance is bliss?

Counterpoint - it’s not about exposing the powerful. Everyone already knows the evil shit they’re doing.
It’s about doxxing their rank and file and making sure we know who these masked thugs are.
They know where we live, and we pay their salary. Why shouldn’t we know where they live and what they’re doing to our community?
Know thy enemy, for he lives among us.

Yes. Do the peons. Start from the bottom up.
Theoretically, if someone would have started harassing Hitler’s low level thugs when he first got started then it would not have grown. It wouldnt need to be murderous. Slash some tires, break some windows … remember these are basically starter nazis that we are discussing.
They wear masks for a reason.

We have the panama papers, so many names from the Epstein list, snowden and all sorts of leaks. At this point I’m a bit of a defeatist. Lost all hope for any positive meaningful change.
I absolutely believe knowledge is vital and having it would be cool. But thats all it would be. Won’t translate to any meaningful change. What I presumed you had hoped by the hacks

Not exactly - those were strategic hacks designed to sway public opinion and engage a legal enforcement apparatus that proved to be toothless.
However, tactical hacks doxxing the rank and file combined with subsequent community action could have an enormous effect. Removing the masks of these thugs is key to protecting the innocents they’re targeting. After all, it’s our right as citizens to know who’s working for the government - we’re the ones paying their salaries.
As I said in a previous comment in response to a statement similar to yours, know thy enemy, for he lives among us.

I want the names and addresses of the fucking foot soldiers. I can’t fight some asshole listed by Epstein or the Panama Papers. I can get eyes on local gestapo.
