If you haven't heard Anonymous has supposedly stated that they're going to go against Trump and start a movement against him. They labeled this movement as "#OpWhiteRose" after the White Rose movement back in Germany when Hitler was around. If you want more information on that (the German White Rose movement) there's a Wikipedia page for it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rose  

And in case you're skeptical about Wikipedia pages here's another link explaining the old German movement in more detail (not more detailed than the Wiki, but more detailed than what I said):

If you don't trust that site either then Google it.

Here's a video and article about Anon's statement :

http://countercurrentnews.com/2016/03/opwhiterose/ (this url is mostly just a script of the YouTube video - which they properly quote, with some commentary on the issue)

Now I'm posting this to see what you guys think about this and perhaps Anon. in general. Will this really prove to be effective? We've seen Anon. do operations in the past and many argue as to whether or not those proved to be effective. If this is something to be taken seriously is this the correct action to take? Is it immoral to do this? 

Some people say Anonymous is really just an organization made by George Soros, and is a tool for Soros to push his agenda. What Anonymous seems to be talking about here seems similar to the current goals of organizations such as moveon.org. Some people say even if it's true that Soros is behind Anonymous, Anonymoud is made to be a loose collective, and that is what it has become so it matters not. What do you think of Anonymous as a whole?

Check out other news articles and acts Anonymous has done, in regards to action against Trump, if you're still curious:
https://www.google.com/search?q=anon+trump&oq=anon+trump&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i61.3330j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=anon+trump&tbm=nws

I put this topic here and not in "News" because I was unsure if this thread would end up breaking rule #2 of that forum or not.

While I appreciate their efforts, I question how effective their actions will be. Trump's power comes from his supporters, so unless they have a way of broadcasting some sort of video or recording which will put him in a majorly negative light (and let's not forget that it's already been reported about him asking MSNBC reporters to "ask him easy questions" and he's still in the lead), I doubt it will be much help.

So...We just have another publicity stunt that is going "G-GUYS! TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLER! PLEASE NO VOTE!"? Because why is Trump getting all the flack? Hillary is a straight up liar, and involved in horrible things. Remember the email scandal that all the news people reported about, but "suddenly" forgot about because Trump said something that hurt feelings? Or how about the fact what Sanders wants is completely unreasonable, and America can't afford to carry these things out?

What I don't get is, why is this okay? Why are the 50 SNL "skits" that are straight up anti-Trump propaganda okay? What about Funny Or Die's 50 minute long movie about why they hate Trump (Which is a bunch of lame overused jokes, but with Trump this time) okay? Yet he offends people, and it is suddenly an unforgivable evil? Why can Hillary lie and get away with it? Why are there so many double standards here?

There's some sort of contradiction here.
Anonymous originates from the imageboard 4chan, and 4chan is mostly pro-Trump.
Honestly, liberals are starting to annoy me.

A user of this : ugh, Herd mentality amirite? Trump isn't 'good' but he's very profitable for media outlets. He's a living clickbait article. People want thier daily dose of Trump idiocy and that, unfortunatly, means that the other candidates problems are being overlooked. If only people would do their own research~



If this is legit then it's about time they've announced they're moving agaisnt Trump. It's not that Trump is Hitler - he lacks the inteligence and blind followers to be - or Stalin or Mao, but what he is the key to letting such figures arise in America and obtain positions of power. He's a bully, a baby fascist; he knows what he wants and is willing to do bad things to get it but he lacks the right manipulative skills to do so. Letting him into your government will do nothing but mess it up even more. Now, I'm not saying Bernie or Hillary or, really, any of the other candidates are perfect alternatives but rather lesser evils... A blatent liar, an advocate for executing those who do not subscribe to his religion, someone who believes in a to-perfect future... It's a shame Obama and Trudeau didn't have the chance to work together for longer, they seem so like minded.

Will this prove effective?
It is yet to be seen. The name Anonymous has been diluted as their exploits have become more widely known: remember that guy who threatened pipeline advocates in British Columbia, Canada, and ended up killed by the police? He claimed ties to Anonymous but none were ever found. He was a faker and threatened physical violence - something Anonymous doesn't do. Anonymous advocates free speech, donating to homeless shelters and other such charities, to fight for true democracy. That's why they were able to pull Scientology from the internet and get rid of it's 1-800 number for over two weeks back when the 'church' was in it's prime.

What do I think of Anonymous as a whole?
I think that their message can be good but their methods extreme. They straddle a moral line and ride it hard. Their methods are illegal in many circumstances (doxxing people, raiding corporate servers, etc. etc.) but I also agree with their message most of time. I would not want to affiliate myselves with such cyberspace... renegades?.. But I also would not want them to stop existing. Some forces, even if dangerous, are necessary in the society we live in.

america is just a running joke that's gone on a little too long at this point

Doesn't Anonymous have like no organization at all? It's just a group of individuals united by ideals and views, but not by intent or action. Anyone can join "Anonymous" and second of the day. So "Anonymous"s movement against will be mostly individuals working independently which will most likely stopped by Trump's vast resources, funding and assets, while the "movement" dies down to nothing

This actually made me laugh.

When Anonymous goes after you, that's the first sign that you've messed up big time. To see a group like them go after Donald Trump is just amazing. The sad part about this whole situation was that Trump just gained more popularity based on Anonymous calling him out and basically saying he's an idiot that's crazy. 

But honestly, one of the funniest new stories I've read in a while. 

Damn, anonymous makes me cringe. Just a bunch of script kiddes. Instead of going after ISIS or Hillary Clinton, who is criminal, they go after Donald Trump because "OMG HES RACIST!11!!!"

Saying someone is racist these days is a real regressive leftist tactic to silence someone.
