Epic Win for Anonymous: How 4chan's Army Conquered the Web

Post by Saxtonite »

This book recently came out and apparently hit a major grouping on the internet. It has hit reddit as well as a few media organizations and is apparently getting a good amount of sells, even being used in a NYU class.
"Opps, wanted to add; wasn't there a study about how really smart people lead shitty lives socially? I vaguely remember something about it, so correct me if I'm wrong. Frankly, I'm of the opinion that I'd rather let the new Newton or new Tesla lead a better life than have him have a shitty one and come up with apple powered death rays."

Having seen how Curtis Saxton posts on FB, I'm pretty sure a true Saxtonite wouldn't be going "MAN CHECK OUT ANONYMOUS THOSE GUYS ARE COOL"
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Nevermind whether or not you like Anonymous, the book seems to be getting largely negative reviews on Amazon, with the majority being 1-star reviews, and a 3-star review saying that it burns well. :lol:

I just found out my 19year old cousin, (in vietnam, studying programming,) idolizes Anonymous.

If this is a widespread trait, the few years could be interesting.
