Anonymous was infiltrated by US federal law enforcement over a decade ago.

Anyone claiming to be Anonymous is a honeypot agent manuevering unwitting criminals into self incriminating criminal activity.

You're totally correct I did quickly just throw this out there without much thought of who would read this. I guess more of helping inform yourself and others of suppressed news rather than straight to hacking haha.

u/drgzzz 19d ago

There has not been a single president who doesn’t have good acts attributed to them, keep making everyone who doesn’t agree with you an enemy and you guys will keep losing, I voted Biden in 2020 and people like you have made me positive I will never vote democrat again. 😉

10

u/rubizza 19d ago

Yeah, because you should definitely let irritation at Redditors decide your vote. If Trump has his way, you won’t get to vote Democrat again.

The penny thing was ok, I suppose. But it’s not going to give me social security or Medicare when he tanks them. Not going to let me go to a closed National Park this summer. Not going to bring my dead father back to life after he was killed by Covid in the absence of a pandemic protocol.

Other presidents weren’t actively trying to destroy the country and sell the parts for profit. LMK when that optimism fades. If we’re still around.

9

u/nemlocke 19d ago

So random redditors made you decide never to vote Democrat? So your vote is not based on policy or candidate? It's based on dumbasses posting on an online forum? That seems pretty stupid. Sounds just like the Republicans who only care about winning and owning the libs even if the resulting policy will end up hurting themselves too. How unfortunate.

1

u/drgzzz 18d ago

Random redditors? You think the only place I interact with people is on reddit? I’m referring to people like that Redditor, there are plenty of them in real life and it embodies what the democrats represent today.

2

u/nemlocke 18d ago

No, it doesn't. What a delusional take. You're just captured by exactly what the far right want you to think and feel. There are retards on both sides. You're just choosing to observe the retards on one side. Democrats don't represent that.

1

u/drgzzz 18d ago

Right now I only hear people loudly complaining about one thing, it’s much more apparent in one group than the other, who are mostly quiet. If what I just said captures what the far right think and feel then maybe you should reevaluate who you perceive the “far right” to be because I have never even voted conservative and definitely not for Trump.

DEI being gone is great imo, looking at the budget without bureaucracy is a good thing, some of the tariffs were needed and his stance/policy on immigration is much better than any democrat. He’s done a ton of bad shit too, now get a life.

You should learn to make these decisions on your own by doing research instead of being influenced so easily by others, you can find democrats annoying and still vote dem, you’re just a privileged conservative white man, as painful as it’ll be for you to accept that

u/redzeusky 19d ago

Given that they tended to release information embarrassing to the US and not Russia or other adversaries - I presumed they were perhaps funded by or somehow associated with the GRU. But now sending a warning to techs supporting Dear Leader 47, I'm not sure.

We have known how limited they were since they tried and failed to take down Scientology decades ago. Start looking for local resistance movements. AFAIK r/50501 is the one with the most steam right now.

Fascism thrives on an assumption of inevitability and appearance of social acceptance. You can literally fight by just standing somewhere with other people. Put up stickers, deface anything right-leaning, etc. Show that there is a resistance and it will grow.

No multi thousand person Tuesday afternoon protests of the president just because he decided to give a speech. No massive rallies screaming "Genocide Don". No huge campaign to get Arab Americans to hate Trump.

Apparently genocide only matters in election years when Democrats are in office.

u/ralphrainwater 18d ago

What's the corruption Elon show? His personal wealth has declined while working for free at DOGE. He just rescued two stranded astronauts. Starlink has proved crucial in North Carolina. Where is evidence of this corruption?

1

u/woodnymph7890 17d ago

Yes, he did some good via the astronauts and NC - but he has also closed down every government agency that was investigating him while receiving billions for spacex

1

u/ralphrainwater 17d ago

Is that true, I wondered? If so, I wasn't aware of Musk doing this. So I asked AI to evaluate your statement. It provided this answer. By the way, before I post anything in public forums like this, I now evaluate my own claim via AI:

"Let’s evaluate the truth of this claim from Reddit: "Yes, he did some good via the astronauts and NC - but he has also closed down every government agency that was investigating him while receiving billions for SpaceX." I’ll break it down into its key components and assess each part based on available evidence as of March 20, 2025.

### Overall Truth Assessment

- **True Parts**: Musk aided astronauts and North Carolina, and SpaceX receives billions in federal funds.

- **False Parts**: He hasn’t “closed down every government agency” investigating him. While DOGE has pushed cuts, no evidence shows all investigative agencies (FAA, NHTSA, SEC, etc.) were shuttered—most persist, though some face pressure.

- **Verdict**: The claim is **partially true but significantly exaggerated**. It’s accurate on SpaceX funding and Musk’s positive contributions, but the assertion about closing “every” investigating agency lacks substantiation and overstates his influence. DOGE’s cuts are real but selective, not a total shutdown of all probes against Musk’s companies.

This reflects a mix of fact and hyperbole common in online discourse. For a definitive take, watch official statements from Trump admin or agency websites in the coming months—DOGE’s impact is still unfolding as of March 20, 2025."

1

u/woodnymph7890 17d ago

Ok, so perhaps "every" agency is incorrect. The following is a list of agencies that have/had been investigating musk accmording to the House Committee on the Judiciary: Department of Labor Consumer Financial Protection Bureau U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Department of Transportation (DOT) U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Federal Election Commission (FEC) Department of the Interior (DOI) Department of Defense (DOD) Department of Justice (DOJ) Department of Justice (DOJ) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Office of Government Ethics (OGE)

Every one of those agencies were affected in one way or another, be it funding, firing or dismantling. I would say that constitutes fraud

1

u/ralphrainwater 16d ago

His net worth is up $30 billion since election day, though it rose by $154 billion initially. Tesla stock has dropped back to where it had been, but SpaceX, the Boring Company, and Neuralink have all contributed to his growth in wealth.

In all honesty, I do admire Elon as a real life Tony Stark, so do not begrudge his money. Elon seems motivated to do great things for humanity. His wealth is put to use to do things other than build mega yachts or ginormous mansions he never sees.

1

u/woodnymph7890 16d ago

World leaders are choosing alternates to Starlink and The Boring Company has gone down almost 8%.

But say we give him credit for the money. He has still regularly creating multiple cases of conflicts of interest, as mentioned above. Fraud.

1

u/rllymndllss 17d ago

I dunno, maybe the coup he is implementing right now in the US government. Maybe, illegally firing thousands of federal workers. Ignoring court orders is also a good one. Enriching himself/companies with US contracts. Wiping government websites. Purchasing the Trump administration.

1

u/ralphrainwater 14d ago

I see Elon doing what private businesses do every day. My current employer is closing 1200 stores because they're losing millions every quarter. Discovering the vast sea of corruption financed by deficit spending is a net positive. Hardly a coup.

u/Ok-Aardvark-9938 14d ago

Well there you have it. If Musk said it wasn’t a nazi salute then surely it wasn’t a nazi salute. It was just a tic by a person who supports the neonazi party in Germany, and said public sector workers, not Hitler, were responsible for the deaths of millions of people in WWII.
