Anonymous #OpKKK: Hacktivists publish first batch of alleged Ku Klux Klan [W:321]

Nothing about this is okay. But quit pretending that the KKK has some moral high ground here.

Anonymous is saying in the release that this is a direct result of the KKK threatening "lethal force" against Ferguson protesters (which already have a violent and destructive background themselves... at least in part.) Now I will stipulate that the KKK mentioned as defense but that is dubious given their historical background, and the idea was an organization of response under the banner of an organization based on racism and secrecy.

Well, what Anonymous did was remove some of the secrecy as they usually do when it comes to one group threatening another.

as I noted, if they hack the Klan I hope the Klan wastes lots of them. The Klan and Anonymous are both groups we'd be better off without their existence

No. I'm saying the anonymous has a history of terrorizing people into following their party line. How about them shutting down the RCMP website? Or the joke was them supporting mike brown? How about their hacking of the Federal reserve? Attacking Israel on holocaust remembrance day? Hacking the Vatican.

Let's face it...anonymous is just another left wing terrorist organization.

Exactly
 
Re: Anonymous #OpKKK: Hacktivists publish first batch of alleged Ku Klux Klan contact

I'd be interested in knowing if any police, judges, or policy makers are KKK members. Beyond that I wouldn't care much, and certainly wouldn't shed a tear at their exposure.

same thing with ALF, anonymous or other left wing groups that engage in nastiness. I doubt someone can be a judge while being a member of the Klan-the intelligence requirement for most judges would prevent that

Historically this has not been the case.

Why are you reducing Anonymous's beef with the KKK to mere disagreement? They're not exposing the KKK because they "disagree" with it. They're exposing the KKK because it's a ****ing hate group.

The first amendment applies to hate groups too.

Exposing the KKK helps keep black families out of danger by exposing the very people who threaten black Americans and perpetuate hate against them under the protection of anonymity.

Exposing racists doesn't keep black families safe. It just puts racists and their families in potential danger.

ThePlayDrive said:
Do you honestly believe the KKK is at risk of begin attacked because their identities have been released. How is it that, in one instance, you argue that the people being threatened by the KKK are not in actual danger and then, in another instance, you argue that the people exposed by anonymous are in danger? Why are you more concerned about the safety of KKK members than the people they've threatened?
Click to expand...

Yes, I do believe releasing a list to identify individual racists puts them and their families in potential danger. Threats from anybody should be taken seriously, but what Anonymous did isn't an appropriate response. One bad thing does not justify another.

If it's not organized at all how does it continue to exist?

true. at one time, the Klan was sort of the refuge for the defeated officers of the CSA. later it became a settling point for the dregs of southern whites. invariably, the whites who yap the most about being "racially superior" are from the bottom of the white barrel

It doesn’t matter how much you agree with their purported motives, if they’re threatening people with some kind of harm unless those people do what Anonymous tells them too, they’re still terrorists. They might not be of the same level the KKK once was but that still doesn’t give them any moral high-ground to play judge, jury and executioner (indirectly, because they’re fundamentally cowards).

A waaaay different type of organization from Anonymous who are more interested in expose'. I have certainly never heard any type of hatred from Anonymous.

One of the things they routinely expose though is identification and location information of people, often people only slightly associated with whatever the actual target is meant to be. That is clearly intended to put those individuals in fear of (and often at real threat of) some form of attack.

And all this time, rigorously defending their own anonymity as if they’re somehow special because they have a computer, a few technical skills and a lot of free time.

Anonymous as an “organisation” which has carried out threats and harm in an attempt to force changes in political or corporate policy. How are they any less a terrorist organisation than the KKK is today?
And of course the irony in Anonymous publishing the identities of people allegedly in other organisations goes without saying.

Exactly. How do we know, and why should we trust, that this group which cares nothing about the law or privacy has not inaccurately identified people as members of the KKK?

Really? I thought that's what Lawrence vs. Texas and Roe vs. Wade were about - privacy. Just another double standard, people you don't like do not have a right to privacy, just the people you like.

Organizations like the KKK which people are afraid or ashamed to admit that they belong to are good organizations to stay far away from.

When was the last time the KKK hacked the federal reserve? You want to talk about threats to our national interest? The KKK is a much smaller threat. In fact...if you were talking about white supremacy and the dangers it posed...the KKK wouldn't even be the first group you would mention. You would mention the Aryan Brotherhood. You might even mention some biker gangs too.

As turtle said...let them kill each other. But don't act like anon is full of heroes.

Good job anon, you just made the Klan, not the bad guy this time.

Going after a soft target that says, "look at us, we're good guys, we're relevant."
Nope, you're douche bags, just like the Klan.
