    Yeah. I’ve only spent a few moments skimming through the linked article but if you were part of a legitimate hacktivism group planning a significant operation why would you publish this statement ?

    It’s really just spooky hyperbole - as though written by an adolescent that want’s to sound scary and powerful.

    I would absolutely love to see hacktivists cause some chaos, and maybe even some real financial harm.

      The whole point is to being attention to the rise of fascism. Hacking without releasing a statement like this is just terrorism. Releasing a statement after hacking can make it easier for the govt to cover up, like “no we weren’t hacked, someone in our server room just accidentally tripped over a power cable”
