Anytime I see something about "Anonymous" I just assume it's some kind of fed psyop until proven otherwise.

So you'll go to your grave believing it because all the proof in the world will just be fake news
In this case? Yeah, probably. If there was proof of their identity they would no longer be anonymous, would they?
It's a much more reasonable assumption than how your lot assumes anyone who disagrees with you for any reason is a Russian bot, and can't be convinced by any amount of proof otherwise.
I will believe it when I see it this is likely just talk.
Anonymous, if you are going to do it, PLEASE make sure to leave the innocent people alone and go after the rich assholes that are doing this.
Other than that, here's my axe, go wild
Here is my 4 laptops, loaded up loic, give me ip, we roll
slow loris was a lot better that loic… i heard…
No one is innocent here.
Aren’t they kind of notorious for empty promises?
Its more of a chaos entity. Because anyone can be a part of it with literally no steps other than saying "I am Anonymous", anyone can say or do anything. As a result, one person or group may claim Anonymous while doing a legitimate hack, while another person who is just a script kiddie won't ever actually do anything and you get this hot and cold, will they won't they effect as a result.
Sounds like ISIS. Lots of people claiming to be members.
Getting attention is a big part of it
Then do it
Hacker fashion tip: while wearing your guy fox mask, match it with a Luigi hat.

Can they do something useful like destroy the debt infrastructure and delete all student loans and medical bills?
Spoiler
You've been watching too much Mr. Robot.
Tap for spoiler
Or fight club
A more useful thing would be to do as much damage to Twitter as possible. In fact, why they haven't attacked Twitter while Musk has been disarming all of its safety protocols is fucking beyond me.
Attacking twitter would be more useful than deleting all debt? I mean go wild, take that shit ass site down but if you had a "delete twitter" button and a "delete all debt" button, mashing the second one would make you the greatest hero who ever lived.
Debt is monitored/store by many different companies
Even if you took down all data of x health insurance company it would still exist in other places
So I would say that it poses a bigger challenge and you would have to do it at roughly the same time
Sure. Yeah its very hypothetical and silly. As if the Banks that manage national and international money supplies, since most of their managed assets are debt, haven't thought of it? So no such button exists, whereas there might be a delete twitter button somewhere or one could be rigged up 👀
You're right, What if they publish cheat codes for all Steam games, thus freeing humanity from corporate exploitation???!!!
Is such a utopia possible?
If enough freedom fighters have the guts to post enough memes, there's no limit to what we can achieve.

My final semester in American Sign Language was "Sex, Drugs, and Profanity," and most of the signs are just exactly what you'd guess. (I held on to those textbooks.) Plus, facial expressions are a big part of the grammar of the language. I don't recognize this scene, but assuming it's from a comedy - it's probably also not far off from accurate.
It's from the 1982 film Airplane 2: the Sequel. Nowhere near as funny as the original, but still very funny.
