Can we please stop with all this Anonymous BS? The point of the 'movement' is that it's decentralised. 'Anonymous' can't write 'open letters'. This is just pathetic.

#12If I would be part of them, I would create a 3D-printer model of the mask and share that all over so people can organise their own distribution...
Or you know, papercraft the suckers, its not like there aren't papercraft versions of it. My roommate made me one.

#13The following quote is relevant here: “WOULD ANY SANE PERSON think dumpster diving would have stopped Hitler, or that composting would have ended slavery or brought about the eight-hour workday, or that chopping wood and carrying water would have gotten people out of Tsarist prisons, or that dancing naked around a fire would have helped put in place the Voting Rights Act of 1957 or the Civil Rights Act of 1964?

I think we are moving to a such world, albeit slowly.
3D printers are a movement in that direction, that ends with mini factories or replicators.
Replicators will be the death kneel of the factories.

#15People are too in love with the idea of seeing others get "nailed" for being hypocrites. All you have to do is say something that sounds vaguely clever or ironic in a snarky manner and people go "Ooooh, snap" even if it really makes not much sense. For instance: "Julian Assange of Wikileaks wants to protect his own privacy." "Ooooh, snap."

Sure it can. It just did. It can also write an angry letter to itself to say that it disagrees with the statement previously put out. Or are you trying to tell us that it's decentralised, except for the decision that people can't write open letters in their name, which is centralised with you?

#17"Unfortunate" is definitely the word for the fact that these masks that hold such great symbolism to Anonymous (and other groups) are owned by the companies that want to control the internet. So they've called out the media for using products by Foxconn, okay. What do they expect to come from that? I'm really not sure. The main thing I got from this is that we should find another mask, or face, for Anonymous and acti…
I guess ZoF has addressed your misunderstanding about mentioning Foxconn.
> The main thing I got from this is that we should find another mask, or face, for Anonymous and activism/protesting in general. One that maybe holds more significant value in freedom of mankind
The write-up already quotes “Wear anything you want to #MillionMaskMarch, including Guy Fawkes. We just want people to be conscious about their consumer choices.”
Do you want something free of copyright? Cut out a circle from thick paper, poke holes for eyes and nose, draw a smiley, attach a band, and wear it.

Then why now, with all the world at stake, do so many people retreat into these entirely personal “solutions”?"
Now what kind of fucking straw man is this?

#19The masks represent:
Unity
Equality
Struggle against oppression
That is all. Fuck warner brothers
Guy Fawkes was the only person to enter the houses of parliament with honourable intentions
