Anonymous & Lulz Security Statement to the FBI

Fairly well phrased, although the arguments against 'corporations' and 'conglomerates' are fairly unsubstantial. (in the pastebin, that is, IRL is a different matter)

I certainly agree with their Goals and I see very similar flaws in many governments. I am not sure their way is the best way to make governments listen, but it certainly is one way that gets publicity. The issue with their publicity is that news networks do not broadcast their message, they broadcast their actions which in turn intimidates and scares the less tech-savvy portion of society. This does not achieve their goals, but they make a statement. A statement is better than no statement.

Their Twitter status from about half an hour ago is far more interesting:

I read "Lobby conglomerates who only follow their agenda to push the profits higher" and instantly pictured an executive somewhere rolling his eyes as he reads that.

I understand the feelings disgust with the current state of the system, and I get how in leu of an actual solution one would feel frustrated enough to act out in the ways that they have, but I stand firm in my belief that there is a better way of accomplishing the changes we/they want to see, even if nobody has figured out what that is yet.

Reminded a bit of V for Vendetta's speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EORflS7uEIc

And bit of John F. Kennedy:

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable

Who writes this stuff? It comes across as silly, hyperbolic, and even melodramatic, and detracts from the actual content.

Lulz: consider this constructive criticism. Take it down a notch.
