They've demonstrated while showing their faces and carrying banners of established political organisations. That takes more balls and commitment than putting on a mask and shouting stuff. Do you really think a few kids wearing stupid masks are going to change things if people who actually know what they're doing can't?
Anonymous seems to have no overarching message other than 'Yeah. Fuck the government!' What solutions or alternatives is anonymous offering? You can't change something if you don't know what it is that you're fighting or what you're suggesting instead. It comes back to it not being a 'protest', more a bunch of entitled idiots shouting random demands.There's a sense of self-importance and arrogance, and then there's your typical 'Anonymous' member's sense of self-importance and arrogance.

QUOTE: "There are active political movements which aren't based on dressing up in silly masks and annoying people, but which actually make a difference to the political landscape." No there are not! The trade unions and the established Labour movement have failed to change anything since the Tories got re-eclected in 2010! See this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYbZbhRsKrg
Millions of people across the country have demonstrated against government austerity cuts since 2010 but have been totally ignored as the government plough on with mass privatisation and mass austerity cuts to public services! Anonymous and its more militant forms of action are the new way forward as the parties of the past have failed time and time again.
