The link you posted was of an organised event just like the anti-austerity protests and Stop the War protests carried out in recent years, organised by trade unions, the SWP and students. They're a different thing entirely to a bunch of idiots wearing masks.
If well organised protests by people whose job it is to fight for social justice can't change things, then how on earth do you suppose young men wearing silly masks are going to? Honestly, the levels of arrogance and delusion are just unbelievable.
I think the most frustrating thing is that you seem to think we're all living in the dark ('sheeple', you may say), and that you are somehow opening our eyes to the cruelty of the world. This is precisely the problem with anonymous - the whole theme is one of smugness and 'wake up sheeple' that suggests to me that they need to spend less time on the internet and more time actually talking to people. They might realise then that normal people are well aware of what is happening in this country and are angry about it, they just choose other ways to try and change it.
