Robbin' Hoodlums - Hackers vs Isis

So, I'm supposed to clap my hands because hacker assholes are playing Internet games with ISIS assholes?

To me they're the same in philosophy.

They both are power mad bullies. They both get their kicks from being control freaks that everyone fears.

There is a big, big difference between a vigilante and a vigilasshole.

THIS is news: that Anonymous "takes responsibility" for hacking a bunch of Twitter accounts and fucking up a few e-mails. Oooh! Why IS the media bothering to report this lame-ass shit?

Dig that? "You will be treated like a virus and we are the cure. WE OWN THE INTERNET."

Either way, we're dealing with comic book villains and anti-social maniacs. You can't tell the Little Hitlers without a scorecard. They're interchangeable.

What's all this, then? We're supposed to cheer because some pimply kids have shut off a few Twitter pages by rudimentary password games? This has been a game-changer? The leaders of ISIS, who don't give a shit about Jordan killing thousands of their fighters, are surrendering? I haven't read: "We give up, hackers have pulled some of our tweets."

What the hackers do is self-serving, cowardly, against freedom of speech, and childishly inept.

You do "denial of service" to some raghead's website? So? You also did it to Gene Simmons because he spoke out against your brattish stealing of his music. You're still wastes of space.

What if the government, the REAL big boys were monitoring those websites and Twitter accounts so they could amass clues and put together lists of people to keep under surveillance and people to arrest?

Yes, we all know ISIS or ISIL or Hamas or Hezbollah are violent fuckheads, but I don't see some British teenager stopping this by knocking off some idiot's Twitter account or Farcebook page. How naive does it get?

The only reason Anonymous even exists is because they're not taken seriously, and Internet law isn't severe with jerky crimes like "denial of service" or pranking, spoofing pfishing, etc. etc.

ISIS is getting their messages out in secret chat rooms and gosh, by simply recruiting maniacs off the street. This crap of shutting down a few Twitter accounts isn't really important news at all.

I'm all for vigilantes. I've been one and I will continue to be one. Sometimes you DO have to take the law into your own hands, because the cops don't give a shit, or the politicians are corrupt, or because your message to a lawbreaker only works if that prick understands that the price he'll pay for keeping on being a prick will be equal or worse than his crime.

But unless Anonymous breaks into a British jail and beheads the pricks who killed a soldier or bombed a bus, no. They do not impress me.

Hacking a Twitter account for ISIS one day, and going back to do it to Taylor Swift or Emma Watson the next?

Meanwhile these stories about ISIS threats and Anonymous threats go on and on. The media plays into it every time. Why? Because that's how they make money, that's why. We don't check the news if the headlines aren't screaming about shit, and making it seem vital that we read all about it.

So the media actually pumps up hacker idiots, too. Something called "Anonymous" which could be three morons in their underwear, gets legitimized by the media. All it takes is flooding social media.

And so it goes, with terrorist groups flourishing, and every day a new report of "hackers stole all the data from this bank website, and all the credit card numbers from that supermarket chain, and all the social security numbers from a bunch of hospitals." And here we are, stuck in the middle, our lives made miserable and less secure by the second, while power-mad punks do as they please.

Who has stopped ISIS? Anonymous hasn't. Who has stopped Anonymous? ISIS hasn't.

This toilet we call a world would be a little better off without either of these shitpiles stopping it up.
