Anonymous isn’t meaningless; it’s amorphous, which is the whole point. It’s not a movement or a name—it’s a void anyone can step into, wielding chaos as a weapon. That terrifies institutions built on predictability. Sure, it’s messy, but dismissing it outright ignores its potential to disrupt systems that thrive on control.
The emphasis wasn’t overused; it was deliberate. The propaganda circus? Real. Tech oligarchs colluding with politicians? Also real. If calling that out feels unhinged, maybe it’s because the world is unhinged, and pretending otherwise is the real insanity. Tinfoil hats? No. Just tired of people mistaking cynicism for clarity while the trash barge burns.
If that makes me sound mentally unwell, fine. At least I’m awake enough to notice the fire.
PS: tag me next time with @ so I can see your reply, almost missed it!
