I am tired of seeing it and tired of hearing about it. If I knew Anonymous’s phone number I would call them but I don’t . I just want to be a person like them when they took down child porn rings except this time it is Nazi’s and all that entails

Not to be a clit but I surf wiki on a daily basis …Lately I have been going through all the middle eastern stuff and terrorist grups from abroad. Probably the FBI or NSA will be on my case but as long as I read something that gives me knowleged I am all for it.

It’s the childlike misunderstanding of hacking and the right wing. Your IWTL may as well have been something like “I’m really fired up about all the misogyny in the world! I want to learn nunchucks so I can stop all the misogyny! If I can learn a nunchuck trick or two I can get rid of all the misogyny.” Hacking isn’t like the movies. In real life, hacking consists of a thousand separate computer related skills and a few dozen liberally applied social skills. “Anonymous” isn’t a super hacker, it’s literally anonymity that random hackers have hidden behind in the past. It’s not an organization you can join. It’s just randos, like the rest of the Internet.

At your level, trying to learn to ““hack”” is like a couch potato deciding he wants to get into the Olympics. Even if you were the world’s best hacker, there’s not much that you could do to stop Nazis from Nazi-ing. Keep reading wikis, but don’t expect this line of inquiry to bear fruit fast or to pay off in the ways you seem to expect.
