When someone is anonymous, it opens the door to all kinds of antisocial behavior, as seen by the Ku Klux Klan.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is something very freeing about being anonymous because nothing is expected of you; nothing is getting back to anyone, and no one cares.
People know about the Klan and the overt racism, but the killing of one's soul little by little, day after day, is a lot worse than someone coming in your house and lynching you.
When writing on black life, whites have often been unwelcome, usually called upon to give witness or hauled in as the accused.
Seeing Anonymous primarily as a cybersecurity threat is like analyzing the breadth of the antiwar movement and 1960s counterculture by focusing only on the Weathermen.
The Klan had used fear, intimidation and murder to brutally oppress over African-Americans who sought justice and equality and it sought to respond to the young workers of the civil rights movement in Mississippi in the same way.
Obviously you don't want to be anonymous, but you don't want everyone to know your life.
Anti-social behaviour still blights lives, wrecks communities and provides a pathway to criminality.
I'm antisocial - there's no question about it.
I'm not quite as anonymous as I was.
It's that anonymous person who meanders through the streets and feels what's happening there, feels the pulse of the people, who's able to create.
