    We have the panama papers, so many names from the Epstein list, snowden and all sorts of leaks. At this point I’m a bit of a defeatist. Lost all hope for any positive meaningful change.

    I absolutely believe knowledge is vital and having it would be cool. But thats all it would be. Won’t translate to any meaningful change. What I presumed you had hoped by the hacks

      Not exactly - those were strategic hacks designed to sway public opinion and engage a legal enforcement apparatus that proved to be toothless.

      However, tactical hacks doxxing the rank and file combined with subsequent community action could have an enormous effect. Removing the masks of these thugs is key to protecting the innocents they’re targeting. After all, it’s our right as citizens to know who’s working for the government - we’re the ones paying their salaries.

      As I said in a previous comment in response to a statement similar to yours, know thy enemy, for he lives among us.

      Also, you posted this comment three times for some reason.

      I want the names and addresses of the fucking foot soldiers. I can’t fight some asshole listed by Epstein or the Panama Papers. I can get eyes on local gestapo.
