  1. Anonymous is not a group. Many of us form groups, but Anonymous is not about groups.
  2. Anonymous is not a hacker collective. Many of us hack, but Anonymous is not about hacking.
  3. Anonymous does not live on the Internet. Many of us meet and communicate online, but Anonymous is not just about the Internet.
  4.  
  5. Anonymous is a movement. An idea. A meme. Over years and years, it has grown and matured: beginning like an immature child, pulling pranks and causing chaos with no rhyme or reason; then becoming a formidable activist movement, devoted to the freedom of information and anti-censorship.
  6.  
  7. And lately, as global society begins to collapse, with the legitimacy of our leaders and institutions eroding every day, Anonymous is growing once more, its purpose becoming clearer and further realized.
  8.  
  9. Many Anons hide our identities, but Anonymous is not about hiding. We hide our names and our faces because they are irrelevant.
  10.  
  11. Names are a distraction from the words we say, and the actions we take. They are, at best, a nuisance, and at worst, a serious danger to human thinking. This is why Anonymous does not support politicians. We do not support parties. We do not support named ideologies. We do not support cults, be they cults of dogma or of personality.
  12.  
  13. We don't want to know your name. We don't want to know if you are a liberal, a conservative, a capitalist, a communist, a socialist, a fascist, an anarchist, a green, or whatever. All we care about is whether we like the things that you say, and the things that you do.
  14.  
  15. So from time to time, some of us may remove our masks, or let our identities slip. But we will still be Anonymous. For we have surrendered our egos, and ignore the egos of others.
  16.  
  17. We are Anonymous, people who have freed our minds from the tyranny of names.
  18.  
  19. One could argue, isn't Anonymous just another name? To which we say: it is the anti-name. The name to end all names.
