We are all Anonymous

We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We are everywhere and anywhere. We are gay in Texas, black in 1950s Selma, Basque separatists in Spain, Kurdish  in Iraq and Syria, an anarchist in France, a Palestinian in Israel, a dissident Chinese blogger, a Gypsy in Poland, an Inuit in Nunavut, a hackivist in the UK, a single woman on the Metro at 2am, a peasant without land, an Occupier in Zuccotti Park, a gang member in the slums, the boy in the cafeteria sitting alone, a protestor in Egypt, a child soldier in Somalia, an unhappy student drowning in debt, a family foreclosed upon, and of course, you.

We are all exploited, marginalized, and oppressed minorities who feel the fire of rebellion in their hearts and rise up to resist and alter the status quo. We are every disenfranchised person who is waking up to find that yes, he has worth and deserves more out of life. We are every majority that must now be silent and listen to the message of dissatisfaction thrust before us on the global stage. We are every movement and rebellion channeling its energy into action. The nagging fear of reprisal, the Cimmerian thoughts that keep those in power awake at night and disquieted, the sword hanging by a thread above the heads of tyrants – this is all Anonymous.
