That is all fun and games under the rationalization of easy, naive moralizing.

Now, if they take down censorship in China or targeted a similar actual oppressive regime instead of going after easy targets, then they'd have my respect.

For example, their attack on Scientology is something I respect, but that was only shortlived since Scientology is actually bad and will cause Anon significant damage.

So, as we can see, it is actually just for the lulz and not a higher ideal.

One can have high ideals without necessarily being brave or persistent in the pursuit of those ideals.

But then they aren't worth praising, especially if their "pursuit" of said ideals harms people's lives needlessly.
