Anyone can claim to be part of Anonymous, that's kind of the point. It's not an official group with representatives or any kind of official viewpoints. All you need to do is say you're part of Anonymous and that's it, no 'larping' required.
I think the larping is actually mandatory if you want to pose as Anonymous.
Anonymous is a meme in itself. Claiming "these are not the real Anonymous" is playing into the meme.

100% correct. This has been the case since sometime around Occupy Wall Street when various accounts related to Operation Clambake/Scientology anons were given away to a completely cringey set of pro-globalist ideologues who want to pretend they're the same group of people for the supposed clout. Anyone actually familiar just finds it embarrassing.
There is no one Anonymous, just like there is no one "antifa" or one "black lives matter"; it's a movement, a conviction, not an organized entity.
I mean who is the leader of anonymous? Who is the leader of "antifa"? BLM?
TL;DR you don't really get internet trolls / anarchists / unorganized entities operating under a shared name.
So you're saying Anonymous IS someone's personal army, and that this contradicts the rules of that personal army's conduct?
Big if true.

Yeah... This is not Anonymous. This is a bunch of people larping as them.
