A bunch of pissed off people angry at something, could spontaneously unify over uncontrolled social media, spanning multiple jurisdictions, or even countries, to achieve some form of goal.
No central leader, no easy to break it up like riot, just people sharing an idea.
It's a geopolitical nightmare and redefines "Power" and though 4chan was doing it mostly for fun, moot intervened anyway to keep the heat off his back.

Anonymous was made gay solely because it represented a spontaneous assembly utilizing cyber talent.
