I posted this in myGaming but I thought you guys would be interested here as well. I suspect we're being trolled but the facebook group is already growing some momentum.
 
I searched the forum and couldn't find it. They mention Andries Tatane so it can't be from two weeks.
 
Pipe dream. The greatest threat to any revolution is the dissemination of information, it can't be helped as the revolutionaries need to convey plans to their supporters. At that point the powers being ousted will have prior knowledge of the event and formulate countermeasures. The government also has control over the military, which they can use legitimately against any revolution (see Libya). If the revolutionaries have supporters in the military and use them, it then becomes a coup, different rule book. The video speaks of corporations raping our resources, what make these people (the revolutionary's) think they (the corporations) would not use mercenary army's to defend their billion $ vested interests. 100 million buys a lot of assault rifles, ammo, RPG 7's ect, just look at what an impact small company's like Blackwater have had in Iraq.
 
Once the masses have destroyed the evil corporations and evil government they will need to replace them with new evil corporations and a new evil government. Oh well.

This is my problem with the Zeitgeist movies.
 
This was done by a South African. Virtually no Europeans or Americans that I have encountered have been familiar with the term 'coloured', only black, white, coloured and indian are included in that video whilst other ethnicities such as asians are ignored, the way they are generally ignored in SA.

"Country: South Africa"

Whoever this guy is, I sincerely doubt he's part of the 'anonymous' group, it's simply someone trying to ride on the popularity of the group and/or perform some trolling by drawing attention to themselves for their 15 minutes of fame.

That video is also hilarious for its failure. "2011... when the class divide reached its zenith... when the number of murdered innocents peaked that of the warzone of the century (Iraq)... 18 thousand murders per year is Genocide... 12 million jobless and 25 million on minimum wage is a crime against humanity... 12 million HIV positive is a moral disaster... this is a call to coordinated action to take our country back... from the bloodsucking corporations... from the corrupt politicians..."

1. For the class divide to have reached "its zenith"; 2011 is not yet finished, the divide can grow even further during this year, so making a claim as to it having reached its 'zenith' during 2011 is silly to do
2. War zone deaths do not take into account deaths attributed to crime, so comparing crime related deaths and war related deaths is silly to do, as crime can easily outweigh the deaths incurred by a war (tip: wars these days are largely fought through subversion, more often than not inflicted by means that do not necessarily include human deaths) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_theory - if you can bring a country's people to rise up against its own government for its injustices, you can win a war without the need for eradicating the nation's people - as patriotic as Americans may consider themselves, a massive percentage of that very same country that would do anything to protect their country would just as quickly turn against their government if they deemed their government reckless or unjust in their activities; examples of this can be found in how many of its people are dissatisfied with America's constant involvement in the affairs of other nations, putting their family's lives at risk to achieve the government's own goals
3. 18 thousand (largely unrelated) murders per year is not 'genocide'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide <- this is genocide.
4. 12 million jobless and 25 million on minimum wage is not a crime against humanity. People going forth and multiplying their numbers with reckless abandon, without care for their own futures nor those of the children they are giving birth to, is a crime against humanity. You cannot expect any country in the world to accommodate an exponential growth in population where that country itself has a limited capacity to compete and trade on the international marketplace, and as such you cannot accommodate those too stupid, ignorant or selfish to understand that just because they have children does not automatically mean they will be provided for. Furthermore, if minimum wage is that much of a concern to the people that are 'suffering' it, they would become entrepreneurs and understand that the work they might want to do is not necessarily the work that will benefit them nor their community the most. Unfortunately, those very same people are driven by money and greed, not by a desire to improve their country nor the living conditions of those around them.
5. This is a call to coordinated action? Exactly how do you intend to 'call to coordinated action' a nation that is so full of apathetic idiots? Anyone can complain, not just anyone can actually do something. Standing up against your police and government does not automatically mean you will succeed in your goals, and 'coordinating' such an effort does not automatically mean your revolt will be met with success. If it were possible, then a country such as Zimbabwe would not be in the situation it finds itself in now. Imagine the utter chaos that would occur if the portion of the nation so dissatisfied with their current situation had to go up against our government right now, namely the ANC. Look at the numbers and look at the mentalities driving those sociopolitical groups. A revolt at this point in our country's history would do nothing but destroy it.
6. Bloodsucking corporations? Either I've been living under a massive rock, or someone has been watching far too many zeitgeist movement flashes.
7. Those politicians were voted into their positions by the majority. The very same majority highlighted in #4

These videos look like they were made by some teen that's really just been watching far too many zeitgeist movement flashes on 4chan, and that thinks he can become some kind of hero, but needs to hide behind a mask and pseudonym in order to do so, not realizing that by doing so he in fact does nothing.

Newsflash to this fake anon: South Africa is a democratic country.
Why would anon be interested in us at all? We're pretty much OK in terms of not oppressing our people and not committing human rights violations.
 
Yes, remember Egypt, Libya and Bahrain? Those guys have it bad. We're fine compared to them.

Are we now? Hmmm mass protests, police shooting unarmed civilians on live tv.
Massive corruption. Massive service delivery issues.
Failing infrastructure. Cost of living going through the roof.
Unemployment. The list goes on
