It's composed of a demographic that tends to lean anarcho-libertarian with a _very_ strong sense of justice and fairness, also coinciding with a demographic that tends to run most of the revolts/revolutions throughout history (men between 18-35). And is pretty much a subset of the 4chan demographic (which isn't too hard to get into/understand if you're a redditor; and who isn't a redditor these days?).
They aren't dangerous unless you're doing something wrong in their eyes: and while their evaluation of what is right is rather hazy, and their responses ranging from ineffective outrage to very disproportionate rage, I find it hard to condemn what is essentially a very democratic volunteer amassed group of people.
