Whether or not he's talented is irrelevant. He's an idiot for the same reason the thread OP stated he's an idiot: their actions cause more damage to their supposedly good-natured charities than the victims they stole money from. Not to mention the braggadocio, carelessness, lack of regard for his fellow "footsoldiers", and the haphazard way he conducts his attacks (be they physical or virtual) as to not even be effective at achieving any real results.
You want to smash the state? You want to end the tyrrany of capitalism? You want "freedom" ? Running around the streets in bandannas disabling vehicles and "fucking shit up" ain't gonna get you there buddy. Neither is stealing money from the majority of the people who used a service as a better-filtered newswire in the name of some hokey idea that the "security state" needs to be brought down.
He's a bully and a closed-minded bigot and he's too radical to ever be able to introduce any real change other than making the police remove more of our rights in order to combat people like him. He's a terrorist. And an idiot.

But that's just my opinion.
