Yesterday, a video posted by Anonymous announced that the hacktivist entity has declared “total war” on Donald Trump, the possibly computer-semiliterate Republican front runner. This is the shadowy cyberactivists’ latest vow to annihilate a formidable enemy—an expanding list of foes that includes terrorist groups, multinational corporations, several countries, and an Australian bowhunter who was killing cats.

So far, the vast majority of Anonymous’ targets have survived the much-hyped digital onslaught. As The Hill notes, the newest opening of hostilities with Trump follows a similar declaration last year that “never made much of an impact.” 

Here are more than 40 targets that Anonymous members—and eager headline writers—have claimed it has “declared war on”:

The Ku Klux Klan

ISIS

Syrian government websites

Terrorist websites

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood

Jihad

The US government

The UK government

Police

Cincinnati police

Hong Kong police

Thai police

The Thai junta
