Oddbean new post about login | logout The everyone part hits hard. Besides publishing anonymously, in the past it was common practice to hire town criers to spread your bullshit and if applicable take the heat for it away from you. These days such mechanism exists in the form of mass media, narrowly controlled paid for people with strong opinions and masked almost as a life saving utility. Taking away the anonymity from simple people is just leaving more power for the top1%. Is it an accounted for outcome or just a side effect? I don't care, you're being a tool in the end.
its why things like that ofcom law in the uk are being done, effectively making encryption illegal, they dont want any privacy so they can target people orwell wrote about this, dangerous times, not a time to play by any rules they want
These faggots over there already have twitter police and criminal conviction of thought crimes on the internet. Not what you typically would think of criminal, just "hate speech".
its coming everywhere
france is deporting people for speech now
Yep, during covid there was a slew of UN mandated freedom, mainly speech, limiting laws across member nations. Just to make sure you know it's not spontaneous occurrence of willing do gooders, it's coming top down. Just like the lockdowns from WHOres, another UN institution.
Yeah because the people are letting them get away with it. People like you who not only refuse to stand up, but are insulting people encouraging them to do so. Man, if I were part of the State, I’d want everyone to be terrified of my and hiding behind nyms, afraid at any second I was going to jail them. Keep up the fear mongering, you’re definitely winning!

you are encouraging people to wear yellow stars while the feds are targeting conservatives as domestic terrorists
You really are deranged by anything Jew-related, aren’t you? Yellow stars were required. I am talking about voluntarily standing up for your fucking right to say what you believe under your own name as is enshrined in the First Amendment of the US consutition and as is championed by any free country. And you do so knowing it might bother someone, that theoretically some govt might target you specifically (though it’s unlikely) because you think some things are worth taking a risk for, things like free speech rather than the dystopian shit hole the WEF has planned. I mean FFS, you’re always going on about “the jews” — and how we need to hide behind our handles because the state will get us. This exactly the type of thinking I want my adversaries to have if I’m the State. Divisive and afraid of what I might do. The last thing I’d want is people of uncommon ancestry to courageously make common cause.

anyone would think i was farming a lolcow
@Chris Liss @mrclownworld @ToxicFemininity @StephanGuy @white_male Part of the 1st ammendment right is to speak anonymously, because retribution including by the government has always been a problem. In theory you have a right, in practice you might sit in a cell for years awaiting trial.
government rarely apply laws evenly
@StephanGuy @mrclownworld @Chris Liss @ToxicFemininity @white_male Especially lately, this administration has been particularly bad im regard to persecuting dissent.
It's world wide, or 1st world wide, UN pushes mechanisms for this persecution into legislation of member states.
@white_male @StephanGuy @mrclownworld @Chris Liss @ToxicFemininity Obviously persecution over speech is worse in the EU and UK, nobody should post under their real names over there under any circumstance. #FreeMrBond
what about fag posting in arab nations?
@StephanGuy @mrclownworld @Chris Liss @ToxicFemininity @white_male Don't post about your crimes is generally good advice no matter where you are.
Indigenous, religious drive. We complain about foreign, ideological mandates.
@white_male @StephanGuy @mrclownworld @Chris Liss @ToxicFemininity I complain about all mandates because freedom is neat. If someone tries to tell me what to do, I generally assume they have bad ideas and like watching their spouse fuck other people.
1st priority, your own backyard, after that we can get back to civilizing the world. K?
just making a point that totalitarians are everywhere
i think this accurately portrays op
@StephanGuy @mrclownworld @Chris Liss @ToxicFemininity @white_male That's not unlikely, most of the boomers I've known are into that sort of thing. I've met a lot of people with OP's takes, they just dont understand how dangerous and totalitarian the liberals have become.
No one is arguing you are not allowed to speak anonymously. I am simply discouraging it. Where people speak with their names attached without fear, no one gets put in a cell for it, and those who try to put them in a cell would be the ones who need to fear.
De anonymization is basically putting stars on people.
anyone can parse the db and assign them
