people posting comments online with their real name, smh
sad to say it because these people absolutely don't deserve the consequences from a moral point of view, but from a practical point of view this is how mfs learn to value their privacy.
freedom of speech doesn't protect itself.
freedom of speech is between government and individuals, if i post "Kirk's death is a good thing" on LinkedIn and bellow me is my employer's logo, they are free to fire me, since that's not how they want to be represented
thanks clarence
I am private about a lot. This is something that I am proud to stand up against. Kirk was a shitty person. We shouldn't, we cannot, let them intimidate us.
If we want freedom of speech, we cannot afford to hide our words behind anonymity.
Political comments! For most sites I have two accounts - one for totally uncontroversial stuff with my real name and one where I am free to laugh about a dickhead who thought a few gun deaths being worth it, getting assassinated with a rifle.
I've heard some of this is from pseudo-anonymous accounts, e.g., your account has a rando username but there are some people irl who know it's you, and might take offense
This is a weird take for me. Keyboard warriors who hide behind an alias while decrying political violence.
Hiding who you are only lends credence that your views are unacceptable. That database should be so fucking large that it is almost unacceptable not to be in it.
So is bryg philomena your birth name?
Nope, but it's the handle I've used for over a decade and easily linked to my real identity.
This list is intimidation. It's a form of censorship, and one we should have the courage to tell them to shove up their ass.
