    My real name is Ben Royce. I frequently shoot my mouth off on Mastodon. I do not fucking care

    That's a luxury not a lot of people have

    Some are trans

    Some are in sensitive domestic or work situations

    Some are exploring themselves and want to be free of humiliation and regret if they fuck up and need to go dark

    Lots of valid reasons for anonymity

    And so no Mr. #Merz, that's terrible idea, fuck off

      @benroyce Some of the most vile shit I've seen on social media has been from people using their real names

        @benroyce You are absolutely correct.

        I wish someone with more journalistic clout than me would draw attention to the fact that Jeffrey Epstein (With his links to Palantir, Steve Bannon, and Israeli Intelligence) was also on the Trilateral Commission, an anti-democratic think tank.

        Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz & Mark Carney have also been TriCom members. And, Lo!, their policies increasingly align with Palantir, Bannon, and Israel.

        It seems like this should be worth someone’s attention; especially in the UK, Germany, and Canada.

          If only Donald Turnip was fake, nothing more than a figment of the fevered imagination of some hack writer.

          Wait. I believe his family changed their surname from the original German surname Drumpf. His name is as fake as his business acumen!

            I remember reading that a lot of native Americans were suspended from Farcebook because they were accused of using names that weren't real.

            They were real. Farcebook just couldn't believe real people had surnames like Littlewolf or Runninghorse or Snowowl.

            Was that really about having no real names?

              I suspect it was more about racism.

              A refusal to believe that names unknown in their own culture could actually be valid in another culture.

              And an unwillingness to learn about other cultures.

                        @benroyce there sciantific research what is essentials for democracy, and it's whistleblowers. So corrupt politicians know it too. The reason why they pushing user control - it's fear.

                              I really admire people like you who are opposed to such unfair acts. Racism itself won't end because the racists guve birth to children and influence them to be racists. But we can minimise it if we join the efforts against the common cause. Do people know that Racism didn't end but simply evolved?

                                    @benroyce Thank you very much for this Ben. Of course the title and the name shown here aren't real. Why not?

                                    Usually I'm an extremely transparent person. But I live, in another country to the one I was born and grew up in; in a very rural, low pop. area, and my real name is distinctly foreign, thus easily traceable. I used the name first on Twitter in 2009 (to protect my family) because I'd read how discourse there could be brutal, and I've grown to like it.

                                    Merz is dead wrong here.

                                          Not really unlikely as Chump's real last name is Drumpf. His father changed it, illegally mind you, when he illegally immigrated to the US
