Will racism ever come to an end?@nuwagaba2 @davidtheeviloverlord I really doubt it. I'm not saying that to condone it but in my point of view, racism comes from humans and as long as humans exists, there will always be an us versus them mentality. And that's what racism is, whatever forms it takes whether it's violence, discrimination or other, as long as that exist, so will racism. And I say this as a victim of it.
I really hope I'm wrong though. Truly.

My real name is Ben Royce. I frequently shoot my mouth off on Mastodon. I don't fucking care
That's a luxury many people don't have
Some are trans and live in the USA
Some are in sensitive domestic or work situations
Some are exploring themselves and don't want humiliation or regret following them if they fuck up
Lots of valid reasons for #anonymity
So no Mr. #Merz, that's a stupid idea, fuck off

@benroyce I disagree with Merz. For the reasons you already mentioned. Also for youngsters who imho have the right to express their opinions, but should not be held accountable at any cost.

And Merz is a Blackrock creature through and through. When he has to choose between the interests of the American oligarchs and the interests of the German public, he will choose the former every time.
I think he might end up being the worst of the German post-WWII chancellors so far. He is precisely what Germany _doesn't_ need in this point of time.

@benroyce And likewise, my shit can also pop up in someone else's mind and perhaps someone may chase me with it. Nah, they probably skip it, for my shit was too silly, too stupid, hahaha!

@benroyce
Thank you Ben!
Mr. Friedrich Merz is a very frequent private jet flyer, appears to be a climate-crisis denier (fossil fuel addict), pro-genocider, and is, knowingly or not, paving the way for the fascists of AfD to grow bigger and win in Germany. Merz needs to go as soon as possible. More freedom and privacy to the people.Article in German about Merz' s private jet D-IAFM:
Privatflugzeug von CDU-Kanzlerkandidat: Wie Merz durch die Bundesrepublik flog
Alle paar Tage ist Friedrich Merzβ Privatflugzeug in den vergangenen Jahren gestartet. Das zeigt eine Datenanalyse der taz. Die Emissionen sind hoch.

@benroyce what's a "real" name?
that sounds like an arbitrary rule made up by a control freak
@bweller @benroyce as someone who finally legally changed name last year, and earlier struggled with hating own name whole life, for me main feature of the internet was possiblity to chose nicknames. Without that, I wouldn't see any sense to use that beyond just searching info needed at the moment - and I wouldn't have any channel for expression as socially isolated nerd.
