I don't understand how "Real Life" and "Real World" matter so much to these old white guys.The Internet is REAL.

@benroyce what's a "real" name?
that sounds like an arbitrary rule made up by a control freak
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.

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 he is on a run: he has talked about so many stupid, intolerant and even discriminating ideas that this guy became the worst chancellor we had so far. He is white, rich, privileged and old and has no clue what real life even means.

Never forget that he's still proud of his Nazi grandfather.
That's pretty much all it takes to know his worldview and ideology.
And yes, he fully knows that both German and the European court will take his appalling "demand" down.

@benroyce ooh i like it 🥰
the latter one
. i could call you the former, but it'd be undeserved*, and there are a lot of dipsticks deserving of being called out*though I take your point in contrast to being called Merz

@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.

@thierry_van_kerm @bweller @benroyce
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!

He's a puppet of the capital. His task is to deflect from anything that could harm the interests of the rich class.
And in that regard, he's not really different from all the other chancellors before him, just that his way of deflection strikes as being dumb to the extreme. That, however, fits with the current global trend among political leaders; in other words, capitalism breeds too many idiots in power.

@davidtheeviloverlord
Was that really about having no real names? -
@davidtheeviloverlord
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 People don't know my name when I'm walking outside either. That's a good thing.
