My real name is Ben Royce.

@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.

@davidtheeviloverlord @bweller @benroyce What about a name like Trump.Also unlikely to be real

@thierry_van_kerm@mastodon.social
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@nikatjef Really!!! I thought, it was in fact Donald Pinocchio Tramp

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

A stupid idea indeed, and handles and nicknames are also real names.
Btw the biggest political and economical terrorist Donald J. Trump is using his real name.
#Merz’s call does not solve any real world problem. It only adds to government control, decrease of personal safety and suppression of free speech.

@davidtheeviloverlord
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.

I, too, wish that Merz would fuck off. But alas, I seem to be in the minority among Germans.

@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.
