yes, especially the youngsters
imagine if you or i had to deal with the stupid shit we said decades ago following us around for the rest of our lives
@benroyce Yeah... sometimes it pops up in my mind for half a second.
-
going back to our recent discussion:
these predicaments we find ourselves in is because of money
it warps everything
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!

that's what kids these days are facing in their lives ahead

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
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 Merzโ 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.

@benroyce No coincidence that a majority of those pushing for full names online are in positions of some power and influence - whether through being prominent experts in their fields, tenured professors, media figures, politicians, journalists, thought leaders, or whatever - which insulates them to some extent from coordinated campaigns of abuse and harassment.
Others can have their livelihoods destroyed by malicious actors, be targeted by autocratic regimes, are victims of stalkers, etc.

That is still very very friendly. In Hitchcocks "North by Northwest" Cary Grants mother says about her son: "Well, he's a genuine idiot".
The german say: "Not all men are idiots. Some are full idiots" - Nicht alle Mรคnner sind Idioten. Manche sind Vollidioten.

@benroyce For privacy and security reason it's better to be as anonymous on internet as possible, I don't want to be harassed in real life if someone doesn't like me online.

More like Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse.
America had Walt Disney, we had Marten Toonder. His main characters were Tom Poes and Olivier B. Bommel but my personal favorite has always been Plukkie Panda.
