@mynameistillian @mhoye It's a norm here in the US where we provide ID for all sorts of things.
@FlashMobOfOne @mhoye and who does that norm benefit?

@FlashMobOfOne @charogg when people say that Americans are the most propagandized people on earth it’s because of conversations like this one.

@dalias It looks like none of that is working. ICE is rounding up anyone they want in the US. Iran is crushing protests. Syria? Egypt? China? Russia? Where has social media helped society in public discourse? It's leading to death everywhere. It's a complete failure in every way possible.
So I can't support the status quo.
@txtx "It's not working so let's try more fascism!" is the brainworms of lots of voters. And it's always an utterly horrible idea.

@FlashMobOfOne @mhoye nor should we make this practice a norm
@FlashMobOfOne @mhoye also, just because USA has willingly given up its privacy, doesn't mean the rest of the world should comply.

@dalias So calling me a brainwormed fascist, this is what you use anonymity for? Really nice. Great argument.
