“So sayeth the poster on an anonymous internet forum.”

Have you ever thought about asking me who I am?

I think the only ones who actually hide here are Democratic Underground moles, and similar types.

“Have you ever thought about asking me who I am?”

Hey, I’m not trying to say that you’re a hypocrite, I’m just saying that it’s ironic to argue against privacy using a nominally private medium. Sure, you might tell me who you are if I asked, but the guy in the mask might take it off if you asked him to also. Either way, you are both wearing masks of a sort, whether you are willing to unmask yourselves on demand or not.

“I think the only ones who actually hide here are Democratic Underground moles, and similar types.”

Nah, there are plenty of people who would rather keep their identities here from being public knowledge. Folks who work in government, media, or other industries where their conservative views could be a liability. I personally wouldn’t disclose my identity here because you never know who will someday want to dig up information about you on the internet and use it against you. Maybe when you are applying for a job, mortgage, or scholarship. Maybe you will get passed over for that promotion. You just never know.

“You’re just a middle class, socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And you tell me that we’ve got to get back
To the struggling masses (whoever they are)
You talk, talk, talk about suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain?”

Hmmm, when you put it that way, I can almost see why this “movement” is appealing to them. I mean, we’ve all got to blow off steam somehow, and it does look like the government would rather you do it by throwing a little riot than by having 2 beers at the bar after work and then driving home.

Good. Then you know I don’t really think of you as being an obnoxious bore either.

“Nah, there are plenty of people who would rather keep their identities here from being public knowledge.”

Prove it.

Communists and anarchists can’t speak without a mask on because they’re criminals.

Anyway, criticizing them for being too cowardly to show their faces is not a violation of their right to free speech.

This could be great material for a Tru TV eposide of World’s Dumbest Occupiers.

The USA, a country of the lawyers, by the lawyers, and for the lawyers. You have a right to a risk free life. 1000s of laws are created every year so that they might feast off the victims and perps equally.

Isn’t that in Nancy Pelosi’s district?

I bet “Stretch” Pelosi is still proud of them.

It really shouldn’t need to be proven. I think it’s common knowledge that there have been quite a few celebrities, for example, that frequented FR, and the only one that I know who did so under their own name was Tony Snow. Why were the rest of them hiding? Were they plotting to undermine the country?

Is the country of laws? Yes, multiple sets even. One set for the peons, and one set for the connected and the celebrities.
