If posting BS on the internet was not anonymous, much of the BS would cease.

That is actually part of their plan for taking back control of the internet. Non-anonymous posting would allow them to use all their social controls (job pressure, public shaming, threatening your family members, and many other means) to stop the flow of information that wakes people up to what is going on. They screwed up bigtime by not taking the net under control when it first appeared on the scene and that action was still possible.
