when you say "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" in this context, you're effectively saying that terrorizing someone is an acceptable response to political speech or action.
we're getting off-track here because this isn't even about anarchism any more- that's counter to the 1st amendment- which is something i would hope we'd all agree on.past:

Everyone is intitled to their first amendment, doesn't mean your actions don't have consequences.
If I were to say I want to kill politician so and so and got caught I'd be looking for a new job. That's why I don't say stupid things.
If you want your message to be heard man up and don't hide. If you believe in your cause so much then you should be strong enough to not mask up. No one takes hidin g behind a mask serious

Except you likely haven't done something to warrant your employer firing you. Your employer fires you because your identity is exposed to hundreds if not thousands of vindictive individuals who find joy in harassing someone, and he simply cannot handle the onslaught of harassment coming his own and his businesses way.
You're going down the road of "if you have nothing to hide", and that is a terrible road to go down.

well, maybe put a little more effort into your reply next time, because i think it's fair to say that that six-word response left some room for interpretation.
my last 3 jobs have all required background checks and i've had security clearance as well.
as such, i'm not going to apologize for keeping my identity safe.past:

If people really believed in it they would go full bore, haven't seen much of that.

I see the point though. The Founding Fathers argument was the perfect description. The Join, or Die slogan in my avatar is exactly the thing we are talking about here: Ben Franklin created it well before the revolutionary war because, King George was going to kill anyone who disagreed with him so you might as well join. Plus, the Founding Fathers were VERY public and vocal. Some did write anonymously in the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers. But I am sure they had reason and not some perceived risk.Si vis pacem, para bellum.
