Man up and say what you want to say. None of this weakling passive aggressive quoting a line from the article like we're supposed to believe that makes it a smoking gun.

If you think it's a defensible position that the only people who can have a legitmate opinion on this topic are the hypothetical pure neutrals who don't affiliate with any party, make it yourself and stand by it.

IDK how we solve this without some serious regulatory changes and the backing awareness and political will.

An “a scanner darkly” approach could be kind of effective to pollute online information about yourself.

If there are 1000 “me” profiles all saying different stuff, it’d be somewhat hard to pin down what I think and persecute me. This doesn’t work as well or maybe at all for sufficiently doxxed people who are producing content for a living, public political organizers, etc.
