Anonymous troll posts carry more honesty than ID'd posts.


In a way, anonymous troll posts carry more honesty than ID'd posts, i.e. facebook, etc. You think people really care what they had for breakfast? Or who won the basketball game last night?
You think people are happy? No. People are pissed off. But they hide it.

We live in a rigged world and 99% of the sheep don't even understand why.

It's not really "honesty" when you hide your actual identity and say whatever comes out of your mouth because you're free of accountability. That's cowardice and insincerity of the highest order. That's something you and people who think and act like you will never truly understand.

There's a difference between a differing opinion and a forced one.

In some ways, you're right. In other ways, people hide their real feelings when everybody knows their name.

And looking around IMDb, I see plenty of people who act shamelessly and would be "put in their place" if their real identities got out and ultimately affected their way of life. All words ultimately have consequences. A real person would accept the consequences of their speech.

That's why I have no empathy for the people who come on this board or boards for films like "Moonlight" or TV series like "Dear White People" and demand to have their say on the matter. They don't care about actual free speech or differing ideas. They just want to say whatever is splashing around in their head without fear of repercussion.
