Are there not circumstances where relative anonymity is desirable and reasonable?
What if I'm a refugee facing roundup by the death squads? What if I'm a person of color in a racist environment? What if I'm trans and fear hatred and genocide for my gender expression? What if I'm a political dissident in an authoritarian regime? What if I want to help give women the right to choose and I fear violence? What I believe in X God in a country where believing in Y God is the law of the land? What if I'm a medical professional who wants to give gender affirming care in a location where that's resisted? What if I'm a woman who wants to speak up? What if I'm a whistleblower against corporate malfeasance and am afraid? What if I'm speaking out about the cops in a corrupt town and fear reprisal?
Is it just that under your system, my choices are either silence or violence?

Don't you? Pen names to publish political statements that could harm have been a thing for a long time.
