This is one of those things that sounds really nice and makes you feel morally good/superior, but it misses the point and the analogy fails. Speaking up, isn't offensive. Walking down a street, isn't propaganda. Wearing a dress, is your right as a person and it doesn't offend anyone. This isn't what's being discussed.
But, let's say you are right and we should maintain anonymity on social media platforms.
I don't think that kid who was wearing a t-shirt or sign or whatever supporting ICE should have been punched or face any consequences whatsoever. He should be free to exercise is right to free speech and/or protest, face no repercussions in public or private life, and when he goes home he should be allowed to hop on TikTok or Facebook or whatever, and post the most vile, hate-filled stuff he can think of, anonymously.
That's the world we live in today, and the status quo you are advocating that we maintain. Don't you think that warrants further discussion? I do.
