  >technological anonymity and privacy are clearly moving us towards fascism looks like we're talking different fascisms. I don't want to offend you, it is just that your phrase is like straight from "1984" (or from Russia today) - "war is peace" and the likes.

    >looks like we're talking different fascisms. Okay, what fascism are you talking about? I'm talking about the actual rising fascism that we see right now and which has boosted its influence via social media by a lot. >I don't want to offend you, it is just that your phrase is like straight from "1984" (or from Russia today) - "war is peace" and the likes. No worries, I've learned not to be offended by people being wrong.

  Hah, as if the fascists themself are in loving unity. (Or clear on the term itself) There were and will be opposing voices also in deepest fascism. More broadly, totalitarism is rather the term, where the whole society is total under control of one ideology. That can be fascism, but also other ideologies strive for that. But yes, allowing anonymous voices is one way to counter it.

  You literally could not be more wrong that opposing voices stop mattering once fascism is reached. Doubly wrong because fascism isn't a binary. Thrice wrong in that you think that a lack of anominity and privacy would somehow be helpful for prevention when fascism already here!
