As far as I can tell, you're relying on Google, or Microsoft, etc to verify your identity. Lose your relationship with them, and you lose control of everything. You have to remain in their good graces, or lose your identity for a div

Wrong. The point is that you could have seen it coming. And you sow the seeds of it happening again when you think of opposition to Discord as an ideological stance, rather than one that promotes a practical structure which guards against

The point is to not treat it like a religion. Scientific conclusions are not blessed by god as divine and absolute truth. As much as we wish the world was black and white, it's much more shades of gray, and we should each do our part

You're ignoring the universal religious faith in those institutions that has been demonstrated over the last few years. People who question them are conspiratorial dimwits, who are dangerous to society and should be punished.
