Not only that I've gotten rid of all social media with my identity attached. I had a Facebook for a long time but shoah'd it. The family I had on just used it to argue about politics. Most people on there weren't friends just ghosts of friends. Why would I keep my name on platforms openly hostile to me and my people? Reputation is everything in the working world. Character assasination is the prefered attack on whites today because they know many are living in debt and can't go without a paycheck for too long before their lives start breaking down. I'm going to do everything in my power not to let these people destroy my life or the people I love.

Considering how people will go over things with a fine toothed comb going back decades because you said something mild that upset them is frankly terrifying. Best to avoid giving them any room to doxx. Costing someone their job for comments made that long ago is foul.

Honestly, it's worse than that since that's just "we're GOING to ruin your life out of spite, I'm just looking for a reason to do it"...and more terrifying since it's been done so long it's only a matter of time before it moves to "okay, there is nothing I can ruin your life for? Fine. I'll just lie. It's your word against mine, and who'll take your word for it? You're a [insert claim I made]." (Considering there's as many people who's takeaway from the Depp/Heard trial was "well, maybe we SHOULD get to lie!", that looks imminent.)

It's terrifying. The reason thing freaks me out so much. It's okay to ruin your life when you did a wrongthink, and you did a wrongthink a decade ago so that makes it okay to ruin your life.

These people should just become parking attendants, they'd get off on that tiny amount of power.
