1/ A thread about ANONS and why knowing someone’s name is not relevant to knowing them. As stated by Richard Feynman, “(there is a) difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.” He was referencing birds, and how they are called a different name in
2/ different languages. His father taught him this, because other boys teased him that he didn’t know the names of the birds. While Richard didn’t know the names, he did know its mating, nesting and other characteristics of the birds. Now look at us ANONs, through interactions,
3/ reading each other’s posts and discussions, we are able to learn things about each other’s character, interests, political thoughts, etc.… Through these means we can know each other. We know who to tag in what post, and who our SMEs are, and what they can teach.
4/ I would argue that the more you can “name” something, the more narrowly you define your understanding of it, and miss the larger scope of what attributes or qualities it has.
5/ For us, it is about the message, not the messenger. We don’t seek to enrich ourselves with a great meme or many followers, we seek to enrich us all. Unlike the Con Inc who seeks to enrich only themselves, and the left who are zealots for “experts.”
5/ From a political perspective, ANONs can’t be qualified and/or quantified, which is why the elite ruling class hates us. We are harder to control and predict. We are ANONs for different reasons, mostly to protect ourselves against others. Our name isn’t who we are,
6/ but it is what could be used to hurt us, therefor many of us understandably prefer to be anonymous. Recently we saw the onslaught of checkmarks attempt to discredit @FearTheFloof by saying he is ANON cat. If you’ve been doing this a minute, you see that this is a common
7/ response to discredit or dox an ANON, look at Raheem and @JoeSilverman7. Raheem told us all how brave he was for using his real name, and how JP was a coward for being ANON. This is a manipulative tool they use to try and bait us out. Don't fall for it. Ignore it.
8/ JP is obviously not a coward & has made real world contributions, whereas Raheem is a political grifter. He isn't brave for using his real name, he only does because has no other skills to earn an income and notoriety then to prostitute himself to the latest grift.
9/We know the names of countless mouthpieces on both the left & right, but do we know them, what they truly stand for? See, what Richard’s father taught him, & then he others, is that to know the name (messenger) means nothing, it is to know the thing (message) that is important.
