  • Not really. In my experience it’s that the last authoritarian was the same ethnic group as a legacy group often in power, and so there worst effects didn’t hit most people from that group. It was also a period of respect for the authoritarian, so fear alone wasn’t what drove compliance with laws. So people conflate what amounts to a homoginized ethnocentric power structure to the benefits alone. It’s really not too dissimilar from the MAGA ethos that things were better “back then” and it just so happens that “back then” was before the Civil Rights Movement.

    Ensure that whoever you use for web hosting allows for the creation of multiple addresses, with one as a catchall. The real power you’re paying for is beyond an alias that shows your real address, you can use an address like March2025@yourdomain.net to sign up for things you expect to be spammy or whatever, and delete the address in 4 weeks and just vanish from their records. Also helpful, if you do need that account back in a year or two, you can create it again in about 30 seconds.
