Not in this day and age when you might lose a job if they find out you support Trump or aren't on-board with progressive egregores. Too much risk.



I did everything under my real name up until last year, this is why I stopped. I remember being told over and over again never to use my real name on the internet. I wonder why we stopped telling people that, it was a good idea.


You are free to have a blog, just not an opinion on anything that might be political. Used to be that it was more about whether you had the skill to do the thing in question...


I was thinking about this from the perspective of saying "I wish to not have a job, be free, FIRE" and your employer sees that and they say "alright peace".


Definitely seems like all risk little chance of reward.
