Go ahead and use the tool that works for you. But don’t forget to test your tools on things you know every once in a while.

This is missing the point.
The category of Italian private beach administrators is constantly under fire for their blatant violation of the laws, their outrageous fiscal evasion, and their well known abuse of illegal workers.
All that happens with the open support of the politics (especially right wing) that always managed to block any European intervention to open the market to competition and bring it back into legality.
The rising prices is just the last straw on an already long dead camel.
I guess I'm the only one who sees this as "here little Donald, now play with this and let me do my job".
It's a fair point, but anonymity is not the same as privacy. Normally I only need the latter.
Just by avoiding gmail-like providers nobody crunches all the activation emails to build my profile. Using aliases on @mydomain I can separate the identities a little bit. Of course it is still possible to assume that all the emails from @mydomain belong to me, but I can accept that risk assuming that nobody wants to follow me specifically (why would they?).
Rule 1: know your enemies. I only need to protect myself from the ads-industry and that works on volumes, not on quality. Two emails are very likely two different people for them.
If you truly want anonymity then you're right, but life becomes much harder.
Yes and no.
The domain registry knows the identity of the domain's holder (ok, authorities can easily ask), but it's impossible to associate a single email to a person with certainty. I can give you an email with my domain, for example.
I also do not see much difference with a fake account on Gmail (or whatever). Of course, it's relatively anonymous if you only use it to register on a website or to send an anonymous email once, but if you use it regularly you will be identifiable anyway, just with a few extra steps.
Why so?
I’m quite curious to see how it will end in the UK with the porn filters because the people don’t seem to be inclined to use their IDs online, the system is brittle, and non-porn websites are being blocked too.
You forgot to mention the reputation of the US among its “allies” now.
It's the equivalent of a "beware of the dog" sign: sometimes it's just a puppy, but sometimes it's rabid.
Debating online is as important as doing the rest of the things you say are “real” worthwhile pursuits.
I love debating because, with time, I became aware of angles I had missed. However, I stop when the other side embraces extremist, black&white, and childish positions. "Fuck the system" works when you are a teenager or listening to punk rock, but otherwise it is just ridiculous.
For instance: How can we pursue a cure for cancer if the political climate ensures scientists are scorned and distrusted?
You can't. However, you also can't if you are not 100% in the system and aligned. Anything requiring funding or permits most likely becomes harder the less aligned you are since you'd clash with politics, you'd never meet people with money, you'd become a liability, and so on.
I'm all in to go to protests, to vote with my wallet, and to preach my values. I'm also conscious of the negligible impact that I will have since large organized movements can barely move the needle, and that there are so many other ways to change the world.
Is it that maybe someone on your exit node is trying to enumerate valid accounts?
