I want all of Metz's private messages scrolling by in a live feed.

I don't mind much the private messages, but I could do with CC and Uber Eats access. Ya know, for science.

Don't do this.

All important shits like Trump or Merz are already posting under their real names. Publicity is a part of their job. Leave plumber Gustav out of this nonsense.

Lieber Herr Merz,
Ficken sie sich in den Arsch.

Merz's real name is a traitor to western civilization. Hindenburg Merz at that, betraying western culture and in doing so throwing the election to the far right, that will with the help of the US and Russia fix elections.

You first, Merz. Show us your anonymous communication.

Merz is 71 YO. I can't wait for this old fuck to die (of natural causes)

"In politics, we engage in debates in our society using our real names and without visors. I expect the same from everyone else who critically examines our country and our society."

Funny, since Ursula von der Leyen used to go by "Rose Ladson", or what about Herbert Ernst Karl Frahm, who went by "Willy Brandt" during WW2?

This from the country of "glorify the genocide of Palestinians, like a good German soldier"? Rich of them.

Great argument there. No notes.
