Not nearly everybody, and it's more popular now than ever.

Only because "he" can be gender neutral in English. Singular "they" is old but has never really been popular. The original languages don't have gendered pronouns.

Except they're he censorship party, not their opponents, so the only way this could be true is if they stop posting content. Utopia

Not how language works. This artist just had a strip mocking prescriptive linguists too.

I don't know whether I agree with all of these, but the list is probably longer and there will be many good ideas. That doesn't mean total nonprivacy is possible, or a good idea.

The best ideas in your list are probably more about transparency in low-trust environments, rather than personal privacy.

Yeah but we're talking about your idea now.

We don't need to reach utopia, but the supposed benefits of total nonprivacy only come when it's total. Then it'll never happen, as long as someone benefits from hiding.

Econ 101 is about the benefits af free market. All the classes after are about why it can't be achieved and how to deal with that.

That's not an ideology, that's a dream. It's trivially true, but it doesn't apply to the real world. Nothing you do can bring reality closer to that, and you'll just open yourself to harm.
