When did people forget to not attach their names to these accounts? Seriously, what in the fuck?

Don't get me wrong, this shit is insanely tyrannical, but once upon a time it was status quo to never put your personal information out there. Now everyone fucking does it and is baffled when it ends up being used against them.

Facebook was what normalized the idea of self-doxxing social media.

Myspace well predates Facebook. FB might have helped further popularise the trend, but it wasn't the first, and I would argue not even the leading force. Maybe the largest, but not the leading. I'd put that blame at marketing firms that need and utilise user data for their services that corporations thrive off.

rant about putting a certain political figure in the wood chipper or claiming that trannies are ridiculous will get them a knock on the door from the police for hate speech or they'll claim they were making a threat.

It's worse than that. They're going to be going after anyone who doesn't praise the leadership hard enough and anyone that questions the narrative. It won't even have to be "trannies are absurd" when even "don't you think they're giving trannies a bit too much" is still blasphemous to the narrative.

Normies have zero sense of OpSec.

But they used to. It was once upon a time considered normal behaviour to not give your information to everyone you possibly could.

No, that was just the time before normies arrived on the internet.

Not really. I'd say a lot of this started to change in the late 00's, and there were plenty on the internet in the early 00's that knew about basic online safety. We can argue and split hairs that those people were less normie than most other normies, but at the end of the day the common belief was to be cautious on the internet. Now you're considered somewhat of a freak for not sharing everything.
