To preserve the anonymity of the source of my own ideas, I might write every tweet/post like so:

“A friend of mine says, ‘Woke politics are getting absurd.’”

I wonder if this would be violation of the law...

That reminds me of SWIM [0] from the drugs forums back in the day

[0] Someone Who Isn't Me. I believe it was an attempt to avoid admitting to illegal things. It was mandatory to use SWIM instead of the first-person on some forums.

I'm not sure "I was raised not to rat on friends" holds up in court.
