¹not sure why we still accept people using nobiliary particles such as "von der" 🤢

It's best to focus attention on the issues that matter most rather than mixing in criticisms of the noble origins of certain last names.

Ugh, fuck these terrible "think of the children" laws that curtail adult rights and enable dystopian surveillance. They're like a disease that keeps reappearing.

And I know it's just a side note but my understanding is that "von der" just translates to "of the", indicating where old names originated. It's like Robin of Locksley, aka Robin Hood; though perhaps his name was originally aristcratic, he became the enemy of parasitic nobility. So the name alone doesn't actually tell you much.
