The correct solution to climate change is directly controlling the temperature by releasing sulfate aerosols in the upper atmosphere. At a cost of $5-20 billion per year we can hold temperatures in place or reduce them, even as CO2 levels rise. These people want to destroy industrial civilization over a glorified nothingburger.
That won't work forever. Those aerosols don't stay in the air nearly as long as CO2 does. So if we depend on them, we'll likely continue to raise the CO2 to dangerous levels while temporarily covering it up with the aerosols. It'll work for a while, but on historical timescales sooner or later something will happen that will disrupt the flights that deliver the aerosols. It could be a war, natural disaster, oil depletion, or anything that disrupts modern civilization and trade. Then the temperature will shoot up to where it would have been without the aerosols, but it will be worse because it will happen much quicker with no chance for people to adapt, and it will compound with whatever crisis caused the disruption.

If someone wants to make their own site to do that, they can go ahead,
Not easily. If the new site becomes popular or well-known in any way, the woke mob will go after it and try to get it shut down by the advertisers, payment processors, or Cloudflare. (Or the ultimately the government, which doesn't work in the US yet, but they're trying hard to change that.)

I think Elon Musk came to realization that the only way to solve this issue on forums with anonymous users is to gate content creation behind a paywall.
The problem with that is that it won't be "anonymous" once the credit card payment info of all the users is stolen or leaked. Personally I will never give my credit card info to any forum where people talk about sex or politics.
Yeah, I think the hard part would be doing a convincing foreign accent consistently.
Maybe it would easier to go to a different European country, less chance of getting found out if you aren't among Germans. Then go back to Germany a few years later.
