I get the ironic angle of the mod being "authoritarian" but that's their space and if they decide they don't want to deal with trolls arguing about they can ban people.
Just like trans communities can and should ban people who just want to argue about if trans people are real. If you try to argue against it you're just being a dick and distracting from the point of the community.
How was OP trolling? They simply called out the strawman in the OOP
If the point of a community is spreading misinformation, you have a moral obligation to distract from the point of the community
Are you suggesting America isn't authoritarian?
idk about that specifically, I was making a general statement about the behaviors of this genre of online community
The gulag system is mostly for the blacks, we are not the same.JPEG.
I'll bite, compared to Russia or China, the U.S. is not an authoritarian state.
Do you think it is?
Lol, further proof that the word "authoritarian" is just a meaningless snarl word for foreign adversaries.
why prison pop is so high then?
Money.
how is that different from "an authoritarian state"
Oh its worse.
They have a larger prison population then any other country and spend more on military than the next several countries combined
at least the us doesn't have concentration camps ig
US prisons are not far off what with the forced labor and high death rates.
yeah, ik and I hate both the us and china, I just can't stand it when people claim that the us is the worse than china, which isn't true since in the us you at least get free speach and the right to own a gun
The US only has forced labor programs in dangerous work conditions
don't know about the dangerous work conditions, but the existance of private prisons scares me enough
They're currently putting out the California fire, you cant get much more dangerous
Are you suggesting term length has anything to do with authoritarianism?
And does that apply to when transphobes decide that trans people being real is "misinformation"?
No, because it's not. Truth is not subjective.
Lmao, my sweet summer child.
For future reference if you find yourself saying this phrase you've already lost the argument
Cool, but idk since the truth isn't subjective and the truth is I'm right.
Nuh uh
