    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

          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.

                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

                  don’t know about the dangerous work conditions, but the existance of private prisons scares me enough

        And does that apply to when transphobes decide that trans people being real is “misinformation”?

          No, because it’s not. Truth is not subjective.

                Cool, but idk since the truth isn’t subjective and the truth is I’m right.
