    The community is called no stupid questions not “trolling allowed”.

        To actually answer your question:

        If you think MAGA is bad, why not authoritarianism?

        What’s stopping an autocracy from being like MAGA? It’s practically inevitable for dictatorships/monarchies.

        One leads to the other.

            No. Lets look at the tenets of what make MAGA bad: treating minorities like shit, restricting democracy and ultranationalism (I’m not american, so this is what i understand)

            Let’s compare that to the average dictatorship: treating minorities like shit, restricting democracy and ultranationalism (what a surprise!)

            For examples, see Saudi arabia, egypt, russia or basically any authoritarian state.

            I am assuming a comm like no stupid questions gets a lot of trolling and random shitposts.

                They probably thought you were fucking around and then saw the shitpost replies and decided to shut things down to not shit up the comm.

    I blocked NSQ bc of an active bot as a mod.

    Lemmy in general does not handle conceptual abstractions well at all. I think it is great to question the seemingly obvious subjects, and to poll user depth and intelligence regularly. I hate getting blindsided by someone asking stupid questions like this in real life and having to take the time to think out which of many angles I would like to address the issue from. I find it useful and healthy to see how others address such a question and how people respond to the various approaches. This is fundamental to the intuitive usefulness of NSQ and when that utility is hampered it effectively renders the community useless.

    I rather ineffectively volunteered to take over the community myself when I encountered poor moderation from a bot with no accountable individual to address. Instead I block the community and consider it an embarrassment to exist.
