Banning the healthcare of a minority group, systemically refusing to recognize their existence, treating them as a group with less rights, banning them from certain spaces, making them face horrific conditions when incarcerated, supporting hatred against them that leads to killings…

Okay, yeah, that does make sense.

I am a fan of a good spaghetti, don’t get me wrong, but only as a treat sometimes.

I’m not so sure, like once the 2027 financial crisis is declared they probably will start lynching us like a sacrifice to the economy gods to bring rain.

Is it really a genocide? Like I’m trans and being pushed towards losing my life, and that’s bad, but it feels weird calling that a genocide when you compare it to the actual Holocaust or Palestine or the Sudanese civil war. For it to qualify I think I’d have to be arrested and executed for being trans, not just driven to suicide because I don’t have any friends and no employers will hire me.

Yes

I hit tab and just never go deeper than 3 indents.

No, people support authority because they think they won’t be the people affected by it and that they will benefit from it, nobody actually thinks that being controlled is a good deal, not a single soul except for a handful ultra-rare edge-cases, maybe.

In the real world, it’s where one group supports the oppression of others because of certain privileges they gain from that oppression, that’s why people support oppressive systems. A fascist, for example, supports a very specific type of authority that they think will benefit them, not authority in general. That’s why saying people agreeing with moderators have authoritarian psychology or ideals or some shit doesn’t make any sense and is a bit sily. The political concept and what you’re talking about have zero relation. You have vastly over-generalized the concept and are semantically equivocating things that have no useful relationship in reality, like calling all things that swim “fishitarian” and then analyzing people who bathe as if they are fish: “They are fish! Of course they think submerging themselves in water is beneficial to their health!”

Those people sided with the mods of whatever community you’re vagueposting about because, here’s my take on it… like, maybe, hear me out…

They just disagree with you and agree with the moderator, no authoritarian mind control necessary.

“Unethical moderation.”

Bruh.

“Authoritarian.”

like authoritarian is a word you use to describe a government. This just isn’t how people think. You’re talking about authoritarianism like it’s some kind of value that some people follow. Nobody is deferring to Lemmy mods because of their faith in some general abstract concept of authority, that they must act authoritarianly to appease the Authority God.

LOGIC BLAST!!!

The IV isn’t a needle that stays in you, it’s just a plastic tube afterwards

But aren’t the gonads also not real in this analogy, since gonads evolved (skipping some steps) from single celled asexual reproduction and horizontal gene transfer. So aren’t you technically just your DNA?
