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.

Emitting sounds is not equal to conscious awareness and a capacity for suffering and you know it.

“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?

DISCO INFERNO

The line is all conscious life capable of suffering.

Frustrated phagocytosis is when macrophages attack asbestos fibers.

They can just kill a white person in broad daylight, I can’t believe that we’ve come to this, I can’t imagine what that’s like, I can’t fucking imagine it, nobody’s been killing people in broad daylight before, and nobody cared, I can’t fucking imagine it!

They value the lives of poc people like 0.1% of white people. The amount of deaths by ICE before then were like actually thousands.

Why does her appearance have anything to do with this? Surely you can come up will better things to describe why you hate this person other than vaguely misogynistic comments about her appearance.

Black people can vote or not vote however the fuck they want, you crackers are the ones who support the cracker police killing babies.

What the fuck? They did vote even though liberals opposed even just defunding the police.

Progressive like Palestine? That was probably one of the top 5 most progressive things in the 22nd century. I definitely never saw someone holding the separated parts of their baby before then or the bodies of prisoners being returned so mutilated you couldn’t even tell if they had skin.

Only the late Habsburgs come to mind.

He’s won the war against Iran at least 40 times by now. He kept that promise.
