Moderate in the US means moderately authoritarian.
Edit: I want to say that if certain people weren't dead set on trolling I would have engaged in the argument that the US is already authoritarian. I'm inclined to fully agree. The constitution was written by wealthy whites wanting to preserve their own power. They did sprinkle in some democracy and we do thank them for that. All this to say, that was never my contention.
Conventionally ideology is measured on a spectrum. If being moderately authoritian offends you, move the fuck left.
You showed up to scold me about forum rules and behavior and now you are admitting you are here to waste my time.
It is impossible for you to get out of the mindset of being a little monkey dancing for upvotes and reiterating your musings on forum rules.
I posted an unpopular opinion related to what OP said and you all proceeded to bitch and moan at me for hours and hours on end.
Fact is it does not take any of my time to respond to these, that for you writing is a chore is embarrassing.
Nothing that any of you think matters flat out that is a fact not up for discussion. You can keep reiterating in a sarcastic voice "oh yeah, what I'm saying doesn't matter to you at all" but that's missing the point.
The only purpose of online spaces is to gain information. You don't have friends on here, you're on reddit being stupid. You're dying every second I am out here making money off of being able to write and think faster than you lmao. Have fun at taco bell
I didn't say anything about forum rules. Upvotes are irrelevant. And yes, I'm wasting your time, apparently quite successfully, and with your apparent eagerness too. Keep wasting your time. Keep writing like a middle school kid bragging about how his dad can beat up someone else's dad. I'm sure you'll get that jealousy and respect you think you deserve. I'll just be here dying every second.
Yes you did lmao you started off with Sealioning, an extremely online declaration of how trolling is evil and disruptive to the website. You don't think this is funny at all, you just think that's the winning move in your forum game lmao.
Again, I use the internet to engage in tit for tat information exchanges, I am not here for respect. I get that in my own life, not on unpopularopinion complaining about my ex wife like you people. This place is a zoo, and when I leave you will stay behind the bars.
Is sealioning mentioned in the rules? I hadn't checked.
I think this is hilarious. I'm talking to someone who acts like a kid who thinks they just invented being obnoxious on the internet.
If you don't want respect then you're terrible at acting like it. People who don't care what others think don't brag anonymously and call randos jealous when they don't know anything concrete about you to be jealous of other than your weak trolling.
I'm guessing if you have an ex-wife, she probably complains about you. This is literally the first time I've commented in this community but you think I'm a regular. You're great at reading people. Keep it up! You'll get there someday...maybe...
Oh sorry you were just talking about social media guidelines! Etiquette! Lol you clearly have no idea how the internet at large views redditors. You will never talk about anything other than this pedantic bullshit like this because you are too addicted to huffing your own farts to even click a link and leave.
Again I am not the one metanarrativizing about our discussion you just refuse to talk about anything else because you can't.
It takes me no energy to send messages, it takes two seconds, talking isn't hard for me. Thinking is what's hard for you, it makes you angry.
Writing entire articles about how authoritarianism is a meaningless concept and making money off it isn't hard to me lmao.
Do you read fortunes? There isn't enough context in our brief exchange for you to know anything meaningful about me. You really like the shadowbox with straw men.
I'm so mad! This is just awful. Some Dunning-Kruger University graduate is schooling me in how awesome his life is! Make your money writing whatever bullshit you want. Even trolls have to eat, especially when they're bad at bridge guarding. Tell Chat GPT I said hi next time you "write" an article.
