    I understand all this, but since there is also an argument to be made that voting for Biden is either voting for a genocidal fascist (it literally is) and/or contributing to a system that is designed to oppress (it is), I’m not going to abide people in this community to attempt to shame others into voting for a man who is objectively causing harm. We’re not going to tolerate this type of thing in this community. I’m saying this as mod and founder of this community. I see it all the time on right-wing platforms such as .world and reddit.

    I’m not attempting to debate you or to engage in a philosophical discussion here. I’m telling you it will not be tolerated. Full stop.

      Ohhh, I think I get it.

      This place is a safe space for people to talk about ideas, but not have to back them up with rational arguments. I don’t think this is a place for me.

      Just make sure this place doesn’t turn into a Nazi Bar https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Nazi_bar. Theses kinds of places all seem vulnerable to that.

        BTW it’s ok for you to make a post encouraging people to vote for Biden. We’ve had posts like that in the past, and I’ve been diligent about making sure that the poster doesn’t get dunked on. Just be sensitive to the fact that some of us have been directly harmed by Biden and his policies.

        This is not a debate forum. If you have something to share, you are welcome to make a post. I’m not going to have, say for example, anprims and ancoms arguing in the comments, nor people demanding users write theory on demand. I’ve seen how that tears communities apart.

        People like Nazis and liberals aren’t welcome here. We’re on top of that.
