    What an impressive turn out. Looks like they’re all using the exact same “arguments” (a combination of manipulation techniques and logical fallicies) that they use every single time.

    It’s worrying how much of a presence these people create in online discourse because they come out in full force, dominating and suppressing anyone or thing that challenges them. There is no healthy debate.

    But i suppose it all makes perfect sense; these people glorify the state, single party rule and dictatorship. Their behavior is a logical result of these beliefs

      What is the appropriate way to object? It seems like asking them to substantiate checks notes literally anything about what they claim is being pretty open, it certainly is different from making a conscious effort to just harass them off the platform.

      But no matter what we did, it would be “a logical result of these beliefs” that in some way is incriminating and demonstrates how evil we are, any behavior except perhaps capitulating. Your psychoanalysis, like that of Freud, is an unfalsifiable, post-hoc myth-making that impedes rather than enables causal understanding of what is going on.

      And all for these shitty little West Wing monologues about how the real authoritarianism is making a rude comment on a forum.

      are you going to name any of these “arguments” or are you just going to decry any person that disagrees with you as illogical and hysteric?

      Is this because every attempt at “healthy debate” with OP ends with them shitting their pants and crying “I don’t owwwwwwwwwwwe you a debate”?

      Nah, it’s the damn tankies!

      We need to connect, which then leaves us open to cointelpro. The problem of cointelpro has not been resolved, questioning our capabilities to organize ourselves.

      We need a code of honor that makes cointelpro tactics a waste of time.
