YSK: some places it is a crime to ask questions

  I’m assuming the mods didn’t think the question was asked in good faith, but rather a “troll” question. I suspect the same, just like how this post seems more like a complaint than advice.

  If you are genuinely curious, I’d advise either looking up the history of authoritarianism or re-framing your question.

    I don’t think they’re actually curious. They’ve already had this exact discussion on Ye Power Tripping Bastards hours ago, and they’re apparently trying to drum up sympathy on as many subs as possible while playing the victim. Go look at their recent post history.

    If they have time to spam multiple subs over the course of many hours and didn’t even take the time to look it up on Wikipedia themselves, they’re obviously not that interested in learning something and more interested in pushing some kind of agenda while feigning ignorance.

  You’re defying the goal of the group by asking a quite stupid question. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, etc. They caused a lot of suffering, destroyed the foundations of democracy for their own gain, and you’re at the whims of if someone knows what they’re doing, because they consult almost nobody.

    Why not just say that?

      Yeah, but it amounts to asking “why is slavery bad?” You can understand why people, mostly as it is rising across the world, aren’t exactly happy that it’s even a question.

      I said it’s a stupid question, not that you’re stupid BTW. But a quick Wikipedia read is enough to see that it’s not good news that many countries are kinda heading that way.

  You broke the rules with a bait post. You got told off. You then posted this TWELVE times in unrelated communities hoping for support. Each one has a mass of downvotes. Stop trying to play the victim and just take the damn L.

    What about my post was bait that anyone one of these posts doesn’t feature?

  You broke community rule 5:

  And in the process broke rule 1:

  Resulting in expected behavior:

    It’s obviously not bait otherwise any of the following may be considered same.

    And quit telling me I didn’t want genuine discussion.

      Rule 5: “bait users into ideological wars”.

      You directly broke rule five, and because your question was disingenous, that broke rule 1.

      Sorry you’re butthurt over it. Get over it and move on.

  To be honest I think you all missed a great crack by the moderator being representative of an authority just banning the question as an answer in itself.

    I caught it. I shitposted it. I was still disappointed not to hear people’s answers.

  It’s a legitimate question. I also don’t think authoritarianism is inherently bad, I’d say I’m quite authoritarian where economics is concerned.
