I really just think it's an unnecessary escalation of language, which also devalues the word to make it harder to talk about genuine fascists.

i know what i said. stop trying to explain that i didn't mean what i said. I'm not going to change my mind because you suddenly came to grips with how bad the mods' behavior is in others' judgment and are having trouble accepting it. if you don't like it, tell the mods to change.

I'm just saying that your continued defense of saying moderators are equivalent to fascists opens you up to everyone judging you on that claim. I obviously disagree with the choice of words (or the belief, if you prefer), and I think other people should too.

so now youre trying to "save me" from the impact of having my opinion? given your issues understanding moral concepts like human dignity, individuality, bullying, oppression, and power dynamics, I'm not too worried about people who subscribe to your pov.https://twitter.com/PLT_cheater/status/1085788690843086848 …

I believe that you need to make a more convincing case of your opinion if you want people to believe you. I don't think the strength of just *your* conviction is enough to persuade most people that drawing parallels between forum moderators and fascists is appropriate.

that's ok, i gave enough context that any person with a smidge of morality can tell why i called the set up fascistic. look, after 3 (4?) days you're still confused about this. you can't figure out why i make the points I make, and you're not even coming close. 1/5

if you still feel the need help hitting the road, please instead talk to someone who specialises professionally in teaching topics like morality or who can help you develop a theory of mind to understand points of view you disagree with. 2/5

those are things every self respecting tween knows. I don't have the time to parent a grown up for a week. sorry. and sorry that this is a harsh personal attack, but that's how I see it. 3/5
