It wasn't a hostile discussion or anything, i didn't even go full "the kulaks deserved it" (although the mod that single-handedly banned me did go full "the kulaks did not deserve it"). I just laid out plainly and calmly that revolutions are inherently authoritarian, that Luxemburg said "the revolution will be as violent as the ruling class makes it necessary" and that there's one Trotzki quote i 100% agree with: "If the October Revolution hadn't succeeded, the world would have known a Russian word for fascism 10 years before Mussolini's March on Rome". Basically the whole "Jakarta Method" train of thought laid out clearly and without calling anybody names.
Note that this was on an explicitly left-leaning server that does not allow cops and troops to join. Also after several days of another poster starting destructive, aggressive bad faith arguments in the politics channel until a number of users went "disengage" on her and the channel had to be frozen until recently, when she immediately started being hostile and arguing in bad faith again, which got her not one, but two warnings from the same mod without further consequences. Meanwhile, when i defend AES without attacking anybody, that's apparently too much for her to handle. No advance warning, no "sis, you're talking to me as a mod here", not even a notification that i got banned.
The best part is that according to screenshots a friend just sent me, she's now completely going off about "authoritarians". The nerve some people have.
Sorry for posting pointless internet drama here, i just needed to vent.
No, seriously. Because Feinberg has this terminology where she uses Man / Woman for gender identity, masculine / feminine for gende role and performance and male / female for biological sex characteristics. And talking about biological sex even as a reified, constructed cluster of properties that have zero bearing on your gender identity is apparently transphobic because terfs talk about biological sex too much.
That there's a difference betwen properly understood biology and the naive biologisms and the bioessential determinism of terfs is completely lost on this person. Like, she doesn't get that. I've tried to explain it and she called me out for ableism and classism in response to that. Fuck i hate her so much.
