      Authoritarian = When countries I don't like have laws

      Authoritarianism is when we stop fascists from lynching trans people. Freedom is when we say "I don't agree with the fascists openly planning how to kill me but if I protest then liberals will stop supporting me so I'll just try and ignore them"

      I think it's just "when country I don't like". I really don't think there's anything to it at all.

      They genuinely think every socialist state relies on concentration camps, including modern China.

        Authoritarian is when countries try to undermine the dollar or seek alternatives

        Freedom is when your country allows fascist websites and has child detention centers

        That can't be it though, because the US prisons are objectively concentration camps, and these idiots love making excuses for the US

          They would say every criminal deserves to be there and we need to be putting all the homeless in prisons too

        It's extremely common for burgers to think that literally everyone who lives in AES countries - except for members of the ruling party - are slaves.

    the "authoritarians" are why we have an actual safe space for trans people here

    if they don't like it they should feel free to go make their own trans space without our level of moderation and see how it goes

      This, the reason i feel safer here than in most exclusively trans spaces is that the mods ban transphobes, misogynists and homophobes instead of getting into arguments why their comment wasn't hatespeechy enough and that they do not tone police marginalized people. In other places, the mods are fuckin liberals who value the free speech of my opressors over my safety and use civility fetishism to silence me. They uphold the violent, exclusionary, status quo-cementing logic of the marketplace of ideas, and will respect the interests of a cis and assimilationist majority over the safety needs of the most marginalized minorities within a community even though these minorities are most in need of protection.

      Hexbear is a safer speace precisely because it is deeply and utterly illiberal.

    I think it's good when transphobia is made illegal and transphobes get shot in the head

    Is that authoritarian or not enough

    Lmao how do they not realise that it's the use of authority that makes it a good space?

    Fucking idiots I swear to god. What are you gonna do in your society with all the bigots and chuds? Ask them nicely to stop? Good luck. Only fear through use of authority will terrorise them into silence and behaving correctly to lgbt people.
