        I thought it was just a shitpost reply that came off too harsh, but they’re actually a mod and have the power to ban. The anti authoritarian sub having an authoritarian mod is comical

        Can a random american citizen not run as an opponent to those senators in the US? Arent those senators democratically elected?

        Can you do the same for Xi Jinping? Can a random chinese citizen run for office?

        Do you think those 2 things are the same?

      No one said it’s not an authoritarian state.

      I’m saying people don’t like it unlike what you’re pretending.

      Sorry is calling your meme shit against the rules?

      Because it doesn’t state that anywhere
