    The US is authoritarian in the form of inverted totalitarianism.

    We don’t live under the dictatorship of the US government as would be traditional authoritarianism, we live under the dictatorship of capital which effectively owns the US government and controls the population by force.

    You shouldn’t of gotten banned for that but at the same time mods have the right to protect their communities from people who argue in bad faith and given this is the internet it’s safe to assume bad faith. (Even if you weren’t)

      Just because someone coined the term in 2003 doesn’t mean there were better terms to address it, and frankly, adding an adjective onto a term that doesn’t really fit it doesn’t really change the fact that it is not authoritarian. In other words, I inverted agree with you.

      I also got inverted banned by them. Meaning I was never banned from the community because I never participated in it, but I was in the totalitarian aspects that their ideology would have constrained with my liberty of expression. Or something. An inverted something. I just checked in case a sudden one had popped up over there, and the most recent ban I have are from several lemmy.ml communities because of how I offended their dear Kim Jong-un by reporting on one of his bans in a way that was not in accordance with the state sanctioned inverted liberty protocols.

      Bad faith…

      Ok so then this is in bad faith, and so is the above. Guess we all get bans in order to “protect” communities from checks notes differing opinions.
