I wonder why dessalines (.ml admin, head Lemmy dev) would take such offense to people equating authoritarianism with mental illness 🤔 I'm sure it has nothing to do with their auth regime simping/s

Wow, this is a really left field one. Don't get me wrong, Dessalines is an Imperialist simp fuckwit, but he's usually a lot more subtle that just unironically banning someone for expressing that murdering the mentally disabled and blindly listening to authoritarian rule is bad.
- blindly listening to authoritarian rule
  Their latest line of narrative (among the Tankie Triad in general) is that there's "no such thing as authoritarianism" and that it's entire definition was "made up by the West"

  Jesus fucking christ.
  
  That explains the post I saw the other day that was saying all states are authoritarian, which I've been wondering about a lot. Being pro-anarchy I kind of fuck with the idea, but then also what words do we have left to distinguish between better and worse forms of state? Makes sense if it was an intentional attempt to destroy the word's meaning.
- It seems like murder has become a lot more common and accepted in Russia.
I really dislike how some mods like to refer to rules by their number. It just makes things needlessly opaque, it's part of the "You meet me where I'm at, because I am your superior" mindset. In this case it makes it kind of hard to even see what he's claiming the issue is with this. Is it because it's referring to mental illness in a sort of ableist way? Eh, maybe that's a little bit legit. But that would be a different rule? Honestly, it just reads like dessalines lets his hamster wander around on the mod controls sometimes, or anything he takes personal offense to he likes to delete from the comments, and he takes personal offense very very easily.
- It's also the instance rule. Not the community rule. But yeah: They intrpret the rules how they please. Reminds me a bit of their idol: Stalin.
ban was deserved in this instance though, the comment was ableist
