I’d like to hear your thoughts on why you chose to react in such a way?

I was simply answering your question. You used quotation marks so I assumed you’re using the mainstream definition of Authoritarianism and so I figured you’re wondering what would they say if you turned their own critique of socialism against themselves.

If this was confusing I apologize and here’s a simplified answer: Authoritarianism is a term used by status quo to describe attempts at combatting the status-quo so no it isn’t . This is simply following the rule of law.

My comparison to religion, a religion, not religion = capitalism = religion, is just to show how it has similar patterns of behavior to people who practice it. So you will be unable to effectively use a “gotcha” method like this to achieve any results.

I figured that since this is /c/Politics we’re supposed to have more serious discussions in this community, so that’s why I’m taking myself seriously. I’m also trying to take you in good faith, but I can’t interpret the emote as anything other than you being disappointed in me. That’s the most good faith interpretation I am willing to extend to you and I’d appreciate if you treated other people with similar respect.
