I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of 'hitlerites'

I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?

I can’t help but wonder if tankies are the political equivalent of flat-earthers. I should probably ask that on NSQ some time, when I can figure out a way of asking that won’t get me banned.

it's the other way around. 'we live in a democracy because i can drive across state borders and buy things' is equivalent to saying the Earth is flat because you can see the city over the horizon.

No we are a democracy because we vote and they aren't because they vote, but in a different way.
What makes our voting the right kind of voting? Well we are a democracy and that's the way democracies vote, which means it's the right kind of voting. They aren't because they don't vote like that.
Also they imprison people for their political opinions, we don't. We imprison people for rioting and protesting in the wrong way and suing oil companies on behalf of indigenous tribes.
