OK, so the logic behind the name and convention of this space is that “Authoritarianism” Is a term that only exists to use and describe The other. Specifically, that the US can do authoritarian things (lemmy.world)

It’s always the one person who commits a crime but comes from a wealthy, stable family or the one person who’s actually ok with the pennies they get from welfare or the one LGBTQ person who does something heinous that ya’ll use to try to shit down every argument for treating people with basic respect and dignity(well, without them having to beg for it).

Nevermind the first person is probably a white boy who gets away with it or white-collar criminal, the second is the same person getting handouts and still laying off their working-class workforce so they can increase profits, and the last does just kinda suck but it’s also probably a priest who molests children and then preaches about how being gay is bad.

Oh and it didn’t work with my format but if someone doesn’t follow-through with their free education but ten other people get to earn degrees or other training that they normally wouldn’t have access to then that’s fine by me. Stop looking for excuses to be terrible to people and start looking for opportunities to help them.
