That’s literally the reason you cited, and the admin ban, for all of this

Apparently the only real form of bullying is downvoting

As the sidebar notes:

The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales).

... I didn't really know what else to call the comm when I made it >.>

Explanation: When Rome began to be ruled by Emperors, not only did they still regard themselves as a republic, but they remained ardently anti-monarchist (with regards to who ruled them - they were fine with other countries having kings).

He's JUST the first citizen!

Funny enough, Greek cities would often write to the Emperor calling him 'basileus' ('king') during the first ~300 years of the Empire - whereas the imperial secretaries would write back, thank them for their concerns or whatever they were writing about, but insistently in the name of simply 'Caesar' or the 'Autokrator' ('self-ruler', 'autocrat', or 'dictator', as one prefers).

NOT A KING

Explanation: Marshal Zhukov, a Soviet hero of WW2 and an instrumental leader in the defeat of the Nazi menace, was introduced to Coca-Cola by his American counterpart, General Eisenhower, once the Nazis had been crushed. As Coca-Cola was seen as a symbol of the capitalist West, Zhukov had a variant without food coloring made to drink more 'subtly'.

Let a hero of WW2 have his little pleasures, comrades!

Honestly I don’t think your strategy of posting smug gotchas will work any better. just block that asshat.

I mean, largely I wasn't trying to 'get through' but emphasize that his points were not the uncontested facts he was trying to portray them as to any onlookers.

Feel free to block the comm.

Anarchism is much more nuanced that that.

At least the drag and PugJesus issues are related, as PugJesus tried to move the !196 community after getting banned: https://feddit.org/post/7025680/4263481

You have repeatedly said this despite the fact that I had nothing to do with moving the 196 comm. I don't know why the fuck you keep spreading this lie despite the fact that I've corrected you on it several times already.
