It's not my intention to be deceptive or to convert anyone. If it were I wouldn't have been open about it. I remember participating in GC on reddit, although shortly because other subs took my attention, so when GC was also banned by reddit I was surprised so I peaked and was intrigued by what everyone was writing and I also liked the atmosphere. I saw a lot of overlap between my positions here and my positions in relation to dar, which is why I asked them what they thought. I was kind of disappointed with the responses on dar to be honest. I've felted abused by TRAs and the likes on reddit so it felt good to read posts here on GC and feel validated in some ways. As for being "dishonest", you're never going to have any fruitful conversations with anyone if you unload everything at once, so it's more about meeting people where they are and reaching common ground.
GC is especially nice because its evidence-based, understands biology and actually cares about sources unlike TRAs.

My comments have been on-topic as you say and I'm not trying to hide anything. It's a common mistake to call TRAs fascists. Conservatives do that too. But it's because marxist elements of education has imprinted the idea that authoritarianism equals fascism into everyone. So when people see or experience communism in real life, they automatically think its fascism because that's what they've learned authoritarianism is. Which is kind of ironic because fascism literally fought communism and the translobby.

If you notice the thread where I asked about the karen meme, I asked, because I was trying to gauge the overlap and if this was a subreddit for me or not. The responses seemed to indicate that GC is a sub for me to participate in and this is why I asked what DARs opinions were of GC and their opinions kind of disappointed me, personally, but I don't have to agree with everything they say or what everyone in this sub says. You could say that those two threads moved me closer to GC than DAR because of the responses.

Oh. Interesting. I'm curious to continue this conversation, but I don't know if I can fully in accordance with GC's mod policies, so I'm continuing it here
