the ultimate truth of the reddit janny is that they are pathologically lazy.
it's a law of nature. it takes immense energy to be virtuous, to judge fairly, to understand context. it takes zero energy to be a tyrant.
your complex thought is illegible. a rule violation is legible. you aren't a person, you're an annoying ticket in the queue that requires too many clicks to resolve.
when you question their lazyass decision, you're not just disagreeing, you're attacking the fragile reality they've constructed where they are a competent and powerful authority. protecting that reality by banning you is infinitely easier than the effort of admitting a mistake.
for the terminally lazy the ban button is the most efficient tool for resolving cognitive dissonance ever invented, and the ultimate cope.
