PTB.
They popped up in a governance thread on the instance I'm part of, so I did a deep dive on their comments (as others had done on their posts and I thought I could get a better look at their POV if I went for comments) and they, at one point in the past, stated they worded their rules carefully. I believe this sort of thing is intentional, and bad faith.
But as they themselves said several times, they're right-wing, and a person can't help their biases! So the fact that they're intelligent and have no qualms with their biases, just means they're going to hard code their biases into any spaces they litigate. It's to be expected.
I actually haven't watched one of those movies in... actually I don't think I ever have! But I find your assertion intriguing and support it based on nothing but vibes.
