That's the thing, though. Nobody actually refuted anything that I said. They all just made smug, nonsensical retorts that didn't have any basis in reality, and then they got butthurt when I called them delusional because of it. And yeah - insults were warranted. Because y'all are dumb as hell.
First things first, I’m not them. They banned me for my username because of latent tankie homophobia.
I just looked up that thread though since you could be right and I could be misremembering… nope, there’s a bunch of replies with links to sources and more concrete reasoning than your very own “Russian solders only get a few days of training”.
There’s even ppl warning you you’ll get banned if you keep using that language and you should tone it down if you wanna stick around.
Guess it was more important to insult everyone posting links and refuting what you said.
I mean, they banned you for having a funny username, and they banned me for asking if someone was dropped on their head as a baby. They're crybaby bitches.
As for sources, I'm assuming most of that was posted after I was banned and could no longer reply. The only one I remember ignoring completely was one dummy who posted some hour long justification piece by Lukashenko, and like... I'm not about to waste my time listening to a dictator talking shop.
As for my penchant for insulting people... yeah. I don't suffer fools gladly. It's just not in me. So I amuse myself by telling them precisely what I think of them without couching the language.
It’s not you who didn’t suffer fools in that situation, it was them.
You can’t claim not to suffer fools when the power not to suffer them doesn’t lie with you.
The way to exercise your power to not suffer fools in that situation would have been to stop posting or stop insulting people, not keep going and get banned. The only exercise of power you can be accused of there is provoking a response you were warned about.

I think you're confused about the meaning of "suffering fools". You can suffer fools by being polite to them, or refuse to suffer them by being real with them.
Here is Merriam Webster's definition of this incredibly common colloquialism.
Now, as a practical example, me sharing that definition with you is being polite to a moron (i.e suffering a fool). You had every opportunity to look it up before spouting off, but you didn't. You just chose to show your ignorance instead. When I say that I don't suffer fools gladly, I'm not making up my own definition as you seem to suggest; I'm using the widely understood one.

Why do I give a shit about being banned from a sub filled with morons? They're obviously free to ban anybody they'd like, for any stupid reason they'd like. For example, they banned you for having the handle "gayhitler420", and they banned me for asking politely if someone suffered brain injury as a child. Both of which are, in my opinion at least, incredibly snowflakey reasons to ban someone. If being banned by a group of shiteating howler monkeys is the price to pay for telling them that they are morons, well, I pay it gladly.
You’re either falling into a trap of believing that dictionary definitions matter or just being obtuse.
When someone doesnt suffer fools it means they have the power and status to do so and won’t suffer repercussions for it or will even hurt the people around them.
It’s not just something you say to justify or intensify insulting people.
When you go to another server and mouth off and get banned that’s not you “not suffering fools”, that’s your own foolishness not being suffered.

What? No, I'm just not being a fucking moron. You clearly don't understand what that phrase means, and now you're digging your heels in insisting it means something completely different from what it actually does, despite every single definition of it throughout history disagreeing with you.
Like, seriously - is this the hill you want to die on? You got the definition wrong. Just own that and move on with your life. Or, you can continue being a complete fucking moron and saying completely moronic shit to make yourself feel like you're winning. Up to you.
Edit: I just realized that you're bad with idioms. To nip this in the bud, I'm just gonna go ahead and explain what the phrase "hill to die on" means. It means picking a big fight over something unimportant.
Edit 2: Fuck. Ok. To "nip something in the bud" means to address something before it becomes an issue.
Shit - it's actually kind of exasperating having to explain all of the idioms that you use on a daily basis to a fucking idiot.
I’m familiar with the idiom. When one doesn’t suffer fools they have the power to not do so. When you’re on someone else’s server mouthing off and getting banned you can’t dismiss it as not suffering fools because you didn’t have the power to not suffer them in that situation.
They in fact have the power to not suffer you, and did so.
So in that circumstance, like I said at first, you’re not the one who doesn’t suffer fools, they are.
Ok, I see you've chosen the second option: continue being a complete fucking moron and saying completely moronic shit to make yourself feel like you’re winning.
Fair enough. Well, since you apparently don't trust dictionaries to define phrases for some reason, I doubt that there's any evidence that I can present to you that will make you agree on the commonly held definition of the phrase. So, let's just move past that.
My definition for the phrase at the time I used it a few responses ago, as well as now, is the exact same as the widely held definition as expressed by Merriam-Webster in that link I gave you. Which means that your entire argument is even more pointless than a sphere.
So, going forward, how about you just substitute every instance of me saying that "I don't suffer fools gladly" with "I don't have it in me to be polite to morons"? Because that's what that phrase means. That's what I meant when I said it, that's what it means when literally anybody else on earth says it, and that's what I mean right now. Can we be done with this dumbshit argument now? I mean, fuck. I believe you possess the unique ability to lower the average IQ of any room you enter.
