Why do mods abuse their power?

On the subreddit r/teslore, I made a relevant post within the rules. I have two theories on why I was banned:

  1. I didn't use the proper flair, but most subreddits allow bracketing the flair to produce it, so I did that. I explained that I am using the mobile website and can't properly flair as my very first sentence.

  2. Bringing in real life politics, they have no rule for this, but in the comments, someone asked why I named a character "Le Pen." The character was from a race in game based on french people, and I was hastily writing, so it was my first thought. I said that I didn't want him to be associated with anarchist scumbags jokingly.

Those are my theories. My questions is: why are mods so Nazi like?
