Many people on lemmy.ml deeply respect and admire authoritarian governments and organizations.

Iran, China, North Korea, Soviet Union…

The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.

Iran hangs homosexuals. Iran shot 30,000 people in less than than 2 weeks. The Soviet Union had to build a fucking Iron wall to prevent people from escaping. The Soviets lied about the Chernobyl nuclear explosion. China censors the internet. China wants to eliminate Islam. North Korea is a totalitarian hellscape. Watching anime is a crime.

Why is lemmy.ml so fascinated with authoritarians?

    You think I don’t criticise Russia? I have loved ones suffering under the Russian right wing regime. That doesn’t imply the USSR carried out genocides.

      Lol, lmao

      You will just redefine willful harm against millions like starvation to not be genocide by your terms. And if you do believe Putin and his gang is right wing, why are you still shielding them?
