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?

    Why does Israel, that has the 1/4 the economy of Russia, able to effectively disseminate propaganda.

    Because Israel is funded by the USA and has deep interconnections with USA’s intelligence apparatus. It’s fundamentally integrated into the USA’s propaganda machine and supported by the USA’s vast vast network of intelligence, propaganda, corporate control over the media, and dark money.
