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 do westerners have zero self awareness or critical thinking? The US has killed more innocent people in the past decade than every country you mentioned combined has in the past 5 decades, spies on our own people and everyone else, has the highest prison population on earth per capita and total, I could go on. If your #1 priority isn’t opposing the US led global order then you have no credibility, simple as.
Bro knock it off with the whataboutism and just answer the question!
