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?
I see on twitter all the time negative comments about Trump, jokes that us is run by pedofiles etc.
Try criticizing Chinese government, North Korean or Soviet one in the past. Good luck.
They do, you could check for yourself if you cared to learn another language
My wife’s last name is not the same as her paternal grandfather, because he criticized the Soviet leadership and was exiled to Siberia. His wife had to change the name of the rest of the family to keep from also being exiled.
Cool story, unfortunately I heard similar ones from my grandma about the fucking confederacy so that’s not gonna work on me
