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?

    It definitely caused a predictable reaction from .ml accounts

    Cognitive dissonance is pretty hard to deal with when people actually know what your ethos says.

    Give em time tho, some day they’ll be just as good at it as modern Christians or maga.

      Most people are fed up with your binary libshit politics, nobody cares about your manufactured culture war of lgbt vs christians. Keep living in your comfort zone which your govt is providing you by bombing schools in middle east.

        It’s weird how many 1 month old accounts have such serious issues with me…

        nobody cares about your manufactured culture war of lgbt vs christians.

          I joined lemmy in 2023, one account was gone because it was on lemm.ee instance, another account I made on .zip was banned by admin because he didnt like some of my comments

              What is your question? you are the type who believes fascism can be voted away and so support the establishment parties who manufacture culture wars.
