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?
“Gommunism bad!!” cites the NATOpedia article they just looked up and haven’t read
Maybe try a source not entirely comprised of cold-war brainworms? Oh wait, you can’t!
Extremely unserious that the article includes things like the Cossacks joining the tsarists in the civil war and getting their asses kicked, but makes no mention of the Brits in India.
I hope you get treated just like how Russia treats their disfavored peoples
I don’t hope you get treated how the west treats Palestinians
Tell me who you define as the west, because unlike you chances are I’ve already criticized it very vocally
Your criticism is worthless
