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?
you need to think like a cave man, conspiracy theorist, and an idiot all at the same time. america bad, therefore not-Amera good. Wikipedia is anti-communist propaganda
It’s on you that you’re incapable of understanding criticism to Wikipedia, it’s actually quite simple:
Wikipedia, especially so English Wikipedia, is edited primarily by tech-literate men living in the Anglosphere, and it’s sourced primarily by Anglosphere sources. For this reason, Wikipedia will portray the same bias that those individuals and sources portray.
That’s it, that’s literally it, it’s not so hard to understand. Now, if you understand this, and you are aware that Anglo media and individuals portray an Anticommunist view, then Wikipedia will simply replicate this view. It’s not just anticommunist, Wikipedia has its share of misogyny, of racism…
