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?
What’s genocide of Gaza nothing compared to? What could possibly be worse than that? What worse than threatening an entire country with “the elimination of a civilization”?
OP didn’t say there weren’t problems in other countries. Also, Israel \ US isn’t “the west”, everyone I know hates that shit and Europe just gets the terrorism end of this bullshit.
But maybe I can still find equivalents to the Palestinian genocide, in the death famine of all north Koreans, in the genocide of the Uighurs, in the killing of 40k Iranians by it’s own regime.
Two things can be true.
My brother in christ. Seriously? Just go read about what the US did to North Korea. The famines in North Korea are squarely the fault of the US. The US literally bombed every single building in North Korea and continued to drop napalm on the country until the people there had to live in caves to not be stuck with flesh burning chemical glue bombs. What the actual fuck?
The genocide where the population continued to grow? That genocide? Very interesting genocide that one.
It was reported as 30k. In two days. Please, go read something. Anything. Hell, ask a.i. and you’ll be better informed than you are now even if it hallucinates. Israel hasn’t killed 30k in two days and they ghettoized an entire nation and bomb densely populated refugee camps with military planes, tanks, and artillery. There is no way Iranian police killed 30k people in 2 days with small arms fire.
Sorry, I think you mean 40 million Iranians, murdered and eaten raw by Ayatollah Khomeini himself.
Deeply unserious propagandized individual. The reeducation facilities (that’s what they were) in Xinjiang have been closed for 6 years, there was not and there is not any genocide. As for North Korea, they did endure food deficit, you can thank the international sanctions banning food exports to NK for that.
Is this a real post? Am I getting trolled?
Food deficit! Hahaha!
Don’t you know that building schools and infrastructure is LiTerAlLy gEnOciDe?
