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?

    But you care about the guy. The left at large doesn’t know who he is in the first place and the only people I ever see bring him up are zionists and maga.

      And just to be clear, I only care that he shocked his dog. I agree with him on many policy level things. But good job trying to purity test me, this is why progressives can’t get shit off the ground, cause of reactionaries like you

          Lol, the completely irony and lack of self awareness in this comment when you replied to my within minutes midday on a Tuesday.

          Here’s a mirror you need to take a little longer than a glance into.

          And since you’re freaking at straws, let me take away one more for you to reach for. I actually volunteer to canvas for local progressive candidates. So I’ll be taking that cookie now.

          What dafuq have you done for your community lately besides bitch online?
