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?
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?
Volunteer for campaigns, phone bank, door to door. Doesn’t amount to much because the area is mostly maga and collaborators aren’t part of my community, they’re traitors. Unfortunately most of the supposed progressives and leftists still think third party is viable. So here we are.
