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?
Idk man. I don’t believe in any of that I’m just chillin.
yeah I see more posts about what lemmy.ml folks are like than experience such myself. Im a bit instance blind though as I also just hang and just block folks if they are too annoying. I don’t need to get upset and sing from the rafters how bad they or their instance is. Ok I do bitch about the guy where I had to block like over a dozen alts but he was like pretty annoying.
It might be because this place is so small. A single idiot screaming loudly will take up the whole room.
