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?

      Why do right wingers and “both sidesers” always imagine the left uplifts cults of personality like they do? Lefties mostly don’t care about this guy. His fanboys stan the guy pretty hard but his fanboys ain’t “the left.”

          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

      right, so an abusive narcissistic POS person they wish they could be.

      make sense he’d abuse his dog rather than train it. god forbid you like… have empathy or compassion for another living thing and use that to bond with it… lol
