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?
founded in the genocide of millions of indigenous people. built on the backs of millions of black people. sustained through the routine blood sacrifice of millions across the globe. how many invasions? how many coups? how many color revolutions? how many human lives?
doesn’t matter. anime is illegal.
a firing squad would be a kindness.
