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?

      I am not responding and falling into your bad faith discussion, but I am interested in the tirade of a response you are waiting to type out after I say something disagreeable. So enlighten me.

          Your response affirms my reason for not responding. People that view the world in a black and white way cannot engage in good faith discussion. You are just waiting for a reason to attack, not to be enlightened.

            You’re making shit up and using it as an excuse for failing to offer any response at all, dumb and embarassing
