"Why does Lemmy.ML admire authoritarian regimes ? " (lemmy.world)

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?

Once again the concept of "critical support" is lost on them. I doubt there's many MLs who think that all those states are perfect and have never made any mistakes ever. Iran is not a socialist state, and to me it's absurd to assume that communists will just completely support it without a single criticism. They just don't want the narrative to constantly shift to "Iran bad" to distract from a more immediate criminal war being waged by the US and it's underlings.

If you want to do the hierarchy of evil Olympics, it's hard to top centuries of imperialism by Europe and later the United States.

It seems designed to push people in the west into complete apathy at best, and support for western hegemony at worst. I live in the west and things are far from rosy at the moment. I'm not going to just ignore it because "at least it's not Iran" or some other bullshit. Iran, China, North Korea, etc. are not currently dropping bombs and destabilizing regions 1000s of miles away to try and terrorize entire populations into submission.

Good day

I support the revolution that ~~feeds the children~~ doesn't bomb schools.

What do you mean?? China's been destabilizing the US this whole time by sitting back, doing nothing, and maybe selling some solar panels.

~~Yeah I believe in critical support. Critical, like I rolled a 20.~~
