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?

As to be expected, there is (almost) no class analysis in that thread whatsoever. Could Lemmy.ML’s anti-imperialism maybe have anything to do with the fact that most of the regulars are lower-class people alienated by their capitalist régimes? No! It’s because the regulars lack “antitankies’” superior brains, case closed.

With such anticlimactic responses to puzzling questions it’s no wonder that I gave up on being an ‘antitankie’ long ago.
