"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?

Nuclear explosion means an explosion due to chain reaction in fissile material (and thermonuclear explosions also can get shortened to just nuclear explosion). Chernobyl had a hydrogen explosion, due to hydrogen build-up, caused by steam-zirconium reaction, which was caused by runaway overheating, caused by combination of design flaws and personnel mistakes.
