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?


There is no genocide in China, people with far more credibility on the topic than any westerner have investigated in person, you should try listening to them
Jesus fucking christ, seriously? Your counter to “the majority of muslim nations on earth convened to investigate these accusations in person and dismissed them entirely” is a cartoon? And not just any cartoon, but a patronizingly simplistic cartoon depiction of fantasy asia in which fantasy China is using literal mind control? You’re trying to argue against observable reality by pointing to a racist caricature in a show for children, truly astounding.
