Anyone who praises Xi Jingping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and <insertAuthoritarianMurdererHere> as hard as I routinely see on lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad is an awful person and deserves derision, contempt, and distrust. They can call themselves a "leftist", "socialist", "communist", or a whatever-ist. Fundamentally, they're edgelord bootlickers and temporarily inconvenienced dictators-in-waiting.

"wHaTaBoUt USA, iSrAeL, nAtO, etc.?"

You can hate "The West", their people, their foreign policy, and their economics.

Doesn't mean you should suck dictators' dicks because they're "not The West".

Liberals keep telling me to support the lesser evil in elections, but when I apply that to geopolitics they get mad...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

If you really want to get them mad, apply it to pizza toppings.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 weeks ago

Cool beans. Go support the "lesser" of two evils.

<insertAuthoritarianMurdererHere>

Like Dessalines?

Why the homophobic comment though

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How is that homophobic? There's no mention of the gender of the bootlicking edgelords.

You don't have to be a man to suck dick.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure there's some homophobic roots in there. But that aside, why would anyone use cock sucking as an insult? Doing that would only discourage cock sucking, and who in their right mind would want less cock sucking in the world. Makes no sense.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

why would anyone use cock sucking as an insult?

Probably because of the perceived power dynamic between the cock sucker and cock suckee.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

There shouldn't be a power dynamic under normal sucking conditions. Maybe if you have a power dynamic kink, then sure, do your thing, but regardless, people shouldn't turn consensual sex acts into insults, that only discourages fun.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How does that make sense?

I can bite their dick off whenever I want, surely I'm the one with all the power here.

What if the dictator busts all your teeth out for a better time?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

So, rape?

Is that what this is? A rape joke?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I dunno, would you willingly suck a dictator's dick?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Whether I did or didn't, it wouldn't be some sign of subservience or weakness, which is what the comment was implying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

You’re thinking too hard about this lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sorry, if you really WANT to suck a dictators dick go ahead I guess...

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It's not about whether you're sucking dick or not. It's about whose dick you're sucking.

wtf is that wrong with xi jingping

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Well, to start, he'll never relinquish power. According to him, he's in charge forever. That alone is all one needs to thoroughly distrust and oppose.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

thats not how chinese democracy works, and i'm not sure where you got that from.

he will be replaced when their "parliament" of sorts decides hes not doing a good job anymore.
