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?

This is why I can't be in the trenches like some of you beautiful beasts. I'm already past the point where I'd just say "You know what fuck it you're right I want to kill a gorillian people just because I'm so naive as to have actually read a book or two"

Like for real one of those times where in real life I'd sigh heavily and say "You know what I'm good. You believe whatever you want"
