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?

I read to "shitposts" and thought OK this isn't bad, aside from the horrible misspelling of marxism-leninism.

Then I read the next paragraph and thought "WTF is this shit?"

Scrolled up and saw your UN and couldn't believe what I was reading.

I agonizingly made it to the end, saw it was a quote, audibly sighed.

Glad you're not embracing some sort of idealistic socdem theory comrade lol
