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 isn’t good and no leftist, especially MLs, support execution of LGBTQ+ people. Hexbear and Lemmygrad don’t even allow “”““ironic””“” slurs. Why would we support killing people based on their sexuality?
No they didn’t. Literally fake news put forth by the Trump regime.
No they didn’t. The Berlin Wall was to prevent NATO spies from just wandering into the USSR.
No they didn’t. A few local bureaucrats did, who were all convicted by Soviet courts for this. Once Moscow got word of what happened, they immediately began an emergency response.
Yes. And it’s a good thing. No fake news, no AI slop enshittifying everything, no flat-earthers, no antivaxers, and no neo-nazis plotting mass shootings together.
No they don’t. You’re thinking of the US.
The DPRK literally has animators who worked on Japanese anime from North Korea. If you knew anything about the anime industry, you’d know it’s a major controversy about Japanese animation studios subcontracting work to both halves of Korea, China, and several other countries.
This is a deeply unserious person.
i think it’s worse than that, i think this guy thinks the Iron Curtain was a physical thing
