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’m going to give you an honest and in no way meant to be demeaning answer, because you helped start that by giving me the same even though I rightly didn’t deserve it because my first comment to you was in fact demeaning.
That being said, where did op say they blocked your instance?
It’s alright.
I think I see where the confusion started.
I was referring to @CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de’s comment (where they say “I’ve blocked that instance.”) and you were referring to OP (who hasn’t said they blocked .ml).
Does that sound right?
Yes, but the comment of yours that I’m responding to is a top level one meaning you were replying to op directly.
