Because they don’t live under them.

Your post is deeply unserious to the point of seeming like bait, homie

The topic is this thread alone is bound to get someone to ask, “Why hasn’t Lemmy.World defederated from Lemmy.ML yet?”

Why are they in lemmy.ml? Because they wanted to congregate somewhere and Lemmy was made by far left people and is federated so it’s probably a good choice to avoid censorship.

Why do they admire authoritarian regimes? Each may have a different reason but one common reason is because those regimes are anti-western or socialist/communist. So if you’re socialist/communist, hate a lot of aspects of the west or just like rooting for the underdog but still want a big team you can throw your support behind then those countries are the obvious choice. Of course you can be socialist, communist or anti-western without supporting authoritarian regimes, but then you basically have to admit that every time socialism/communism has been tried it has failed and you may be discomforted by the thought that there’s no powerful countries fighting for humanity and become hopeless.

Why are people socialist/communist? Usually because they see a lot of problems with capitalism, often to do with inequality, while socialism/communism promises total equality and fairness.

Why are people anti-western? I wouldn’t say the people we’re talking about are consistently anti-western, since they don’t oppose many things the modern west represents, like LGBTQ, technology, “democracy”, human rights, common law, federalism, hedonism, progressivism, etc. It seems to me they only dislike the aspects they’ve been told to dislike by western mainstream media and education, which focuses on things like the Atlantic slave trade (rather than slavery in Africa, the middle east, eastern Europe, pre-Columbian America or literally anywhere else in all of world history) and Nazi Germany (rather than Communist Russia, China, North Korea or Cuba).

Why do countries under the US/NATO/the West siege adopt strong tactics to survive?

It must be nice to live in the luxury of West propaganda.

But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.

Gaza, Nam, Korea, Iraq and many more…

Man I just made an account and happened to pick the most controversial one apparently

Whose simping for Iran? I want both sides to lose, but the Iranian citizens to not be harmed. It’s two fascist regimes fighting each other tbh (well 3 really if we’re counting Israel). I’m on lemmy.ml though cos I’m an idiot and didn’t realize how this site worked, might switch instances.

You probably don’t speak any of the languages from the countries you listed. Almost everything that you know about them you’ve learned from “western” sources. You, like many others come to the fediverse and are exposed to counter narratives for the first time in your life. This comes as a shock, and you think that such people must be crazy, paid shills or bots. I encourage you to stick around, and actually read what people are saying.

Also, don’t mistake nuance for unqualified support. Do I like Iran’s government? No, but that doesn’t really matter. Right now my government (who does far greater harm to the world than any others you mentioned), is killing people there. I know from my experience and knowledge of history, that the US “intervening” is not going to end up improving the lives of the people there.

China wants to eliminate Islam

No it doesn’t, buddy. The zionist terrorist state that you keep supporting in your comments wants to eliminate Islam.

Here are the Muslim populations in China, the majority of which you’ve probably never even heard of in your CIA approved state propaganda:

They are not communists or socialists. They are campists.

The mistake is assuming they care about the political idealogy they ascribe to. They exist exclusively as an oppositional force to whatever the West represents. The reality is that if the Western hegemony disappeared tomorrow, they would lose their entire raison d’etre. They dont care at all about the principles of communism. It’s an esthetic that they can bury themselves in order to criticize the West.

Because engaging with the reality of effecting the goals of communism would entail coming to face with the brutal process of realizing effective change. You know, being politically effective. That would undermine the entire movement and modus operandi.

Birds of a feather tend to flock together, right?

Well, a lot of uneducated incel know-it-all losers congregated on that instance. It’s Lemmy’s red-headed stepchild.

Every populace has its misfits and failures. Lemmy is no exception.

Agitators don’t discriminate. The left doesn’t acknowledge that they are susceptible to the same infiltration as what happened to the far right throughout the 2010s that spawned the current era of fascism.

The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.

Spoken like a true western chauvinist, your crimes are far far bigger than crimes of all of those combined, they arent even a fraction of your evil, you are just brainwashed
