Edit: I’m convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

The lemmy.ml admins who do this kind of thing are proud tankies. Pro-Russia, Pro-China, Pro-North-Korea, authoritarian “communists” are a marginalized class, dontcha know?
I can somehow understand pro-China and less so, but still conceptionally grasp pro-Russia. But how on Earth can you really think NK is not a brainwash concentration camp?
Tankies operate on a very simple belief system.
US bad > Russia don’t like US > Russia good
same for north korea, cuba, anything
We could call that the Chomsky fallacy.
I remember seeing to mod in the post commenting on someone’s mention of North Korea. First he posted an image detailing the deaths caused by the US and South Korea during the Korean war, and that was it, no mention about NK specifically. Later he said that there was no proof that NK is brutally repressing its citizens. Then when someone said how everyone who fled NK said so, he said how they only do it for the shock value to get stories out and make money out of that, or something like that.
Basically people like that find anything anti-US as good, and if you say anything bad about those countries, they’ll ask for proof and then call whatever you provide fake.
lmao
I also don’t see anything when I close my eyes and plug my ears.
Basically, “capitalism bad = anything anti-capitalism good.” And that’s pretty ironic to both support both NK and China for that reason, since China is an authoritarian capitalist state operating under the name of communism.
I’m actually glad MLs have ramped up the pro north korea talk recently. I was starting to doubt being against these users that claim to be progressive, but then I saw them defend a clear-cut present-day dictatorship.
