A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Keep it nice people!
Because they don't live under them.
The US isn't authoritarian? Largest prison population on earth, still got slave labor written into the constitution specifically for prisoners, constantly surveilling and imprisoning and killing innocent people, not authoritarian enough for you?

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 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...

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.
