Anyone who praises Xi Jingping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and <insertAuthoritarianMurdererHere> as hard as I routinely see on lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad is an awful person and deserves derision, contempt, and distrust. They can call themselves a “leftist”, “socialist”, “communist”, or a whatever-ist. Fundamentally, they’re edgelord bootlickers and temporarily inconvenienced dictators-in-waiting.
“wHaTaBoUt USA, iSrAeL, nAtO, etc.?”
You can hate “The West”, their people, their foreign policy, and their economics.
Doesn’t mean you should suck dictators’ dicks because they’re “not The West”.

Liberals keep telling me to support the lesser evil in elections, but when I apply that to geopolitics they get mad…
If you really want to get them mad, apply it to pizza toppings.
Cool beans. Go support the “lesser” of two evils.
Like Dessalines?
wtf is that wrong with xi jingping
Well, to start, he’ll never relinquish power. According to him, he’s in charge forever. That alone is all one needs to thoroughly distrust and oppose.
thats not how chinese democracy works, and i’m not sure where you got that from.
he will be replaced when their “parliament” of sorts decides hes not doing a good job anymore.
Why the homophobic comment though
How is that homophobic? There’s no mention of the gender of the bootlicking edgelords.
You don’t have to be a man to suck dick.
I’m sorry, if you really WANT to suck a dictators dick go ahead I guess…
It’s not about whether you’re sucking dick or not. It’s about whose dick you’re sucking.
