The funny-sad thing about it is that they don't acknowledge the existence of people with legitimate grievances against the West.
"RT? ThaTS PrOpAgaNdA! Not like the NYT or BBC, truly unyielding credible sources!" - average comment from lib instances that encounters a non-western source LMBO!
This doesn't make allies. Why not focus on criticising the fascists together?
Authoritarianism is authoritarianism. A different coat of paint doesn’t make shit more appetizing.
Authority exercised by the proletariat through a DotP is qualitatively different than authority exercised by capital through a DoC.
Read the analysis of the Paris commune in "State or Revolution".
'Spooky leftists are always talking about a "dictatorship!", of the "proletariat(?)",
I don't know what that second word means, but DICTATOR, DIC - TATOR, Dick, and Tators, dick and balls, cock and ball torture "dictatorship", of the PROLETARIAT?! 😱'
Can you even define that word? Because i only see it used as a thought terminating cliche that just means "government i don't agree with". Can you name a single non-"authoritarian" government?
The problem with a lemmy.ml boycott is that there's no one here to point out this obvious nonsense.
Isn't the point of a boycott that you then don't have to deal with something?
I check out your instance sometimes, and it's wall to wall people gnashing their teeth and rending their garments about our existence. They're obsessed with us, and the things they say are all the things in this meme. It seems like a bad time over there.
If it's so obvious y'all would simply point at a credible source disproving us and we'd be done with it, instead you resort to thought terminating cliches and blatant propaganda that is easily disproven even without going to non-western sources. And that's when you bother to google a source.

«для действительного осуществления исправительно-трудовой политики режим в местах заключения должен быть лишен всяких признаков мучительства, отнюдь не допуская применения физического воздействия: кандалов, наручников, карцера, строго-одиночного заключения, лишения пищи, свиданий заключенных с их посетителями через решотку».

I really didn't know what to point at as nonsense... Prior iterations included: ComLib and 
Russian text translated using deepl:
"for the effective implementation of the correctional labour policy, the regime in places of detention must be devoid of any signs of torture, by no means allowing the use of physical force: shackles, handcuffs, punishment cells, strictly solitary confinement, deprivation of food, visits of prisoners with their visitors through the bars".

Seeing MLs post anti-left stuff like this makes me think of Monsignor Wicks from Wake Up Dead Man. Alienating the out-group to strengthen the bonds of the in-group.
This basic social dynamic of people complaining about being deliberately misrepresented reminds me of bad guy from movie
