Authoritarianism is authoritarianism. A different coat of paint doesn’t make shit more appetizing.

“It’s got nothing to do with the post but I’m going to mention lemmy.ml for some reason”
Hello. Care to discuss about your comment?
What would you like to discuss?
About the taboo reasons or reason to mention lemmy.ml in this post.
My comment is meant as a potential add on to the meme, clowning on people who are (negatively) obsessed with lemmy.ml and bring it up even though the op did not. There are a few such examples in the comments here, for example.
It was weird, because the comment ended up doing the same. I thought it was sincere and thought “ah, here we go again”.
The op didn’t mention it tho?
Ah, forget it. Didn’t see the LMAO. Sorry.
Honestly I wish I had this much free time 😔
“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!
Reuters would never lie!
The funny-sad thing about it is that they don’t acknowledge the existence of people with legitimate grievances against the West.

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.
What part of it is “obvious nonsense?” Pointing at something and calling it nonsense doesn’t explain why, it’s just mudslinging.

«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».spoiler
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”.

It’s actually authoritarian to not use handcuffs, silly, because you have to rely on mind control. /s
It is known
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.
Cope
Sounds like you have TDS, maybe get that checked out
