After seeing a megathread praising Mao Zedong, an actual mass killer, and a post about a guy saying “99% of westerners are 100000000000% sure they know what happened in ‘Tiny Man Square’ […] the reasons for this are complex and involve propaganda […],” I am genuinely curious what leads people to this belief system. Even if propaganda is involved when it comes to Tiananmen Square, it doesn’t change the atrocities that were/are committed everywhere else in China.
I am all for letting people believe what they want but I am lost on why one would deliberately praise any authoritarian system this hard.
Can someone please help me understand why this is such a large and prominent community? How have these ideals garnered such a following outside of China?
EDIT: Thank you to everyone who has responded! This thread has been very insightful :)
More data for you to ignore I guess lmfao

You really are pathetic.
It’s like some one asked the question “why don’t people hire clowns at birthdays any more?” And then an entire troup of clowns showed up to act out all the examples of why no one hires clowns anymore.
Thanks for making it easy.
Say stupid shit and people will call you out.
What you imagine to be happening here is not what is happening here
You’re getting dunked on and can’t handle it. Lil guy.
Even onlookers are shitting on you. I almost never get voted up, and here we are. You must really suck.
