Why would you consent to having an MRI if you had no idea what it was for?
You have no idea what they scanned, but know that the results were good?
When the doctor gave you the results, were you not interested in what he was checking for?
Doubt.

I just watched a tech video that reviewed two North Korean smartphones. Its autocorrect assertively blocks out or autoreplaces anything deemed unfit by the government, along with absolute control of what can be done on it, and absolute fingerprinting of anything sent.
I was reminded of this for no reason.

Nope, you asked the question and I gave a decent answer.
I’ve identified the source of your consternation. You were under the impression that you gave a decent answer.
yuh buh nuh capitalism bla bla-
You can find zero cases of a political leader from the Capitalist west that had gulags and mass executions and mass graves for the state sanctioned mass executions.
I am uninterested in body count comparables due to capitalism, due to cancer, due to car accidents, due to tobacco, sunspots, whatever.
Name the heads of state from the west who have been executing citizens, and dumping them in mass graves. See if you can find an executioner who was striving for one execution every three minutes, like i did for Joseph Stalin.
Ya but capitalism yip yip yip
Sit the fuck down.

Yep, bad dude. Bad, bad dude. His boss was too. You didn’t, and won’t, get any argument on that from me… blah blah blah …othes they wear.
I’ll explain for you (everyone else is able to pick up what you evidently can’t) why your equivocation attempt sucks ass, and why you should therefore, sit the fuck down, as was suggested previously:
My initial question was, Why do lemmy.ml users get hysterical when Joseph Stalin gets described accurately? Note that there is zero reference here to economic policy.
The entirety of your response has been Argle bargle whaddabout capitalism yip yip yip you capitalist bootlick blah blah blah whaddabout whaddabout whaddabout.
Joseph Stalin was a fucking awful man is a stand alone, easily defended premise.
Meanwhile, you want to pivot so hard to hurr durr capitalism bad, that you’re going to snap your own ankles.
Sit the fuck down.

Prolonged systematic suffering and death, huh? If you hate that sort of thing, you’re really gonna hate that Joseph Stalin guy.
But here’s some more gruesome details about Stalin’s favorite executioner:
Blokhin initially decided on an ambitious quota of 300 executions per night, and engineered an efficient system in which the prisoners were individually led to a small antechamber — which had been painted red and was known as the “Leninist room” — for a brief and cursory positive identification, before being handcuffed and led into the execution room next door. The room was specially designed with padded walls for soundproofing, a sloping concrete floor with a drain and hose, and a log wall for the prisoners to stand against. Blokhin would stand waiting behind the door in his executioner garb: a leather butcher’s apron, leather hat, and shoulder-length leather gloves. Then, without a hearing, the reading of a sentence or any other formalities, each prisoner was brought in and restrained by guards while Blokhin shot him once in the base of the skull with a German Walther Model 2 .25 ACP pistol.[13][14][15] He had brought a briefcase full of his own Walther pistols, since he did not trust the reliability of the standard-issue Soviet TT-30 for the frequent, heavy use he intended. The use of a German pocket pistol, which was commonly carried by German police and intelligence agents, also provided plausible deniability of the executions if the bodies were discovered later.[16]
I bolded the part where Blokhin is literally dressed like Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Like I said, sit the fuck down.

An estimated 30 local NKVD agents, guards and drivers were pressed into service to escort prisoners to the basement, confirm identification, then remove the bodies and hose down the blood after each execution. Although some of the executions were carried out by Senior Lieutenant of State Security Andrei Rubanov, Blokhin was the primary executioner and, true to his reputation, liked to work continuously and rapidly without interruption.[14] In keeping with NKVD policy and the overall “wet” nature of the operation, the executions were conducted at night, starting at dark and continuing until just prior to dawn. The bodies were continuously loaded onto covered flat-bed trucks through a back door in the execution chamber and trucked, twice a night, to the nearby village of Mednoye. Blokhin had arranged for a bulldozer and two NKVD drivers to dispose of bodies at an unfenced site. Each night, 24–25 trenches were dug, measuring 8 to 10 metres (26 to 33 ft) in length, to hold that night’s corpses, and each trench was covered over before dawn.[17]
Blokhin and his team worked without pause for 10 hours each night, with Blokhin himself executing an average of one prisoner every three minutes.[2] At the end of the night, he provided vodka to all his men.[18] On 27 April 1940, Blokhin secretly received the Order of the Red Banner and a modest monthly pay premium as a reward from Stalin for his “skill and organization in the effective carrying out of special tasks”.[19][20] His tally of 7,000 shot in 28 days remains the most organised and protracted mass murder by a single individual on record, and caused him being named the Guinness World Record holder for “Most Prolific Executioner” in 2010.[2][3]
Ya, totally equivalent.
Sit the fuck down.

I honestly have no issue there. My issue is the claim that such atrocities don’t happen in democratic institutions.
I can’t recall any democratic countries, fragile or not, that can hold a candle to the atrocities committed by Joseph Stalin.
Can you point out the equivalent that we should look at in this case of whataboutism? Since we’re talking about millions being killed by Joseph Stalin, what are the comparables?
