What’s up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It’s not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

    Not sure I agree with your claim that the West have better human rights. They do more anti-privacy stuff than the rest of the world combined, and are starving 2 million people. The USA deprives the most people of their freedom: 1.9 million I’m seeing, and 99% of them never had a trial.

    Liberals hear criticism of western countries and respond, “They’re not perfect. They have their little foibles.” Liberals hear criticism of other countries and think they’re pure evil.

      This is only true if you are denying that china putting people into camps due to their ethnicity and religion.

      Not to justify US behaviour here but this comment is disingenuous
