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?

    It implied

    Ok, so you’re just putting words in their mouth.

    This is a very clear fallacy,

    Which they didn’t make, by your own admition. You just strawmanned them.

    multiple people will independently see it for what it is and call it out.

    Using the exact same stilted phrasing, word for word, every time?

          Funnily enough they almost always live in western democracies where they don’t need to fear reprisals for criticizing their government, something they wouldn’t dare do in China

          bold assertion to make while pretty much every western ‘democracy’ is cracking down on people protesting for palestine

            Rereading the comment thread is textbook dogwhistling->gaslighting.

            Can you point to some examples?

            I just hope they meet people from China or Russia irl some day, and can learn some empathy towards them. I know I’ve learned a lot from my Chinese and Russian friends.

            I’m from Russia, been living in the US pretty much all my life though. Got to have a front row seat for all the jingoistic warmongering in my time here.
