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?

There once was a father who told his son, "All swans are white." One day, he and his son went to Australia on vacation. While there, at a park with a large pond, his son pointed out, "Look, Dad, black swans!"

"No, Son," the father laughed, "all swans are white!"
