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?

Evil china and evil russia have never done anything to my country while the US and Europe did and continue to do so, is that clear enough?

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

Excuse me? The US treats my people like animals and you want to bring human rights into the picture?

ok but have you considered chinese imperialism!!! they're invading the world with cheaper, better and faster smartphones and ethically made synthetic diamonds that are materially indistinguishable from the diamonds mined by slaves owned by the west and various renewable energy tech that will absolutely be used to steal solar energy from countries investing in it and definitely not help countries divert away from broken-down non-renewable energy infrastructure depedent on Western private companies to "maintain"!!

don't you get me started on russian imperialism.. You don't wanna get me started!
