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?

You’re just linking to your own comments here (or linking to your own comments that then link to more of your own comments). Why bother?

Because I brought a truckload of receipts to those comments.

You’re just mimicking the rhetoric we hear from every fascist dictator on a crusade.

That’s not how any of this works. If Hitler says the sky is blue, that doesn’t mean I’m mimicking him when I say it.

Right now, you’re the guy telling us about how all these brown people being kidnapped and trafficked to an El Salvadorian gulag are criminal terrorists here to destroy the US.

A straw man you just made up about me. I’ve never once mentioned El Salvador on Lemmy.

If this were the 1960s you’d be the guy telling us how Vietnam is a threat to our freedom. If this were the 1930s, you’d be telling us that the Jews are a threat to our way of life.

More imaginary stories you’re making up in your head about me. Deeply unserious.
