It seems to be a very common fallacy in geopolitics to believe that a rival of the US must automatically be morally better. You see plenty of "left wing" imperialism defenses that blame Ukraine for the invasion and insist they should give up and do whatever Russia wants them to do.
It's apparently disappointingly complex for some people to believe that X can oppose Y and both of them can be horrible bastards. They can't take criticism of China or Russia because they automatically see an implicit "America better" that's not really there.
yeah, that's fair. I think that it is more common to like a thing (tiktok) and defend it however you can.
Absolutely, yeah. I'd like to think I'm able to give a more objective take since I got into TikTok late, but I honestly don't know that I do.
