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?

      Suuure bud, Hexbear is nearly all-English for no reason. And my family over there actually agrees with you about everything, and isn’t just trying to make bread (well, sticky rice) like the rest of us.

      I’m pretty comfortable with moral grayness, at least. Canada has treated it’s natives very badly. Would you care to share some about China?

      Yes, that’s a trap. Because you and the moderators of this instance do think they’re just the good guys. Which is an opinion you can have, I don’t know why you’re suddenly bashful about it.

        Literal medieval peasant brain, believes in good and evil and assumes anyone who doesnt must just be lying about it. Like how a thief thinks everyone is out to steal from them. Sad.

        You’ve spent this interaction running though every cope and deflection in the book, because on some level you recognize that you’re so far out of your depth you’re at risk of barotrauma.

        Having this pointed out will not deter you, because your ego is too fragile to let you walk away.

          I am pretty curious why a moral nihilist would bother with taking a contrarian side to geopolitics like this. Why not just parrot the local boo-rah jerk and profit, or avoid politics altogether for minimum stress?

          But, you want to stop. Interestingly, you’ve tried to couch that in a reverse-psychology way that makes me do it for you, which is weirdly bashful again.

          Fighting about if I want to fight would be a waste of my time, and I don’t have any problem doing this for you. Disengage.

            Go back to fucking reddit, my god.

              Isn’t that what happened?

              I don’t believe for a second OP actually cared about my emotional motives for continuing or not. It was a probably a strategy, honestly, although I tried to be nice and assume wasting my time wasn’t the main plan.
