Similar can be said of a number of our enemies today though, especially Russia. This isn't to say that we support the Ukrainians purely based on empathy or that the US isn't still an exploitative power, but just deciding that anyone that doesn't like the west must be good will inevitably lead one to bad conclusions, because no country does literally everything wrong, and because oftentimes, the enemy of your enemy is just another enemy who's interests happen to be misaligned with the first one.
If Zelenskyy seems like a fascist to you, one wonders how you'd react to an actual fascist.
How about as this meme displays, Ukraine and Uyghurs. Still 90%?
Not stoning gay people to death. Still 90%?
Allowing people to elect their leaders by voting in a democracy. Still 90%?
Giving women the same rights as men (even allowing them to drive!). Still 90%?
Freedom of press? Freedom of association? Freedom of speech? Still 90%?
