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?

Personally I haven't seen anything pro-Russia, so I can only comment on pro-China content.

Seems to me like a lot of people are finally realizing most of what they knew about China was American propaganda, and it's not actually that bad. Though of course, people being polarized as they are, they're moving from one extreme to the other, and not somewhere in between.

Plus, China has a lot of resources to spend on its own propaganda. This especially affects younger generations, who spend a lot of time on TikTok.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

I'd say it's quite likely.

Got any evidence to back up this assertion?

I’d say it’s quite likely

Or maybe people just disagree with you
