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?

cw: nazi bar

I can't imagine a more useless waste of time than being on a community dedicated to anti-communism. What's funny is when the literal fascists join in and the anti-communist liberals are always surprised that their nazi-bar is welcoming of nazis.

The australian running that comm has such a predictable worldview

'left right terminology doesn't have a place' - sounds like they prefer the third position.

They're a zionist, but in the mealymouthed 'two state solution' vein, probably due to their shared experience as a colonial occupier.

Checks out. PJ has similar views, the MWoG regulars seem to all roughly orbit around the social chauvanist viewpoint. Essentially, SocDems that really like NATO and the IMF, they just want more of the spoils of imperialism while maintaining it.
