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?

Lmao, we replied at almost the same time in completely different ways, that's amazing

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

lmao this sort of thing is probably why people accuse us of all posting on the same schedule, clearly we just clocked in at the Kremlin

Lmao fair, I just woke up an hour ago and checked for notifications, then saw this exquisite hot take and had to comment

I actually did the exact same thing, the bait posts are just too fun

Interesting how much you we're able to derive from my question.

Why don’t you live in China or Russia if life is so bleak in the western countries?

"if you don't like it, leave" was the sentiment, I pointed out how you sound. It sounds like something I would expect from an american chud- hence posting a shirt I thought you'd like.

Nah, that's how you want to understand it, because you're here for the fight. As you can see from cowbee's answer it's a valid question.

They're more charitable than I am, frankly.

I am Russian and the reason I don't move back is because I'm trans and have a life here in the US that I'm not looking to uproot. I'm more inclined to do organizing where I live now and I certainly don't have the resources to move back home and start from scratch there. On top of that it wouldn't gain me anything, I would be trading one set of reactionary assholes in power for another.

If life is bleak I'm going to do mutual aid and try to find like minded people to survive with, not run away.
