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?

    While the support to Israel is undeniable and the EU members supported the US in unnecessary wars multiple times, it’s hard to read “the EU is sometimes worse than China” without questioning what you are talking about.

    “While it’s true that EU has and continues to do things far worse than anything China has done, how can you possibly say that the EU is sometimes worse than China!”

    Its impossible to read this without coming to conclusion that you fundamentally don’t consider non-westerners human, except when they can be used as a cudgel against their enemies. Imagine trying to claim that we should consider China’s treatment of Muslims worse than the countries currently engaging in a modern Holocaust against Muslims.

    And Tiananmen Square was forty years ago. If you actually listened all of the things that the EU has done since then that were as bad or worse, you would be writing a novel. You would need to have a Tiananmen square massacre every day for a decade just to equal the amount of people the West killed in Iraq alone.

        What a fucking vile thing to say. In over a decade of genocide accusations against China, The West hasn’t been able to produce a single example of even one Uyghur being killed, even though Xinjiang is perfectly accessible and anyone can go there to find perfectly normal cities. Even Wikipedia had to rename it’s “Uyghur Genocide” page because they couldn’t actually find enough evidence.

        Meanwhile, Gaza is a closed off death camp where journalists are being shot on sight, with the full support of both the institutions and individuals who are making the Uyghur genocide accusations in the first place. None the less, we see daily videos of mass death, with even western estimates for total dead in the hundreds of thousands after less than two years.

        You don’t care about Muslim lives, they are not human to you, you only care about them as a cudgel against the West’s enemies. This is made undeniably clear by the fact that you try to claim China killing zero Muslims in “definitely worse” than the West (and it is the whole West) exterminating an entire nation of two million people.
