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?

    I conceded that millions was indeed an exaggeration

    You mean a lie, you conceded that it was a lie.

    If you don’t know what Gulags are or doubt their existence, I guess it’s clear everything you know about Russia is from its current state propaganda.

    Where the fuck did you get your information from?

      I did not, a lie is intentional.

      School, you should try it.

        For it to not be intentional, you would have had to have a reason to believe it was true. You did not.

        School, you should try it.

        Your school taught you that Soviet Gulags are a contemporary thing?

          I know it’s over a million by most reasonable estimates, so I said millions. I should not because it’s indeed not at least 2 million. Funny how you continue to focus on this mistake rather than the fact that all those people died in a completely pointless war of aggression of your beloved oh-so-not-imperial Russia.

          It taught me that there are still forced labor camps in Russia, it doesn’t matter whether you call them Gulags or not.

            Do you? Do you “know” that? Because you went really quiet when asked to actually present these “reasonable estimates”. Sounds like you’re still lying.

            so I said millions. I should not because it’s indeed not at least 2 million.

            So you lied.

            continue to focus on this mistake

            Not a mistake, you lied.

            rather than the fact that all those people died

            Oh look, you lied when you said you cared about numbers of dead.

            your beloved oh-so-not-imperial Russia.

            Oh, we’re just pulling accusations out of our ass now? Ok: you should follow your beloved leader Adolf Hitler, seeing how you love him so much.

            It taught me that there are still forced labor camps in Russia, it doesn’t matter whether you call them Gulags or not.

            Oh ok, so you lied. Again

            Do you call US prisons Gulags?
