Such a lame, cliched, drone-speak of a comment. You sound like when all the MAGA turds simultaneously started sarcastically typing “orange man bad” online. One brain, infinite fingers.
It’s so crazy that I’ve never met one then, only people with takes that are nuanced and are based on non-CIA approved sources (although I really think this only applies to Xi, I’ve never seen a single person supporting Putin)
Seriously though, I think you’re pre-emptively blocking out what people are actually arguing just because you perceive it to be russian or chinese or whatever propaganda. Almost everyone I’ve talked to/seen has had reasonable takes that are based on evidence, and a huge part of that is asking why they believe what they do instead of just screaming “TANKIE” at them
Yeah. I haven’t seen a single person actually praise Putin, because he has not achieved a single thing worth of defense and praise in all of the years he’s been Russia’s leader.
Xi however is a different case. His country is doing very well on many metrics and is threatening to overtake the US hegemony on the world stage. Around the time when China seemed to start catching up to the West, you started reading about how China literally was 1984 irl.
Outfits connected to the same US that is the single biggest reason for everything bad in the middle East and the Islamic world started condemning China for islamophobia. These same US based outfits also condemned China for worker abuses, despite the fact that their country was built on the backs of slaves, and still utilities the labour of millions of undocumented immigrants. That’s not to speak about how prisoners are used as cheap workforce in America.
The US and its propaganda arm has spewed so many lies and destabilized so many regions that I simply cannot trust anything they say about any other country – especially not a well-positioned rival. Why is China the eternal Big Bad? The same atrocities the Chinese are accused for have been committed by many allies to the yanks, with comparatively non-existent backlash and critique. The US lies to accomplish its strategy goals, something that even the blindest US shill can’t deny. Is it that unbelievable that they would lie about China?
Then you look at China and see a nation that isn’t only threatening the US position as the world leader, but also doing much more in service of its people than all American presidents since Reagan combined. You notice how narratives about “social credit scores” are exaggerated beyond parody without any criticism in Western media, and your trust to the West’s judgement of other nations starts to falter.
Why would I believe the US and its rhetoric about China? I know they don’t give a single fuck about human rights, they just want to “win”. To me, it’s more likely that the majority of whatever China is accused of doing is exaggerated or simply untrue.
That’s what leads me to “defend” the country. I’m not Chinese, I don’t live there and I gain nothing by being positive to them. However, westerners talk about China with such racism that I simply refuse to partake in. Westerners are also guilty of far uglier crimes and should therefore just zip it.
I also love to see that there exists a government that can jail billionaires and force them to pay their fair share to the people from which these leeches get their riches. In the US, you’re supposed to eat a rich man’s shit with a grin.

That’s not actually true. Putin first two terms coincided with super high oil prices which brought in a shit ton of revenue. His administration used that money to stabilize the ruble and ensure consistent payments of state wages and pensions, which for the decade prior had been totally chaotic and people were not just angry but in serious economic precarity. That alone earned him a massive amount of popular support. Basically, he presided over a decade of standard of living increases that had seemed impossible before he was elected.
That also includes simping Putin and Xi.
You’re either with US, or you’re with the
TerroristsCommunists!Like fr
Are these Putin and Xi simpers in the room with us right now?

Yes they’re from 3 Lemmy instances, one of them being yours.
