Anyone: Russia or China did something fucked up.
lemmy.ml: BUT WHAT ABOUT…!
These people are so black and white, it completely boggles the mind. They live in “X is bad so Y must be good!”
X and Y are both completely fucked and if you can’t see that, then so are you.
You’re making an awful lot of assumptions about what I believe when I haven’t said a word of that.
What is it with you people and just making up what people believe, whole cloth? Guess it’s just easier to argue against someone who’s made of straw and only exists in your head.
You’re right, assumptions were made, though your lack of context for posting that picture definitely lends itself to my narrative. Not refuting anything I said also doesn’t help to destraw yourself.
Please, take this opportunity to clear the air and let us all know that you’re aware of how damaging Chinese and Russian policies are for their people, just like Western capitalism for its people.

Russia is a reactionary, capitalist state with policies damaging to their people, especially LGBT people but also generally towards everyone.
I could understand why you might think that I like the USSR based on the context of the image I shared, but the Russian Federation destroyed and replaced the USSR with a capitalist government, so I can’t say I follow your reasoning about my supposed beliefs at all.
As for China, how on earth is that even relevant to the conversation? I have a more sympathetic view of China than of Russia, on account of the whole, “Responsible for three quarters of all poverty reduction in the past 40 years” thing, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have flaws, like anywhere does. It wasn’t that long ago that the majority of Americans held a favorable view of China, before the whole propaganda blitz we’re in now started.
I’m sure that by complying with your request (irrelevant as it was), you’re going to back off from your false, imagined claims about me and not just use this opportunity to latch onto something I said and jump down my throat again, right? Because you’re definitely acting in good faith.
