    Depending on where you go, it’s either “this country is a fascist regime as reported by these hundreds of outlets worldwide and here’s the shady shit they’re doing”

    Or

    “This tragically misunderstood DEMOCRACY (they call their leader PRESIDENT not DICTATOR emoji spam) is leading the world in literally every metric, have made 10,000 breakthroughs in every science but THE WEST won’t let them share, here’s 3 state sponsored media outlets confirming what I just said gif spam

    Not a whole lot in between.

      And any argument against China will be summarized “China bad” in bad faith argument so brazen that it’s almost impressive. For example, TikTok is blameless because if you oppose it, you’re just saying “China bad”. Fuck the Internet sometimes.

      I’ve blocked exactly one person on Lemmy and it’s Yothgos or Yogthos or whatever the fuck their name is. They’re either a propagandist in China or just a very sad person who posts prolifically about how amazing China is, dismissing any criticism against it. It’s weird, sad, and annoying seeing them pop up in any thread about China. I assume they have or will pop in this thread but I don’t know as they’re blocked.
