    No, a lot of users, especially on Lemmygrad, support Russia and their invasion, for example. Hexbear supports China’s dictator. Most .ml I’ve interacted with are also on Russia’s side.

    Don’t act like the only thing is anti-capitalism. That’d be fine. It’s everywhere on the fediverse. No, those instances stand apart for a reason, and you know that.

        russia is better than the US

        Sorry, that’s just objectively wrong. Both are bad, but Russia is nowhere close to the us.

            Oh yeah, the soviet union nevvvvvver involved themselves in coups. That’s something only evil westerners do.

            (Please don’t looked at the history of Africa, or southern/southeat Asia during the cold war.

              the soviet union has ended 30 years ago and its internationalist policies stopped way before that.

              and i’m literally on the receiving end of US and european imperialism. the US sponsored a brutal military dictatorship in my country and on most of our neighbours, and still sponsors the plundering of our natural resources and workforce. shit, they tried to put a dictator in power in here recently, we barely escaped.

              modern-day russia doesn’t have as much influence throughout the world, nor does it have as bloody military by a big margin.

                What the U.S did was terrible, obviously. That should go without saying.

                Although, I’m pretty sure Russia does have influence, with all the troll farms and whatnot.

        china is not a dictatorship.

        Dictator: one holding complete autocratic control.

        Yeah, I think it is.

        russia is better than the US.

        Well, at least you’re admitting what I said is true. I could argue with you, but it doesn’t matter. The fact isn’t even if it’s better than the US. I never made a statement on that. Your people are apologists for Russia and defend it’s invasion of a sovereign nation. Can you agree with me that’s bad? No whataboutisms or anything. Just admit it is bad.
