Genuinely asking, why are there a lot of “China good US bad” posts on lemmy? Like is it Chinese citizens posting this, pro-communist westerners? Bots?
I ask because when I see pro-capitalist posts elsewhere I assume they are bots or Americans that watch too much Fox News.
There are some Chinese users, but the majority are just communists from different countries, not neceessarily western ones. Lemmy was made by communists, so there are more of us here.
to break the monotony of the deluge of china bad articles that infest all of the western internet?
China gives us hope that multipolarity is coming and that our countries can also develop and lift millions out of poverty
It's just communism isn't vilified around us like it.was, still is, around you your whole life
That's the absolute truth.
and a surprisingly bitter pill for so many to swallow; it tells you instantly who has been chugging the propaganda kool-aid and they get smug about it when you try to point it out to them.
True.
but...isnt china bad? edit: this was a joke, sheesh
No, it's one of the best countries in the world for the working classes at the present moment. It's regularly improving, and though it has its issues, it's doing well to work through them, which is more than can be said of the dying western empire.
The ROC had its white terror moments.
Unlike this picture, real life contains many shades of grey. There are some areas that could be improved but in other areas they excel about any other nation. It's not black and white.
Life doesn't have to be about identity and this picture screams "my identity is a tankie", which is cool but just means it's shit bias. Equally, saying a generic "China bad" screams that someone doesn't alot about its politics
