Yeah I agree. The apologia for Russia, China and just communism in general (or what ever you want to call it) fucks with your mind a bit. If Lemmy is the only social media you use it quickly starts to seem like this kind of thinking is far more common than what it really is and it can make one question their own sanity when reasonable sounding critizism of this is met with huge flood of downvotes. Especially if the discussion is happening on a place like lemmy.ml. As an outside observer I find it interesting as I haven't really met people like this before but trying to engage with them is one of the most frustrating things I've experienced especially since a mod is going to ban you mid-discussion for "misinformation and bigotry" or something similar while it's clear to everyone it's just CCP level cencorship to silence all dissidence.
