the user https://sh.itjust.works/u/goat appears to be impersonating the mastodon user https://hellsite.site/@goat
same profile picture, name, however the sh.itjust.works user has decided to create a hate community, https://sh.itjust.works/c/meanwhileongrad as well as spreading misinformation about the lemmy developers.
I would normally just block and move on but I find it dangerous to allow someone to impersonate someone else on the fediverse (an admin too) and begin starting trouble.
Why would you spend this much time writing up an argument defending authoritarian governments? I genuinely don’t understand why you would decide to waste your time with this. Yeah I don’t like America either but these communist countries are equally if not more evil. The USSR is dead so I don’t know why you’re debating people about their irrelevant staristics
Clearly a propaganda account.
China is aiding many countries with the BRICS and BRI and because the western governments are responsible for 1.6 billion dead through poverty, war, and famines such as:
skull famine

Famine of 1876-1878,
apartheid
1/3 kids live in poverty,
fund llegal paramilitary death squads,
Bengal Famine of 1943 1943,

The fact that Western governments have done bad things in no way justifies the bad aspects of ML nations. It just makes both hypocrites.
Despite committing genocide against my ancestors etc. Western nations have done good too. Does it outweigh the bad? That’s a different discussion. Authoritarian nations capitalist or socialist are bad regardless.
Blaming “the west” for shit that happened in the past doesn’t achieve anything, even if you are right. All humans can be corrupted and all governments have corruption.
Now instead of listing random events without explaining any sort of connection to the vague “evil west”, why don’t you explain how your warmonger Russia and your genocidal Chinese governments are any better?
