Riiiight, that’s why on a lemmygrad post literally defending Russian war camps as western propaganda (and how the oppression of Uyghurs was completely fabricated) I got downvoted to hell for even suggesting that China was complicit in Uyghur ethnic cleansing, as if they’re not de facto enforcing Putonghua onto all ethnic groups within its territory - but they said it’s fine since why is teaching people skills and languages bad…

I’m sure you’d make the same argument that it’s actually to the benefit of a third of African counties, India and the Philippines for their official language to be English. See the British empire just wanted to teach them languages and free market skills so they could escape their “poverty and backwardness” (the literal words the Chinese gov uses for Xinjiang residents) - so I don’t see how your point about “none fully support Russia” stands when hardcore MLs are literally full out defending any actions Russia and China take as not only justified but morally good…
