    I think .ml is a bit more of a Chinese botfarm given how vociferously they respond to anything critical to China than anything else.

    Plus nowadays from Israel and Russia to India and China, more accurate pictures would just be racks of botnets probably.

      Idk. They could actually be tankies. Doubt it, but could be.

      Regardless, I still wonder who they’re trying to convince that the CCP style of authoritarianism is a good thing. Like half of us are autistic here so at least half of us are just going to reject their statements based on how they words things alone.

        Sadly because some percent are those who did in fact drink the kool-aid as you first suggest. Even if they convince some sliver of a percent in vulnerable positions to think up is down and wrong is right, well, then it paid off. They wouldn’t invest so much in it if it didn’t. It sucks.

        Mind you I’m very critical of my own government. This isn’t about some pissing contest.

        We as humans should all strive to just be better and cohabitate democratically, equitably, sustainably.

      Because Russia proven to be hard to protect as the war goes on, China is just easy win for them. The same goes to Palestine, it’s a very easy side to take, but when we take the same perspective to Russia we might see a lot of 404.

        Since the genocide of palestinians does not affect their countries much, it is an easy issue to use, to flag themselves as being on the good side. That makes pushing propaganda easier, since they have at least one good point, so left-leaning people will start with considering them more likely allies than not. Also blaming someone here for supporting genocide is an easy way, to get people enraged, so they use it also as a derailment tactic.
