minus-squareTheLurker@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down4·1 year agoDon’t try to backtrack and play the victim card. Your position is as transparent as glass. It boils down to being apologetic to authoritarianism regimes, and dismissing their despicable actions, while over exaggerating the problems of western democracies in order to paint them as the “bad guys”. It’s nothing new and not as subtle as you think.
