I mean the joke is for the people who are getting mad and adding the downvotes that you're focused on other countries that are the specific targets of US propaganda and not that Russia or China are paragons of awesome. All nations are flawed but clearly diverting every conversation by leftists mostly in the US to China and Russia is a propaganda tactic by US astroturfing. In every way the US is worse than every other nation on earth.
Yea, I feel this meme is not very conducive to productive conversations. It acknowledges the two largest targets of US foreign policy (outside of the DPRK and maybe Cuba), but does so in a manner that doesn't contradict the US narrative or highlight how they are propagandized. Moreover, there's good reason to hate the Russian Federation, while critically supporting them, but this post equates the RF and PRC in a way that shouldn't really be done.
That's why good agitprop is focused on simple facts that are easily proven and framed in a way that challenges existing notions, and doesn't stereotype the poster.
Yeah, I agree that it isn't particularly effective or clear I'm just responding to the comments I can't even see because my instance blocks lemmy.world.
