    Or other “western” nations. I’ve never knowingly met someone staunchly ml. That was from an area formerly or currently ml.

    Talking to someone from China etc you generally will not hear them specifically shit on their government. Mostly because the government will come knocking and threatening violence as they did with Naomi. But you will catch them nervously deflecting to justifying it. Acknowledging it without speaking of it. Though even that could not save Naomi.

    Hilariously Lemmy.ml is blocked in China. Where a lot of other Lemmy instances aren’t strictly.

      I used to work in the Bay Area with a lot of immigrants from China and Taiwan. The Taiwanese were like “fuuuuuck China, poohbear shit” and the Chinese were like “can you marry me… please? My parents will pay the rent for 5 years.”
