It really is crazy. A lot of people here seem to miss the relative nature of countries' behavior and think they're all as bad as each other when the difference is huge.

Especially when it comes to China and Russia, people seem to think they're about as bad as the West when nothing could be further from the truth.

Maybe thats due to more people from the hard right haunting this place, or the general shift of the tech crowd to the right. I'm not sure what it is exactly.

Really? In my perception, the "US is evil so it can't criticize anyone else" more often came from the left.

I agree, I should have included the hard left which tend to be apologists for China and Russia.
