I've never seen anyone praising Russia here. I've seen critical support for the CCP and USSR but that is not the same thing. Critical being the operative word implying that people are recognizing the merits of those governments without offering them full support. Shades of Gray my friend.

Then you haven't been paying attention, plain and simple. Full on Russia praise, full on China praise, with both countries unable to do wrong. Revieionist history. Gaslighting. Plenty of it around.

Can I have links to people saying these things? Just genuinely curious because ive not seen anything like this either

... Seriously? Links to shit that's happening everywhere? Just go to a random thread about Ukraine, Poland or similar. An example from a week ago:

My friend did you just pick a random link and hope people wouldn't click it?

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/17026803, the link you posted, does nothing you've suggested, and even if it did both of the comments highlighted under that link are controversial, neither having a significant weighting in either directions for community support.

I'm not sure what your point is with that one.

It's pretty much just saying that Russia is no longer communist.

Perhaps you think pointing out that communism isn't inherently bad is somehow supporting Russia?
