Firstly my comment was clearly the comment-equivalent of a shitpost to express generalised disdain for the morally bankrupt hypocritical preschool-behaviour of almost all centralised human power-structures on the global stage, so its slightly disturbing that your threshold for considering something as "analysis" sits that low.

I'm not sure why you are trying to defend China by comparing it to EU & US for me. I lampooned them too. I am an equal-opportunity cynic.

I don't even understand how Russia, not even mentioned here, ends up taking like 4/5 of your comment.

Did you notice I used the word "extend"? ...and mentioned several major countries? I think your mistake is in assuming I am either an AI bot or an intellectually equivalent human "bot" with the naive agenda of waving one team's flag by trashing all the other flags, and hoping to be on the "winning side" of a zero-sum argument. I am old & cynical enough, especially having actually lived and worked in almost all of the mentioned countries, to have very slowly and very bitterly developed justified disillusionment with the suit-and-tie pantomime masquerading as "leadership" pretty much everywhere on the planet, and know there is no "winning side" for humans the way things are on this planet. If Russia gets more airtime in my tirade at the moment then I'd just say they (who am I kidding, "he") needs to stop making it so damn easy by generating a virtual firehouse of cruelty purely to make line go up.

I refuse to cheerlead for any nation-state until the world becomes a very different place. Until then I only cheerlead for every single person on their path to growing up, stopping obsessively treating the very administration of people's lives like a football match, getting off the cruel->"fake nice" spectrum, and getting on the "actual kindness" and "mutual respect" bandwagon. But lately I'll admit I find myself doing that cheerleading rather halfheartedly and dispiritedly.
