thats because china is not right wing. we defend the mostly good things accomplished by the current and past socislist experiments in eg. cuba, china, ussr etc, not the bad things that happened there in the way here. the world is not black and white.
we MLs advocate for learning with past experiments and we were never urging anyone to view the tiannamen incident, the ukraine incident or similar, as exaggerated and propagandized as they were by the west as a good thing we should repeat. we don’t want bad things repeated.

none just yet, but probably not. normies love to shit on twitter for being bad but refuse even considering mastodon because its apparently so fucking impossible to use.
same with reddit.
or whatsapp.
normies figured out torrenting pretty quick when media wasnt readily available elsewhere.
mostly text and sometimes short video (eg mastodon, lemmy, signal) does just as much for spreading information and its not nearly as bandwidth intensive. peer to peer alternatives exist too.
there is a subreddit, its creepy as fuck. its all cropped out images of children with just a tshirt or some landmark, and people take guesses where they are from.
