Isn’t what you’re bring “all or nothing” anyway. US is bad, so China is good is just another black and white world view. Both can be bad. Both can be engaged in propaganda.

Westerners feel that way when the propaganda/ideology is threatened. They also often have issues not thinking in all or nothing terms, so they need these dichotomies.
Seeing from the heavily upvoted comments removed by the mods, this ain’t changing anytime soon, lol.

Both bad is still a black and white world view.

No, it’s a summary. You can try to quantify individual acts and weight them against each other, but people aren’t going to agree about values and even if you could really figure out which one is worse, you wont achieve anything. It’s dark gray vs dark gray and your eyes aren’t good enough to differentiate between the two. I do know enough to not swear fealty to either country.

If you legitimately think the two are indistinguishable you’ve abandoned nuance of any kind. Talk to me when China is bombing children in an illegal war of aggression so that their fascist vassal can continue a genocide unchallenged.

What a shallow thought process you have.
