The oligarchical Russia where women and queers are regularly degraded? Russia good.
The hypercapitalistic China which has actual child labour and mass surveilance? China good.

Somehow they get offended when you point this out
they never think that it’ll be them – They’re one of the good ones
What’s the phrase they like? Leopards ate my face? I bet they could add some content to that community.
Leopards ate my face, my hands, my whole body!
