Lemmy world is as bad as reddit at times, especially their own World News. They were legit saying that China was planning to attack the USA via Venezuela and I pointed out that this is ridiculous, China offers no security guarantees to Venezuela, has no military bases there, and that generally speaking Chinese foreign policy is only centered around forming trade relations with other countries and reintegrating territories lost during the civil war. I was massively downvoted and the massively upvoted response said that, and I kid you not, the very fact that China has an aircraft carrier in its military is proof that they plan to attack the US via countries like Venezuela. That was the whole argument. Leaving Reddit does not escape McCarthyite delusion.
