Title, I'm a leftist but after reading some things on lemmygrad and here it seems I might have been lied to all my life. I have talked with some people from Cuba and Venezuela (expats) that support the west narrative about poverty and mismanagement. I "believe" that Russia is attacking Ukraine for selfish reasons and that China censors access to foreign information using the Great Firewall, please prove me wrong. Furthermore, it ultimately depends who do you want to believe or there are hard facts from reputable sources that are simply a hidden by the mass media?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for your very civil responses. I'll answer as many as I can!

      I "know" about indian reserves but I know nothing about their conditions but I suppose they are allowed to leave. That fact about the sterilization, I have read something about it somewhere but it was not exactly vetoed by the government I think. I have checked some sources online like this one endhomelessness and it says around 600k, not millions, however it's a very big number nonetheless.

          I’m not from the US, and honestly don’t get why you get personal. I get that indigenous people have been mistreated constantly but what would you do in that situation? I would leave any place with those conditions and try to get a better life. Good point regarding people in cars and RVs, do you have some data about how many?
