To be honest, I think most of these people are edgy contrarian Western people if not straight up agitators. Yes, the current US system does abhorrent things. Yes, it is often hypocritical against Russian and Chinese policies. But the mental gymnastics required to go from "US imperialism and worker exploitation bad" to "Russian / Chinese imperialism and worker exploitation good" is a huge leap.
