      Lately, they have been trying to tell me that North Korea is a democracy.

            I lived in SK. It’s a racist shit hole. I’ve also been to NK for work and it’s absolutely and even bigger, darker, shit hole.

              Wow, a country that experienced harsh Japanese colonial rule from 1910 until being forcibly divided by the US after the second world war, creating a war-torn pariah state facing crushing international economic sanctions, is a shit hole? Color me surprised!

                You act like I don’t know that. I also don’t see how that excuses the insane levels of racism towards anyone not from the peninsula they exhibit.

                  Huh??? Did I say anything about that? Does this racism excuse anything we’ve done to them? Seriously, project much?

                  What the hell should we do about it, fucking invade them again? Continue blockades that don’t even achieve their stated purpose and just make things worse for their people? Cause that’s gone over so well… the only real interaction with most foreign nations being that of sanctions, acts of war and colonization, arbitrarily imposing their own values, and constantly talking down on them both as a nation and as a people, definitely is going to make them love foreigners.

                  It’s not an “excuse” brother it’s just material reality, why do I have to be “excusing” anything? Is it too much to treat them like humans worthy of a basic level of respect??

                  Let’s talk excuses though. It’d really be no fucking wonder if they hate us like you say they do. You would hate foreigners too if they talked about you like that and preyed on your downfall the way western nations do to the DPRK. In fact you’ve shown very clearly that you have the exact same hate which you’re trying to condemn here. Calling their home a “shithole”, your only response to a very brief overview of their history not being one of understanding or empathy but simply to lash out and call them racist, which I can only assume is to imply they deserved it. What’s your excuse??

                    Your reading into it too much bro. Your putting like an entire dictionary full of words in my mouth.

                    How much interaction have you had with anyone native to the area? It’s the same kind of racism you would experience being different in the rural US. You can virtue signal all you want but it doesn’t change that the breed of racism they exhibit is built from ignorance and cultural failures. There is a reason they have an insane suicide rate in SK.

              If you’re willing to share, I would very much appreciate a new post about this.

      They’d campaign hard against Lincoln for being a defender of slavery, despite him being the only anti-slavery candidate with a chance of winning in 1860.

      They don’t care how many marginalized groups are beat, raped, starved, and murdered, so long as they can jerk themselves off over how pure (or nonexistent) their ballot was.

          John Brown, who was widely celebrated by Republicans in the Union? The ‘Liberals’ you so despise?

            I’m not even usaian but I now that republican and democrats were the opposite sides compared to today. Are you deliberately trying to be dishonest or are you just stupid?

            Also liberalism is a word usaians have a hard time grasping what it is. it’s a specific ideology not a party. Neoliberal ideas are shared on both heads of the US plutocracy

              Yes, and the Republicans of the time were very much liberals.

              Are you deliberately trying to be dishonest or are you just stupid?

                  Maybe you could have vote harder against slavery?

                  So glad you made sure that shitlib Lincoln wasn’t elected, it would have been truly terrible if someone who wasn’t an unconditional supporter of slavery was in charge of the country.
