Either that or say NK is a dictatorship. When I first got on lemmy I got dogpiled by the hexies because I dared to say NK is a highly propagandized country (even gasp* moreso than the US). Still waiting for even a single one of those guys to move countries to live under the Kim regime, which apparently is the chillest, friendliest place on earth.
US is absolutely more propagandized than NK lmao, NK dont even need to propagandize their people against US, they just need to tell the truth about the horrific crimes US commited there. What has NK ever done against US to be this demonized? lol.
US bad doesn't mean NK good, ya mook
when did I say that? good and bad are moralist positions, we marxists dont believe in moralism.
You’re all over this thread putting words into people’s mouths then get upset when someone does it back to you. Lmao.
That's the wrong question
Look man, when you drop so many bombs on a country that people start living in caves, and your own pilots start complaining that there are no targets left to hit, I don't think you get to position yourself as the good guy.
Is North Korea a place with a troublesome political culture and a cult of personality problem? Yeah, but if you wanna know who's fault that is, go look in a mirror.
I see that we are conveniently ignoring the 38th parallel and the fact that North Korea started the Korean War.
You're conveniently forgetting that the 38th parallel was an arbitrary border drawn by some white guys on a map, and that Korea was, albeit incredibly briefly, a unified Socialist state in 1945, prior to the externally imposed partition of the peninsula.
Further, while the north did cross the 38th parallel, border skirmishes went on before that point, and who truly "started" the war is murky.
You make it look like it wasn’t agreed by both the US and the USSR, which it was.
Do we consider partial Soviet occupation an “unified socialist state” now?
No it isn’t. There is no doubt that North Korea started the war, unless we are willing to be naive enough to believe that Operation Pokpung was planned and carried forth in response to “border skirmishes”. NK was stockpiling vehicles, ammo, and weapons, provided by the USSR, for a full year before June 1950.
OK? Did I ever say differently? Again, US = bad does not mean NK = good.
why? USA wiped out 12-15% of North korean population btw, they have every single right in the universe to demonize that country.
uh huh
?
yep
what yep? I dont understand your american language
should I translate it to korean?
yep
네
thanks, comrade. I understand it now.
Is that why you support the killing of millions of USSR civis? Like legit?
