    so cute the way he edited the title, the article originally says South Korea. He legitimately made the conscious effort to change the title of an article and posted it to a worldnews community. So strange they think North Korea is a paradise, it’s really weird.

    The comments are great as well, right-click to view.

    How dare you use whataboutism! only I AM allowed to use whataboutism! Banned!

    Yogthos is a moron he literally posts Chinese propaganda if you ask about Tiananmen Square it’s my favorite on the Internet. If you get him to do it check out the link he provides all sources say the exact opposite it’s so funny they literally think they can just claim sources and people won’t check

      I wouldn’t say he’s a moron. He is filthy rich though, his extremely wealthy family fled from Russia to Canada, and naturally it’s landed him a pretty cushy job where he doesn’t need to do anything. He posts 25-50 times daily, every day, for five years and that’s just on Lemmy. He posts on other sites too.

      He is the bourgeoisie, and that must drive him mad. Probably explains his oddities

      It’s a shame Tankies don’t have any values they stand upon, oh well, they are all harmless afterall.

      Maybe not a moron, but sad. I dunno why he acts like some rethorical genius when he just evades all points people make him and instead makes up his own strawmen to argue against.

            Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

            I’m guessing they’re neudivergent and incredibly misinformed, so they put all of their efforts defending a completely wrong ideology they somehow got stuck on.

      I got tired of him saying how great a country was at year X, while ignoring what happened at year Y that made the country collapse at year Z.

    Wow 25 years living in here and I didn’t know that this place has been occupied by the burger state! I thought I’d at least paid dividends in burgers!

    Surely if a place is occupied by, let’s say, the CCP, you can also make songs like “China go home” or “Fuck the CCP” just like tankies here have been doing against the burgerstate for the last decades, right?

    All that burgerland talk is making me want a bison burger, but all the Korea talk is making me want nakji-bokkeum. Decisions, decisions…

        Oooh, bison bulgogi, bison galbi, either would be good in bibimbap. I’ve got a couple things to try.

        BTW: Yesterday I ended up going to the burger joint, but I got the bone marrow burger with a couple drams of Glenfarclas 18.

    I love how they claim to be the champions of the non-anglos, and yet they have no fucking clue what my family in “occupied Korea” wants or needs. I wonder if if they would have the gall to dismiss them for being “too American” or whatever even though they dont even speak English

    It’s one of those things where yes, you can recognize that the US supported an inhumane regime in the south that was at least 50% the reason why Korea was pushed to civil war, simply for its own selfish geopolitical purposes… while also recognizing that there’s been a lot of water under the bridge since then. And while the South made good progress on its governance, the North went totally the opposite way.

    But when your brain is fueled on “everything the US is against, I must support”, such considerations go out the window.

      Bruh, the South Korean regime before democratization was terrible, but the human rights standards of either Korea had very little to do with why civil war broke out. Both Koreas agreed that there was only one Korea, but the Soviet occupied North had already established itself as a ML regime and was uninterested in the UN supervised elections.
