it’s more wild how eager libs are to insist that a small, relatively poor country that has no real relevance to most people’s lives is some kind of wacky hermit kingdom where you can be executed by artillery strike for having the wrong haircut, every city is made of cardboard for propaganda purposes, and people have to push the trains along the tracks
especially when all of this is presented with no evidence, is often directly contradictory, and makes absolutely no sense if you think about it for more than five minutes
If you think NK is anything but a shithole you are an idiot. If you think it’s normal for you people to be complete recluses but then to come out in force when someone mentions a shithole like NK you are also an idiot.
why? i have been shown no credible evidence that it’s a “shithole”
the more idiotic thing would be to believe the often contradictory and ridiculous things that have been said about the country
says someone from a weeb instance no-one has ever heard of
You know damn well you’ve seen credible news from NK. You’re just obsessed with the second world and have anything that goes against your special interest
And my instance doesn’t seclude itself until it needs to brigade random posts taking about authoritarian hellholes.
nope, i require outlandish allegations to be substantiated before i believe them, because i am capable of critical thought
hexbear and lemmygrad don’t “seclude themselves”, we (and they) are everywhere across the fediverse, which is why liberals complain so much
you are the first person i have ever seen from your instance
Radlibs like Hasan the Streamer indulge in that aspect themselves. Blaming tankies for having “bad optics” by supporting NK without slandering it. Once they said they same thing about supporting Palestinians and opposing Zionism. Wrong they were and wrong they shall remain. True solidarity screams into the turned faces.
