      Long and easily verifiable history of western media stories about NK being proven completely wrong+obvious foreign policy motive for lying=dismiss stories until they’re proven true

        But… That’s just an argument that you don’t know the situation in NK. Not that the situation is anything, good or bad?

        If I lie to you where the fire is, it does not mean the fire is cold.

          Not knowing would be a good reason to assume nothing, I don’t have to believe the fire is cold to doubt that there’s a fire at all

      Compared the glutenous western capitalists, of course! The people of NK rebuilt their country with blood, sweat, and tears after the US bombed them to hell and back under the direction of the occupiers and despite the west’s utter determination to hold them back technologically with ridiculous unjustified sanctions

    Yeah after a good bit of my own investigation, they just seem on par with any other poor country. Not something I’m going to worship, but not something I’m going to spend time complaining about either.

      “You’re from instance I don’t like” isn’t a particularly strong argument

        wasn’t making an argument, I was just pointing out how easy it is to see when a .ml is posting…

        but I’m not taking your bait my friend. enjoy your part of the day you’re in.

          You seem pretty confused about who made lemmy and why. The devs and the project itself have had explicit political stances from the beginning and that’s a great thing.

          I know that, the entire point of my previous comment was that you had no counterargument to make, you’re bad at this

    Downvoted for speaking the truth as usual, most westerners react poorly to being reminded that they’re not immune to propaganda

      Capitalism’s ‘bread and circus’ might be the most addictive drug of all, they close their minds off to anything that goes against the narratives because the western audience would rather not think about it and enjoy the fruits of the exploitation. Blissful ignorance and all that

        Except they’ve been steadily scaling back both the bread and the circuses for decades now and westerners are generally as willfully ignorant as ever
