Don’t look up how South Korea formed and how for nearly the majority of its existence it was a military junta that the capitalist world pretended barely even existed until money was poured into it during the 90s at the end of the Cold War.
What a flaccid gotcha. Might as well have written “no u”. The DPRK isn’t dependent on China on such a level that if they were to collapse (which, lmao, sure) they’d go with them. You cannot say the same of the RoK, which is still deeply intertwined with the US military industrial complex as well as Wall Street, and derives a lot of its political legitimacy not from popular support (given how many of their former presidents are jailed) but their proximity to the military power still occupying them with so many military bases.
I mean I don’t disagree with the sentiment here but I’m more referring to the wall-eyed declaration people feel the need to make in every vaguely related thread.
This is all you guys have at the end of the day, just desperately declaring dissenters insane like a bunch of Victorians when it’s always been you living in an insane, fabricated reality, and I know this because I’ve been you.
I imagine you are experiencing something you think is freedom when you barely have a sense of where any of this ‘non-fabricated’ reality actually sits in the scheme of things. Get help before you turn yourself inside out trying to out-reality yourself.

Some of us are having hard times as dissenter’s for being non-white folk or just simply having different views than the Democrats or Republicans. I welcome the discussions about this lol
Can you elaborate on this? I genuinely only wanted to address how arbitrary it seemed to be that someone would go out of their way to just start declaring whole countries as invalid because of American interventionism, which, granted, is not good, to put it super lightly. But I want to know where the need to just inject it wherever comes from.
I’m 100% just having internet arguments here but I don’t think I cast the first stone here. The top comment was tailor made for people to engage with. Personally I’m stressed and when I’m stressed I go do shit like this.
Personally, I don’t know what goes on in North Korea. Nobody does. The media prevents us from seeing North Korea beyond the spectacles that Western media presents. Such as totalitarian tropes, things like that.
Yeah I agree with that. I’d question any of the info I generally get “from” N.Korea. I would imagine malnutrition is real, although sanctions and blockades are just as responsible as a lack of arable land. I also think Juche would be cool if it wasn’t represented by some real weird dudes. Hard to filter the info, I am not an intelligence specialist. Of course this makes it easier to just focus on something else.
Really, a lot of the problems with North Korea’s economy isexacerbated by international sanctions, which prevent other countries from exporting goods to the North. Part of the reason why they resort to more sneaky and dishonest ways to fund their countries treasury.
There has been visits to North Korea using investigative journalism, ruling out things like forced state haircuts (sounds ridiculous enough). A lot of these news sources seem to come from dishonest and sensationalised titles and media. I think it’s best to look at it from the perspective of investigative media, as North Korea is more secretive than the US media pretends it to not be. So, most reports are just rumours rather than solid investigations.
Neo-liberal media and neoconservative media always uses their billionaire funded think tanks to promote American imperialism, values and economics unto the world. If you think this strategically, North Korea has a lot of mineral resources that are exploitable by America.
Holy hells, I love it when the libs cloak their condescending attitude and western brainworms in a holier than thou sense of trying to help or something. Why don’t you go offer your “help” to someone who asks for it, or are that kinda person who doesn’t care for consent?
You’re right, that is kind of condescending. I actually hate it when people use the get help line but, no, I don’t really care here. It rattled you enough to comment on it for someone else so where’s the consent now? You like imposing your own sense of superiority in place of someone else? Mad no one directed their energies at you so you step in where they could have easily responded themselves? Holier than thou indeed.
South “Korea” is about as real as Taiwan. They exist only to serve as Vassal states for the US.
I have a bridge to sell you if you think Taiwan isn’t real.
Imagine supporting Chinese imperialism purely because it’s not western. Could never be me lol
If someone like waffles, does that mean they must hate pancakes?
Lol. Chinese imperialism is when China doesn’t want a US outpost on its border.
Cope and seethe, reunification is inevitable
This reeks of authoritarian dipshittery, but I’ll still ask about your reunification plans
Reunification is inevitable. Cope and seethe
i think that’s up to koreans to decide, not the west in any of its forms!

what a thought terminating cliché
Imagine wanting to be told what to do lmao.
Imagine being a grown ass adult and basing your politics around childish contrarianism
That seems to be the MO of you and this thread.
E.g -“Korea”- and the disregard of South Korean self-determination
South Korean self-determination? Sounds cool, when do they start?
When China collapses

Is China stopping them?
“This sounds like Stupid Bad Guy talk”
Damn dude wicked insight, you don’t sound 12 at all.
-Fails to “gotcha”
-Doesn’t engage in reunification discussion
-Accuses someone else of being 12
I guess I can’t expect much from a River Rock.
No, he’s right, lol.
I don’t care about downvotes and I understand where you’re coming from…
But I need you to understand you sound fucking nuts.
I mean, it was a couple of Americans that decided where the North/South Korean border would be. South Korea basically is a vassal state.

It’s become cliche to point out projection but holy shit
I want to know what you think you mean by this.
Simple, this is you and you want it to be me
So “I know you are but what am I”. You’re a child.
-Every fascist with a cartoon view of the world when you point out their rampant projection
You asked, not my fault the answer makes you feel bad. Go enjoy your freedom

Because the media has manufactured consent and the CIA is known to be an unreliable source of information.
Is that really it? So what’s the perogative, point it out every time Korea comes up?

Word soup
I like how you just say things you’ve heard and think you’re making a point.
