    because you think a fucking hammer and sickle means communism and equality. anyone can fly a fucking flag with no actual meaning.

    i've already defended what i think is righteous about north korea. if you can just ignore the suffering of the people who live there, then you're not really a fucking comrade.

          To clarify, you really do believe that under Kim Jong-un's tyranny, everyone but him is starving, even the high-ranking military officials who surround him? And, at the same time, that Kim Jong-un continues to exist? How exactly do you justify that obviously incorrect view? What, in this fantasy world, keeps Kim Jong-un alive?

            i already pointed out that there are healthy people i've seen in videos. you making this "all or nothing, they would just eat him" view, while you watch people in america suffering in poverty, homeless, and in vast numbers, and saying "why haven't they just eaten them" as if it's some kind of proof that there's not a vast difference in equality is bullshit.

              , while you watch people in america suffering in poverty, homeless, and in vast numbers

              If the starving homeless people in the US were also the people who surround the president, that president would not continue living for very long. Like, my opinion of the US president is meaningless because the only time I would ever even see him physically with my own eyes is from behind five dozen highly trained supercops who have studied for years every possible way I might try to kill him. That's why they don't give a shit whether I'm homeless or starving or anything else.

                i don't really get what you're pointing out here, even homeless people in america are in more decent shape than 4/5 people in this picture.

                  1. No they're not, because the people in this pic are in average shape.
                  2. even if they weren't, America is a sparse-populated, recently genocided, recently settled country with tons of land per person

                        you're a fucking chud. you lack critical thinking skills. you're just "well this wasn't it so i'm going to just go as far away from this thought as possible" while keeping the same line of thinking. learn to fucking question the shit that is fed to you and if it makes sense it makes sense, theoretically you may have some point, but if you actually think that north korea is epitome of communism you have fucking hit a fucking wall and are just spouting fucking bullshit. yes, standing up to imperialism is amazing, yes self defense is amazing, allowing your people to fucking starve and suffer is fucking bullshit. if that's the shit you subscribe to you're not a fucking communist. FUCK OFF.

                          Nobody thinks this. Except the strawman you invented I guess.

                          allowing your people to fucking starve and suffer is fucking bullshit

                          DPRK is situated in a mountainous area where it's fucking hard to grow food. They are literally draining the sea so they can get more farmland . The fucking fields are in every space they can put shit into. What more do you actually want them to do? Attack the south? Get taken over by american chuds and their puppets? Build a fucking space elevator and farm in the orbit? Goddamn.

                              Real "Emma Goldman complaining about the Soviet Union not being communist while it was in the middle of a civil war" vibes.

                              No, don't bother with the witty comeback. Consider me disengaged.

                          This is coming from someone who unironically thinks that "1st world US homeless people being well-fed" is an inherent failing of 3rd world countries

                          Might as well start shaming India for having more malnourished people than Britain

                            i think that the fucking vast difference in health between high ups in north korea and the welfare of it's regular citizens and workers speaks for itself.

                            fuck you.

                                    if you are pretending these people look fucking healthy you're just a fucking lost cause, and once again fuck you. look at any fucking video of actual elite in north korea, where they're in fucking suits and not grunts and they don't look like this.

                                          Aggressively making inflammati statements that you know will be controversial and then demanding people disengage when your point is questioned is being a baby. Especially when you're being way more hostile than anyone else.

                                          I didn't want to go full-on argument mode because I don't like arguing with people

                                          But in this entire wall of text you've written to multiple people, you've never EVEN ONCE articulated how:

                                          1. the dudes in the picture look malnourished (they don't, ask literally anyone, go pull up a friend and link them this photo and ask their opinion)
                                          2. why malnourished people in DPRK are fundamentally different from malnourished people in other 3rd world countries

                                          All you've done is call people names.

                                            they look like they're fucking starving. the only person that looks healthy in that picture is fucking kim jong un.

                                            their fucking ruler has all the power in the world to call on their allies to help them. if you're going to let your countrymen wither away, at least wither away with them.

                  Are you counting Gary from Spongebob in your total number of people visible in this picture? Or are you counting this vaguely face-shaped blob of pixels among the victims of communism? Regardless, I don't understand where you're getting the idea that these people are unhealthy. They look fine. Can you articulate what you think is wrong with them?
