you know how people, especially on twitter, try and share their absolute dogshit takes without a care for humility, just unbribled stubbornness

everybody seem so full of themselves and I just can't bring myself to trust anyone unless they show a hint of doubt over their own thoughts, and that's flat out absent from most social media

idk, I don't think I did a good jb describing what I feel, it's hard to accurately put into words

but like, do you have stuff you usually keep to yourself, because like you know the thought isn't well rounded or something and you don't want to say something incorrect. or like interrogations about stuff you can't really answer by yourself

    We (as in Westerners) should oppose sanctions and support the Korean peace process as one between North and South Korea, without any American interference.

    Going further than that is silly.

      I think it's also reasonable to believe that basically anything we hear about the DPRK from American media is propaganda. I don't need to know what the reality of the situation is to know I'm being lied to about it.

      Why would "going further than that" be silly? Like, you should learn about countries and their socialist projects. Who cares if you can't get some super specific insider look at the "negatives". You can at least learn about the major things the government does. They have their own news site with English translations.

        Obviously learning more about North Korea is fine, I never opposed that. I meant going further in terms of support. From all I've read about it (mostly The Korean War: a History and Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea), post-1994 famine North Korea has lost almost all semblance of socialism.

          How? Like what has it done to "lose its semblance of socialism"? Point out something specific. There isn't even a trace of capitalist exploitation in anything I've read about the country.

      Well yeah, I support peace in Korea and ending sanctions of course. Thats a no brainier.
