    all that civility shit goes out the window when it's a communist country. this is why i find it obnoxious being scolded by libs on violence bc all it takes is the right type of innocent person for libs to be frothing at the mouth for violence

      Every Lib I know balks at the idea of inconveniencing landlords and business owners by default, but simultaneously say Thanos was right and half the human population needs to be culled to save the other half. But who gets exterminated will be "random" so it's perfectly fair.

              Explain to me how I'm wrong rather than explaining to me who I am, as if that would somehow make me wrong.

                        you’re just projecting your blind acceptance of bullshit propaganda from a dystopian nightmare state onto me?

                            K but you've done nothing to explain how they're not communist or how they are supposedly a "monarchy", you've merely asserted it over and over like an idiot. not sure why you're expecting other people to put a lot of effort into educating you when you've put in absolutely none yourself, as evident by the absolutely absurd characterization of DPRK as monarchical.

                            Based on the url I'm guessing it's a link to Edward Said's work on Orientalism if you wanted to find it

                              Cool. Is it worth? Does it explain why Asia is special and can't have shitty dystopian (as if there's another kind) monarchies like literally everywhere else?

                                It's definitely worth a read, the concept of Orientalism is really important to understanding how western media portrays the rest of the world. It's a pretty important text for understanding more modern literary and political theory

                                  I've heard of it! Had brief explanations from my lit prof dad! But I don't think asia is special. I think kings are shit. The tankie gaslighting is really fucking gross.

      There was some Twitter goon with a big following who was crowing about doing a new Civil War Against Blue States. And I know there are folks on the other side of the line thinking we need to "Liberate" Texas or Florida or some shit.

      This is eventually going to come home.
