    South Korea is, by all meaningful measures, a puppet state of the US, created post-WW2 by suppression of the Korean people's right to self-determination through extreme mass violence.

      You can just link to the fucking American Directors Twitter feed (Kenneth Roth is the guy i'm thinking of) and you'll see that this fucking cracker has never seen a country he didn't think could be improved by bombing runs. He also seems to have nearly the exact same worldview as either Samantha Powers or Henry Kissinger, which means he goes straight into the pit.

    Those comments really are just racism. They think they are hiding it by mixing it with thin cut of political/government critique. That one comment saying DPRKers are mystified by cellphones is some serious ignorance and chauvinism.

    Thank goodness for the community of mindless Western drones. Otherwise I wouldn't have been fed the same State Department propaganda for the thousandth time.

      Literally only the first one sounds like a real issue, and even that's far more true under capitalism.

      And that last one... I mean yeah? Most governments tend not to like people possessing illegal media / media they don't approve of

      Nothing described in the community note is even related to what the post brags about, either

    Why should I trust the normies again? Twitter turned into a right-wing hellhole because of how much people prefer to be told what they want to hear over the truth.
