Like there’s literally no point at all in talking to these people who believe Kim Jong Un strapped a man to a rocket and blasted him into space and murdered his family. You can show them shit written by westerners debunking everything and they’ll shrug and say “ok but North Korea is still bad.” Tell them that North Koreans are subhumans in South Korea and they’ll shrug and roll their eyes. “How can they be discriminated? They’re Koreans!” Then immediately assume they’re a sinister spy when they decide to go back home.
I don’t go out of my way to defend North Korea but my god. These people make me sound like I’m an adherent of Juche because they simply cannot fathom that perhaps they’re being lied to.

This is some sectarian bullshit. Not saying I don't believe you but this is not helpful or constructive.

"Everyone who isn't ML holds [x view]" Is not only silly but non-materialist.

Anarchists should oppose hierarchy, (also you're meeting one now) the US is the top of the global hierarchy of capitalist hegemony. Therefore, anarchism has to be anti-imperialist and reject western narratives of opposing ideologies. You probably know more anarchists that understand this than you think, hell I even know libs that understand this but they are still trapped in a world of civility and electoralism and rules.
hiding inconvenient truths won't benefit us any. the people being called out need to do better, not be coddled
I'm not saying to coddle anyone, call people out when they are wrong by all means but making broad generalizations like this is unhelpful on many levels.
