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.
Not having shit takes about the global south has made me the Cool White Guy at work an that's nice. Turns out the average South Korean dude also does not buy this crap and ahtes to see it
The most awkward moment of my life was a coworker calling me the "blackest white guy he's ever met"
We're friends and I totally understood it in context but like what am I supposed to say to that.
Just a deadpan "cringe" or "that's cringe"
