      Same reason they get bent out of shape when you tell them they have privilege. It starts to crack their idealistic worldview and they aren't ready to cope with reality.

        Most people want to think of themselves as one of the Good Guys (everyone is the protagonist of their own story and shit)

      They think that liberal democracy is the the most virtuous system to ever exist, which means they can do no wrong, as opposed to those backwards "authoritarians". They also believe in an updated version of the 'white man's burden', which they use to justify foreign intervention. They don't think of it as an occupation, but as a means to "spread democracy" to the third world "savages".

        The joke is that they still continued their white men's burden after the Nazi Holocaust with the Indian Residential fake schools that served as a templete for the Nazi death camps and that continued after 1998 in secret. Like the Holocaust deniers, the Birtish diaspora still fabricate false information to reduce the severity of the fake school Holocaust with the lies that it was only 'cultural' genocide, that it was not funded from conned Indigenous parents, or that reparation was 'paid' (although they conceal that the conditions of reparation is that the fake school survivors need to live in federal reserve concentration camps in dangerous barran wasteland with planned starvation and planned chemical attacks).

    It's honestly very cool to see this sort of post on such a big subreddit (LSC), whatever issues that sub has.

    Breaking down anti-DPRK propaganda is such an interesting issue for moving people left. Nearly everyone (even many self-described leftists) in the imperial core believes the "Hermit Kingdom" mythos, but the history of the Korean War is simultaneously accessible, a real "history buff" topic, and serves as a whirlwind tour of every horrible action the U.S. took in the Cold War (especially starting it in the first place). South Korea has a similarly damning history that can be read from non-leftist sources.

    Even more simply, the stories that circulate about the DPRK are so fantastical you can sometimes get people to think with just a "you really believe that?"

      It's the common refrain from fan or hobby communities. "I just want to enjoy my treats without having politics forced into it." Politics is only views and thoughts outside of the (intensely reactionary) norm. Meanwhile those same posters will happily drag in every tweet and Tumblr post they can find to get mad at, because they're not doing politics

      That sub has always been a right-wing shithole for fascist crybabies to piss their pants every time they see someone express an opinion anywhere to the left of Reagan.

      If seeing people stand with a population being brutalized makes you that angry, you're probably a demon.

    With the American Empire waning, I hope to see occupied Korea freed soon. Big Copium I know.

    uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
