worldnews is left, I'm told
Not only that, but the xenophobic comment crowbars in a Marvel analogy

If only he had access to the Antarctic and it's plethora of thicc penguins, but alas...
You watch the neighborhood. :stalin-cig:
I'll watch the skies. :kim-drip-too-hard:
It is literally impossible to come up with anti-DPRK propaganda so stupid that Americans won't believe it
Birds in North Korea avoid humans because the only train in the country is powered by birds tied to ropes. It takes 100,000 birds to pull the train from one end of the country to the other.
Very badly. You see, once the train departs the single station, the station is dismantled and carried by starving orphans, piece by piece and reassembled at the other end. If the orphans don't make it in time, they are executed. Fortunately, the birds are really fucking slow, unfortunately so are the orphans. If they successfully complete their tasks, both the orphans and the birds are executed to preserve state secrets.
chuckling until "unfortunately so are the orphans" then started fucking hootin' and hollerin' and howling like a hyena
I never get this. Channels of info in and out of the country are tighter than a duck's arse, they admit that when they bang on about smuggling in bibles or usb's with copies of Hamilton or whatever the fuck the latest grift by some dodgy ngo is. And then they nod sagely at snippets of really dodgy friend of a friend bullshit as if it's the gospel.
Yeah, everyone has blind spots I guess but come on. A minute's reflection should tell them it's prob horseshit.
Average South Korean when a pigeon shits on their head: "Ah yes the familiar smell of love, I am #blessed to live in the #freeworld."
If there was ever even a grain of truth to this bullshit it would only be in the 90's after the destruction of the USSR when the :cia: created a famine in the DPRK
Surprisingly several of them go back north after a while. And are used in northern propaganda to prove how awfull it is in the south.
unlike the south, who would never use them for propaganda
Aren’t like half of “defectors” people who just left temporarily for a job and then a bunch of anti-communist groups started throwing money at them?
Seems like they need a more gradual integration. Seoul is a glittering metropolis that almost defines itself as the polar opposite of North Korea. Big modern cities would be very overwhelming. Can they not start them out SOMEWHERE RURAL AND QUIET FOR A YEAR WITH OTHER REFUGEES LIKE THEMSELVES. Let them make connections and a support network of people who, quite literally, get where they are coming from. Give them some integration classes on tech, recent history and local/world culture, let them fuck around on the Internet with safe search enabled before giving them a phone and sending them out in the world.
Imagine coming out and just being shown unfiltered Reddit! I'm afraid and confused on here most of the time.
:i-told-you-dog: woke concentration camps

Treating them like literal children :cringe:
Anyway I'm sure these redditors would have the same opinion of such courses in, oh I don't know, China
The more history I learn, the more "the left" bugs me. It generally referred to demsuccs/succdems in legislatures, groups trying to do gradualism instead of revolution. Associating with them confuses people into thinking we're on the same side as liberals.
i would hope abandoning their family will some day be given as one of the reasons. But they are North. They are animals really
mm yes the north korean asiatic-type skull is predisposed to not caring for their families
Left as in libbrained, which is as best as it gets on :reddit-logo:.
I'm not going to go on reddit, but I assume it's a storm of condescending "oh they're so brainwashed, the poor babies" and a splish of "fucking worthless commie g**ks don't appreciate freedom and should be killed" ?
Yep it’s basically “North Koreans are stupid subservients whose brains break down when they enter South Korea with so much freedom and opportunities”
"Those brainwashed NPCs don't know what's good for them. They can't cope with independence " :reddit-logo:
Yeah they hate South Korea because it’s too much freedom for them to handle, not because they were deceived, abducted, sexually assaulted and bribed into betraying their families and community
Lol come on dude… they were literally the aggressors. Maybe don’t start a fucking war if you don’t want your civilians injured and killed during war. It also wasn’t even close to the same as it is now. There weren’t guided munitions and civilian deaths were unfortunately very common during that time. Just look at WWII in Europe or the Pacific. MacArthur was 100% wrong in pushing past the 38th parallel and disobeying a presidential order, but to say that the US was committing an atrocity while defending a country which was being invaded and weren’t the aggressors, is in my view an intellectually dishonest view of conflict. Not to mention that the North was shelling major cities in South Korea which killed scores of civilians and attempted a land invasion of those same areas (which also resulted in scores of civilian deaths as they killed anyone suspected of sympathizing with the UN force).
The South Korean government at the time were autocratic, and were no saints; they committed their own atrocities. The north organized and invaded South Korea by pre-planning with the soviets and China. They also supported the insurgency in the south prior to the actual outbreak of war both with North Korean fighters and by supplying weapons and trainers. It was an organized offensive by the north to bring the south in to the “workers revolution”.
There were a similar number of civilian deaths on both sides of the Korean War. With approximately 245 thousand South Korean civilian casualties and 282 thousand North Korean civilian casualties. These are estimations and the best numbers I could find. So you can hardly call out the United States as committing “atrocities” against civilians without also claiming the same for the North Koreans/Chinese and Soviets, unless you’re being intellectually dishonest and have an agenda. The North was infamous for killing villagers on their retreat who they’d suspected of helping the UN forces. The South was infamous for killing their own citizens they suspected of harboring communist sympathies. They both committed atrocities.
As harmful as war is, to all involved. I don’t believe you can hold people accountable during that time for bombing campaigns. What was the alternative? They didn’t have guided munitions. In todays world I think you can absolutely hold countries accountable for civilian bombing, the U.S. included due to the high accuracy munitions available today.

Being the aggressor is when you try to liberate your country from an occupying imperialist puppet regime
