"Our enemies leaders act like attention seeking children, now here's footage of Elon Musk bringing a sink to work"
Lol, North Korea has thermonuclear weapons and ICBMs that can deliver them to New York, and every bit of progress they've made has been a complete shock to Westerners becuase our media portrays the country like this. Like there have been three real opertunities in the last 30 years where the US could have negotiated a disarmament deal with North Korea and they were all squandered becuase the US negotiators fundamentally think like this and assume they are basically children.
Like I've followed US-North Korean diplomacy for most of my life and I have gone from genuinely wishing for the North to disarm to genuinely believing they have a right to nuclear weapons. In fact it would be morally just for them to nuke the US just for the shear volume of asinine articles we write about them.
I honestly can't believe that people eat this up.
Why do people not stop and think and realise how utterly insane this is? Why is it just accepted? Why do people totally uncritically believe that some places in the world are genuinely still run by Joffrey like figures who could behave like Joffrey without also ending up dead just like him?
If anyone behaved the way libs pretend their enemies behave they'd choke to death on their breakfast in no time at all.
I don't think they behave like Joffrey to their own. The way Kim is portrayed is as if the only reason nobody kills him is because your family and 5 generations will be kidnapped and turned into next week's meal at the dog burger factories where everyone's pets are routinely appropriated for emergency rations.
I honestly can’t believe that people eat this up.
We've been raised practically from infancy to Korea-Watch and gawk at whatever Weird Scary Foreigners are currently doing. I remember hearing about the whole "Kim Jung Il kidnapped a South Korean movie producer to create better films and how he and his wife made a daring escape" story in fucking middle school. No real context to it. Just the kind of stuff teachers would introduce into the classroom setting because it was in the news or part of a big book release or whatever.
I knew more about the 90s-era famine in Korea than I knew about any kind of US foreign policy, by the time I entered high school. I knew far more about the East German police state than any big American police department by the time I entered college. As a young kid with a Jewish family, I was repeatedly informed of the Second Secret Holocaust that was happening in Russia until the night Stalin died. The Cuban Missile Crisis was a major bullet point in every history class, while the US interventions in Chile and Guatemala and Haiti went virtually without mention. Literally all I have to say is the word "Venezuela" and I can get people to shake their heads scornfully, because we all know what it means.
This shit is catnip because it feeds directly into my priors. I can't look away. And I'm a fucking Leftist. Imagine how tantalizing this shit is for the Chuds and the Neolibs.
