lmao of course half of the 14 year olds he babysits are subtlety missing the point in the common "wow why does she have to lie, just tell the true about how awful North Korea is" way

But nevertheless this is what a functional leftist pipeline looks like

    i watched too much of the clip and he felt obligated to qualify that he 'doesn't want to live' in based Korea and that he think it's AUTHORITARIAN so now i'm going to punish my self for consooming streamers with a fast or something

    is 'authoritarian' just a meaningless meme word now like tankie or am I going nuts?

      End of the day he's just a pipeline, and like most pipelines the stuff that goes thru it is mostly muck....but as long as he continues to pump confused radicals into the Theory Treatment Plant I'm happy

      Besides what does that clueless himbo know about the politics and history of Korea lmao, mf can barely stay on the right side of Mideast politics/history, we don't have to love our assets folks, but we do have to recognize their value :theory-gary:

      Authoritarian theoretically refers to a set of real potential qualities, but when someone says "authoritarian" instead of one of those qualities, they are usually doing vibes-based politics. Same with "freedom". It's a real set of things, but if you don't specify what in that set you're referring to, you aren't trustworthy.

        I know I've suggested (in lib spaces) that we're "Authoritarian" with respect to property rights. That's what we use the violent force of the state on, there's no political parties that promise to radically change the nature of private property, almost all of our politicians have a lot of property, you can discuss abolition of private property but not "seriously". I live in Australia. haven't seen a good response to it yet. idek if anyone reads my ramblings
