    North Koreans don't have some kinda commie sixth sense lmao, how would they somehow recognize just from watching a concert how exploitative and shitty K-Pop is

        That's fair. I tend to be wary about any kind of aesthetic judgement like that, though. It seems waaaay too common for internet leftists these days to basically just go 'everything I don't like is exploitative and won't exist under communism' which is like goldfish-tier ideology, I see no reason that music videos (and specifically pop-aesthetic music videos, to remain somewhat on-topic) are inherently exploitative and will cease to exist under communism or something. These kinds of aesthetic judgements can lead to asshole behavior towards allies or at least well-meaning people, too. Pertinent example given relatively recent threads would be people making fun of Nathan J Robinson for how he dresses because it strikes them as somehow inherently bourgeoisie.

        I might have digressed entirely from the topic there and started rambling, but fuck it, still gonna post
