Nice whataboutism you got there.

I'm not American, so I that's not a burn, in case you were trying.

Tell me, were those in power for decades, and then passed on their direct rule to their son without an election?

Did they also create legends about themselves? Really absurd stuff like they don't need to poop?

You don’t have to be American. You are defending defending the US by libeling the DPRK

Oh, so you actually believe that elections are free in Korea?

Please tell me more.

Do you also believe that power does not corrupt, and that Santa is real?

What part of "I'm not American" didn't you understand?

[–] rjs001@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t understand the relevancy of your nationality. You’ve obviously been brainwashed by American conservatives.

[–] mim@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now you have to be a conservative to dislike the North Korean regime? Even several radical leftist groups dislike the it (e.g. anarchists).

Have you ever spoken with anyone that's not a tankie?

[–] rjs001@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anarchists are just liberals who pretend to be left leaning. Only conservatives reject the DPRK and downplay the great food that has been done for the people

downplay the great food that has been done for the people

If anything was ever done for the North Koreans, it certainly wasn't food.
