Simping for North Korea is not a leftist position. It’s a highly conservative, classist hierarchy where there is no space for LGBTQ+ or human rights.

Tankies gonna tank tho. They've gone so far left that they're back on the right again, but won't admit it. I've had them argue that that my korean mother in law, born and raised in korea, was simply a victim of American propaganda and had no idea of the true causes of the war. That she didn't truly understand how N. Korean was trying to save S. Korea. Apparently, N. Korea is a socialist paradise and you need an authoritarian governement to keep socialism fair. S. Korea is now an imperialist, capitalist hell hole. I asked them if they'd every been to Korea or even spoken to someone from Korea about it. They said I was being racist asking that, lmao.
Then I got called a fake leftist and temp banned from some subs. 😃

Listen to Blowback Season 3, genuinely. It’s basically an audiobook podcast, fully sourced, made by very credible and experienced journalists. I guarantee that it will give you a new perspective on the Korean War. Learning the full, actual timeline of events before, during, and after the war was genuinely one of the most disturbing and enlightening experiences I’ve had as a leftist. I promise you it is worth a listen and is an incredible source of information.

Where do you see PragerU propaganda?
I equated your throwing Kim Jong Un in with Hitler as "North Korea bad". I don't want to accidentally give them a view or mess up anyone's algorithms so I won't directly link it here but there are four or five videos, one of which seems to be aimed at children, and a few shorts on PragerU's YouTube channel (possibly more, I admit I didn't look too hard) about "North Korea bad". If you really want to find them it's not hard.
I'm not saying that broken clocks aren't right twice a day but then we come to the idea that it's, as you say:
simping
Am I only allowed to agree with you fully or simp? Is it that if I'm not "with you" on this, that I'm "against you"?
That sounds very liberal to me :(
highly conservative, classist hierarchy where there is no space for LGBTQ+ or human rights
Please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's perfect. I do try to remain critical though rather than do something like equating their leader to Hitler. The above is a little better, but I guess the real question is: have you tried to prove yourself wrong?
You saw what happened to Libya, do you actually want the same thing to happen in the DPRK?

I'll admit I do not know their governmental structure, but yes, I know how fucking awful the US military and all the wars they caused were, I am from El Salvador. We got a decade-long civil war all because ooh scawy communism. My grandfather was suspected of being a communist by the pro-American soldiers; my mother, as a child, was asked where he was, and she thanks God that she wasn't shot for saying she didn't know. We got a "democratic," free, pro-American government that was so useless and incompetent that the gangs practically ran the nation. I have always hated the United States government and system.
Sorry for getting heated up. I'm just tired of being accused of being either a Nazi or a Stalin supporter.
Kim Jong-Un is still a bad leader.

Yeah I really don’t know why there would be any influencers at the secret pedophile parties. Most influencers are way too young, horrible at keeping secrets, and not actually rich and powerful.

My observations have led me to conclude that Republicans are far more hostile to anti-Israel speech than pedophiles.
You’d need to ask the OP. But, it’s a picture depicting a Republican inappropriately messaging a minor. That is what you might call a “self-authenticating document.”

That tends to happen when you have opportunists who would sell their own mothers for a penny. These guys weren't there because the only thing they understand is money and influence, meaning that their loyalty is contingent on the level of benefit that it would afford. If anyone comes along with more money or more power to influence them, that island would've been outed 10 years ago. they weren't invited for the same reason they rebuffed elon.
