      I get westerners are like this, what makes me angry is that I come from a global south country and people there are like we are turning into North Korea. I just have to think to myself, you wish dude. Pakistan is just an American run basket case. At least DPRK kids never get droned with permission. They have a spine.

        Holy shit I cannot imagine being in Pakistan and losing it over Korea lol…As you say, they don’t get their kids blown up by drone strikes. How Pakistanis aren’t filled with hatred over the USA’s illegal bombing campaigns against them is beyond me.

        Like there’s a reason Pyongyang doesn’t have to deal with that shit.

          It’s because ya a certain point the colonialism infects you if you aren’t careful. Fanon was a genius at explaining this shit. Pakistan’s army literally put their elected PM in prison with American blessing and the people there are stealing appealing to American liberalism. Oh notice us please, we are being oppressed. Like, come on man, they are the ones that did it.

          Edit: the phenomenon of appealing to western human rights is more prevalent the higher up the economic class you go. As I always say the bottom of the global south has a better understanding of politics than ivy league phds

      Both Koreas (DPRK and Occupied) have played as combined teams at the Olympics and other sports events. That’s just absurd to say they can’t be near one another

    • Meanwhile no one is talking about the real tragedy that Occupied Korean athletes are to be executed because the French referred to them as North Koreans on TV, their entire families are being held prisoner and tortured until they return to make sure they come back. Please save them, Xi!
