    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
