The left-wing opposition party wants to impeach him and he jumps on the gun and calls them DPRK sympathizers and says he will eradicate anti-state elements through military action. The worst Korea seems to be doing very good and fascist lately.

Oh come on! The worst Korea? I'm very in support of this sub but what rationalizing would you have to favor North Korea? You're just being a contrarian at this point.

Honestly all I’m concerned about is the level of misogyny, suicide rates and the decline of human rights in South Korea. Say whatever you want about the DPRK but we have to be real that we have no real information of what’s truly happening in there, it’s all hearsay and speculation.

As far as my statement goes, I think South Korea is just the worse Korea, we have enough information about what’s going on inside to make the statement.

Can I state it as a fact? Well no, not until I visit both and most importantly when there’s more direct and unbiased information regarding the DPRK. Not some garbage clickbait rage news article based on hearsay information.

Yet this is reddit and we state our opinions not objective facts.

How can you compare a declining of human rights in South Korea to a complete lack of human rights in North Korea.

There is an unfortunate number of folks here who think being anti imperialist means having the most blatantly tankie views imaginable.

It just it doesn't help the perception that this sub is all bots and Russian propaganda accounts with takes like this. Like you can believe South Vietnamese government was corrupt and bad without lauding the Viet Cong, ala Jane Fonda isk.

Or more current, Ukraine is corrupt but can defend themselves but Russia also has a point to some regards but they over embellished for their own gain. Everything is not either or.

So basically you're only allowed to have takes that are approved by the US/western state departments and can't show any support for any of their sworn enemies or you're a bot. lmao ok.

I wasn't saying that was my take. I was saying I don't like that people think that's what this sub is.

Most of Reddit are Archliberals who think everybody is Russian, Chinese, or a robot. They will think this of anything that contradicts their world view, you're not going to ever see that change for as long as this website maintains the same bubbles it has now.
