That’s pretty cool

Chinese companies overtook Tesla in less than a decade, and now they’re coming for his rockets too.

lifetime bitch

why is there a feddit guy writing fanfiction in here

god the torygraph is just sensationalist garbage

We are saddened to announce that he was fined deaded with two bullet wounds 😔

ADL says they’re losing the opinion war to TikTok and suddenly the US wants to ban it, but everyone is talking about data privacy (Oracle is controlling that). LOL

nOOooOOOoooooo you can’t blame capitalism! We have to make up a word that means “capitalism” but isn’t capitalism and fix that (through reform! because we shouldn’t try to abolish capitalism).

i wanted to find the higher res version, but instead i found a prophet and the people who rejected his message

Xinjiang cotton is needed for ammunition, and it’s clear the sanctions are purely for political-economical gain against China (since they don’t believe in the forced labour stuff), so it looks like they’re just cutting their nose off to spite their faces.

That post is locked because it’s on r/pics. r/TheDeprogram is an ML sub, the screenshot I posted was someone calling out r/pics.

A screenshot someone posted to r/TheDeprogram

that’s so disgustingly evil

I know this is obvious but it’s so disheartening seeing the right monopolizing aspects of communist rhetoric just due to the amount of capital giving it a massive platform.

But you know Kim is pretty smart keeping his people uninformed about the world outside his country since it’s probably gonna be bad for him. If people really knew that he was not willing to give up his nuclear bullshit and keeping his people perpetually in the verge of famine while their southern counterparts are economically thriving, he probably would lose a lot of his popularity. He’s not making the same mistake as East Berlin that’s for sure.

lmfao you’re actually brainwashed. Read the book I told you to read. Read up on the NIS and the NSL/NSA in South Korea. I would recommend you watch the indie documentary “Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul” but I can already imagine your reaction…

Is this what you say every night to feel better about how your tankie ideology is lamented by any reasonable person in a democratic

Also, your smug redditbrained crass way of interacting can only get you so far in any conversation before someone just tells you to educate yourself. Throwing out a “tankie!! tankie!!” and trying to put words in someones mouth in anticipation before you can even absorb a position you, self-admittedly, know nothing about is not how you learn in a conversation, and if you’re not learning or coming to any common ground then you’re just trolling. So stop, go read.

This shows that he was changing his ways

LMAO im dead

This whole thread started with you blindly parroting a headline regarding South Korean pro-American 🥰🥰🥰 sentiment. What I tried to teach you, evidently failing, is that the opinion of the people regarding political entities is inconsequential and easily influenced, especially in an occupied country. You can lead a horse to water…

I recommend that you read a book, it will help you make sense of this hard difficult world 😖. Try Imagined Communities by Anderson? It is proximal to this topic.

The reality is that North Korea, with Kim as its figurehead, has always been “peaceful” and “reasonable” and prepared to give concessions, in fact they’re extremely lenient toward the west and its encroachment. You’ve correctly pointed out that the opinion of the public is easily swayed… after Trump and Moon did their press tour, and pretended to try to resolve the “Korean Problem”. He looked amenable because your authoritarian tankie redfash overlords (oops wrong side ☹) broadcasted propaganda to make it so. Interesting that when Trump wanted Americans to believe he was “getting concessions” that with a wave of the hand your media made it so… when in reality not much changed, Korea was still blockaded, and you believed it wholeheartedly. It’s really remarkable how myopic you are, blindly parroting the party line without a shred of awareness on how ironic your framing of it makes it look. Every accusation is a confession etc. etc.

I’m afraid that even with me feeding this info to you piecemeal you still won’t be able to digest it.

I thought I should give you the info and let you realize what’s going on, but honestly that’s on me. I should have realized you’re a smooth-brain as soon as you parroted a headline without knowing what the fuck is going on.

There goes that western brainpan. Vulgar and combative. Take a long walk off a short pier.

You’re really desperate to make a point where there is none. ISn’T tHaT cRaZy?

Did you know that as of 2018 Kim Jong Un has an 80% approval rating?

… In South Korea.

I work in the heavy industry. “Industry 4.0” is a buzzword. Does that mean that the actual physical thing that the word supposedly describes isn’t real?

Authoritarianism is the biggest buzzword of the generation, not because it isn’t real but because it is real and it’s all around you and yet you can’t realize it. If you live in the west, or in the imperial core, you live in the world’s largest panopticon, but you don’t perceive it. You don’t perceive it because you are not politically conscious.

Part of the reason that minorities in the west, especially people living in poverty, are so keen to latch onto a leftist understanding of the world (matrix of domination for slightly less radical, onto Marxism in the most) is because they are acutely aware of the authoritarianism that weaves the fabric of your society. I want to state explicitly that one of the primary reasons that you are not aware of it is that you’re most likely part of the ingroup, or you live within the green zone which your nation’s bourgeois has prescribed to you, meanwhile most minorities are face to face with it, suffering with an ailment that is invisible to you.

But here you are calling a country you’ve never been to, and will never ever travel to, along with every country ran by an asian or brownskinned person “authoritarian”. You don’t do it because of your political knowledge, you just regurgitate a buzzword you’ve heard on TV or on social media. You’re like my grandma asking me about “that ChatGPT thing”.

the DPRK is not in or allowed to join the UN

The DPRK is in the UN. Unless you mean the UNSC, but even if it were in the UNSC they wouldn’t be able to challenge the blockade resolution.
