uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire

Uncritical support to the ideology of Juche and its implementation

Ah yes, the classic and completely justified DRPK supporter. Lemme ask you this, does the US doing something bad nullify the wrongdoings of another country/regime?

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What wrongdoings? Who has North Korea ever invaded?

South Korea doesn't count, you can’t invade yourself

In the American Civil War the North didn't invade the South either and in both cases the North was clearly in the right

North Korea and South Korea were separate entities following the surrender of Imperial Japan, with the North administered by the Soviets and the South administered by the US. North Korea 100% invaded South Korea, both with troops and supporting insurgency groups.

They were not though, neither the communists nor the Japanese collaborators believed the line was a legitimate or permanent division of the country. The plan was always reunification and no Korean party accepted the terms you're talking about.

Ironically there was an independent government emerging in the wake of the collapse of Japan but the US occupation outlawed it when they came in.

Foreign powers unilaterally divided the country in half, and the actual country itself just has to accept it?

My point was more this. In the American Civil War, the South was a breakaway region. In the Korean War, the North and South were separate countries with separate governments. The government of the North invaded the South. Period.

Before this gets brought up, the governments of both countries were authoritarian turds.

Well you're a dumbass if you can't understand this lol. What the fuck does the American Civil War have to do with this? Nobody forced the slavers to make a separate country. Meanwhile the US forced the south of Korea to set up a government and refuse any discussion with the rest of Korea. You can define invasion however you want but it's nonsense to define how you're trying other "governments tm" being how you define it
