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

kim-salute

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?

[–] pingveno@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Any supposed wrongdoing of the DPRK pales in comparison to what the USA did to the Korean people. Nine million Korean corpses lay at the feet of American imperialism, a number that continues to grow due to continued sanctions, spying, military exercises and aggression. The alleged wrongdoings of the DPRK's entire history do not even amount to the misery inflected by a single hour of American empire.

I'm not a coward who feels the need to avoid taking stances. I'm not a coward who finds moral equivalence in imperialism and defense against imperialism. The fact that the DPRK exists at all in such a context of overt hostility should be regarded as a supreme achievement. The DPRK manages to still stand, despite its hardships and this is a testament to the resilience of the Korean people and the power of socialism.

When they're in the process or about to cause a humanitarian disaster in said country, yes.

Saddam's regime was terrible, however sanctions, plus destroying vital infrastructure such as water treatment facilities and power plants during war were infinitely worse. The sanctions on the DPRK that have been going on since 1950 compounded the nightmare of destroying all the infrastructure in the country and the killing of 20% of the population and are still ongoing.

if you think a WC in NK would be worse than in Saudi Arabia you’re up to your eyeballs in amerikkkan propaganda

Death to America

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know why you are talking about Saudi Arabia. Qatar is not Saudi Arabia.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Saying you don't know why people are talking about Saudia Arabia regarding the world cup when the world cup is in Saudi Arabia really demonstrates the people who are interested in this story because of following football and those interested because American propoganda told them to be.

Lol I don't care about fifa trash. I am not complaining about where the WC is, as fifa is corrupt to no end. I didn't know the WC will be in Saudi Arabia because I don't care about anything fifa. Didn't even imply that NC is worse than Saudi Arabia. I knew the WC was in qatar because a couple thousand Immigrants died in the construction of the Stadions. The meme was about Qatar and they talked about Saudi Arabia, so I expressed my confusion but apparently that makes me brainwashed lol
