Downvoted for speaking the truth as usual, most westerners react poorly to being reminded that they're not immune to propaganda

Capitalism's 'bread and circus' might be the most addictive drug of all, they close their minds off to anything that goes against the narratives because the western audience would rather not think about it and enjoy the fruits of the exploitation. Blissful ignorance and all that

Except they've been steadily scaling back both the bread and the circuses for decades now and westerners are generally as willfully ignorant as ever

I liked that I didn't even have to look at the instance to know it was .ml

"You're from instance I don't like" isn't a particularly strong argument

You're being awful defensive towards someone who wasn't making any arguments

You're misusing words because you're barely literate

It's definitely a very poor country

Look up the arduous march, and how the US terrorized them during this period.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

I don't think anyone is arguing the US wasn't responsible for the current state of affairs, but ok

And who gave you the information that made you think the dprk isn't that bad?

Long and easily verifiable history of western media stories about NK being proven completely wrong+obvious foreign policy motive for lying=dismiss stories until they're proven true

Yeah after a good bit of my own investigation, they just seem on par with any other poor country. Not something I'm going to worship, but not something I'm going to spend time complaining about either.
