True, but I'm wondering whether this bit is based on anything at all. It's remarkable how widespread it is.

Why does everyone think North Koreans call Kim Jong Un "dear leader" or whatever? Is it a misleading translation of Korean honorifics or official titles or something? I know the main reason is bigotry, but this is so pervasive that I wanna know where it came from.
for that which remains almost unchanged in the course of tens of thousands of years
If only Stalin knew about global warming 😔
Iirc there was drama because Greta thunberg took a picture supporting Palestine with one of those autistic octopus plushies. Zionists thought the plush was referencing those propaganda posters with the big octopus covering the world with its tentacles.
Isn't Israel's goal to be the only safe place for Jews? In the entire world, that is. I think stoking bigotry while giving cover to bigots is the point because it makes everywhere else a more hostile place for Jews, encouraging them to migrate.
Really should've worded the title better then
There's something about that subtitle that my brain can't parse. I've read it like ten times and I swear it's just gibberish.
I can't tell if this is for real. Even that document reads like an elaborate, academic shitpost.
Yeah, prisoners get paid pennies to do forced labor which they then have to spend buying their own stuff. And yet Americans are always so concerned about the supposed gulags and sweatshops of other countries.
$15 for one potato?? That's just a creative way to do wage theft
It's mostly a geography thing. That region of America is very barren, even now. It doesn't offer many resources to the settlers that can't be found on all the other territory they stole.
The particular phrasing that gets thrown around is extremely cultish in English (dear leader, glorious leader, supreme leader, etc.) which is why westerners keep repeating it. It doesn't come off as a term of endearment, more like subservience. I dunno what Koreans say in Korean and whether it carries the same connotations though (probably not).
