    Saying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is imperialist isn’t “dehumanizing and racist propaganda.”

    Imperialism isn’t just attacking another country, it involves a lot more including enforcement of unequal exchange. But also I gotta say, what is with that response? You are completely making shit up by changing what you said earlier. It wasn’t “Saying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is imperialist” you dumbass. It was calling people Russians and Koreans derogatorily .

    Mostly YouTube and the BBC. I kinda suspect you think any documentary that depicts the DPRK in anything but a positive light is “biased,” though. Is that right? Kind of a No True Documentary stance?

    lmfao BBC? How do you think they reported on the genocide of Palestine? And the UK is also an imperialist fascist state that has been reduced to that of a vassal state for Amerika lol

    So again, you’re still consuming WESTERN propaganda. What a joke. Anyway here’s BBC’s reporting on DPRK overlaid with the funeral of the UK monarch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNBqjKFS1_c

    Sure. I’m laughing at you for your use and joyous celebration of a straw-man, and you’re laughing at either the notion of someone who says DPRK residents have to have certain haircuts and/or a hypothetical person you assume I am.

    The news and information you are getting from are from the same that are making up bullshit as pictured.


  • I’ve seen maybe a dozen documentaries about the DPRK - most of which are not from the US - but go on lmfao.

    Go on, where are these dozen documentaries from then?

    Nice straw-man with the haircut thing though. That was pretty funny. I’m glad we can both laugh at that, even if it’s for completely different reasons.

    Completely different reasons? Elaborate.

    … what? Can you take another crack at this? It’s a mess.

    My bad. What I meant is; It’s incredibly chauvinistic and racist to call anyone an “agent” or “Russian” or “Korean” just because they are defending a country from dehumanizing and racist propaganda that is not remotely true.

    Between this and your first paragraph it seems like you mostly think I’m a racist/chauvinist because someone from my country/global hemisphere is and/or was racist previously? Brilliant logic. You’d get along great with the bigots you pretend to despise.

    What??

    I do, hence my bothering to talk to you (and others) in this thread.

    Your assumptions and attitude is what is causing people to be mad at you.

    Generally speaking, it goes incredibly poorly; they often do mental gymnastics to paint everything I say as problematic, as perfectly exemplified by “I suspect someone defending Russia is from Russia” -> 'Then you are racist."

    You are doing the mental gymnastics, it’s been explained to you before and you just generalize everything told to you without doing any introspection.

    I sincerely doubt there is any text I could read that would convince me that Russia bombing the shit out of Ukrainian kids is totally fine, whether it’s via my browser or ink on paper.

    lmfao

    UKRAINE: DONETSK CITIZENS CRIPPLED BY WAR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fsMqYqHnN0

    I think the logic of “someone defending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has a decent chance of being from Russia” is pretty airtight too.

    Again, chauvinistic racism. You know nothing about anything. Instead of actually reading and analyzing what people say, you instead go full reactionary with racist accusations.

    In both cases, you’re welcome to try to convince me otherwise or point me to a text you think would convince me otherwise, but obviously it’ll be harder considering you’re starting from a pretty disadvantages position of attacking me first and trying to persuade me second. While we’re educating each other, I can point you to some Psychology books that point out why that’s… unwise, to say the least. The short version is people tend to not trust someone whose first priority is to attack them.

    What are you fucking talking about. Anyway on the first point though, I recommend Marxism-Leninism Study Guide: Basic Course https://lemmy.ml/post/43309494





  • ETA mods are mean, good Lord now I have to go through eight steps to find the good stuff that they deleted. Lame

    ETA 2- Mods have translated “be civil” rule into “I do what I want” why bother to post rules just do what you want

    Quit your crying over racist shit being removed



  • More or less, yes. I’ve never visited Taliban-held areas nor al-Qaeda training camps to ask them myself. I just have to go with the word of journalists that they didn’t set up an entire production just to trick me. Obviously that’s imperfect, but do you know anything about worldwide current events? Did you also get that from the news?

    Start by interacting with people outside the western hegemony, WITHOUT the chauvinism and racism! You can also learn more by reading, there are a lot of books about the history that you don’t know anything at all.
