Socioeconomic discrimination strangelove

I want to hear them explain to us exactly what this means in a way that doesn't also apply a hundredfold to amerikkka

[–] [email protected] 53 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What did they mean by that

[–] [email protected] 45 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Evil Kim regime eats all the food and causes everyone else in the country to remain poor and starved.

South Korea is, by all meaningful measures, a puppet state of the US, created post-WW2 by suppression of the Korean people's right to self-determination through extreme mass violence.

Yeah, but South Korea has Iphone, so clearly they are superior!

Friendly reminder that "Human Rights Watch" was originally founded as an explicitly anti-communist organisation

[–] [email protected] 33 points 7 months ago

You can just link to the fucking American Directors Twitter feed (Kenneth Roth is the guy i'm thinking of) and you'll see that this fucking cracker has never seen a country he didn't think could be improved by bombing runs. He also seems to have nearly the exact same worldview as either Samantha Powers or Henry Kissinger, which means he goes straight into the pit.

They plainly state that on their about us page as well.

Mexico has a sepia filter, DPRK has a low contrast monochrome filter. I don't make the rules.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 7 months ago

Those comments really are just racism. They think they are hiding it by mixing it with thin cut of political/government critique. That one comment saying DPRKers are mystified by cellphones is some serious ignorance and chauvinism.

Socioeconomic discrimination

Thank goodness for the community of mindless Western drones. Otherwise I wouldn't have been fed the same State Department propaganda for the thousandth time.

Even if the notes are true, it doesn't dispute a single thing from the post.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

lol truly, just "here's a bunch of unrelated shit crackers are mad about, pay attention to that instead"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

Literally only the first one sounds like a real issue, and even that's far more true under capitalism.

And that last one... I mean yeah? Most governments tend not to like people possessing illegal media / media they don't approve of

[–] [email protected] 43 points 7 months ago

Americans really hate Asians

Readers added even more context:

Literally none of those 3 things are true!

Nothing described in the community note is even related to what the post brags about, either

Why should I trust the normies again? Twitter turned into a right-wing hellhole because of how much people prefer to be told what they want to hear over the truth.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Twitter turned into a right-wing hellhole because

well also because they banned all the commies but that too

Ah, but you forgot the most important lib source of all: "Everybody knows it, which makes it true."

Likewise, possession of media not approved by the government results in prison time
