But supporting north Korea isnt?

Because what, the same people who told you that Iraq had nukes and Hamas beheaded babies told you that these other people in this other country we savaged with bombs are also evil, trust me bro?

The Epstein corpo news wants me to think that Iran killed 200,000 protestors in three days and that there's no electricity in Korea, this weird place that hates us for no reason.

Not trying to get an own, I say the following with full empathy, as someone who remembers being in your position: there is no society on Earth that the average westerner has been fed a greater volume of bullshit about than the DPRK.

Jeju island, where the US govt and fascist SK govt massacred a bunch of people in a bloodlust against communists. Where even the simplest praise for DPRK is met with prison time at best.

Or how DPRK was bombed so bad their people had to hide in caves, where the US even considered using NUKES against them. Where they blew up all their infrastructure, destroyed their farmlands then proceeded to isolate the country with the most inhuman sanctions as part of a collective punishment that is meant to destroy them.

lol. when? where? the last time genocide was tried in korea, it was the US doing it, and doing it very well. since then, they've had famines and floods and that's about it.

edit: if anyone's genociding ethnic koreans, it's the south korean govt. look at their birth rates, if things continue like this, the last 7 south koreans will request reunification with real korea to survive...
