South "Korea" is about as real as Taiwan. They exist only to serve as Vassal states for the US.

[-] Jaderick@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I have a bridge to sell you if you think Taiwan isn’t real.

Imagine supporting Chinese imperialism purely because it’s not western. Could never be me lol

If someone like waffles, does that mean they must hate pancakes?

[-] Jaderick@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

This reeks of authoritarian dipshittery, but I’ll still ask about your reunification plans

[-] Fancy_Gecko@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 days ago

authoritarian

what a thought terminating cliché

"This sounds like Stupid Bad Guy talk"

Damn dude wicked insight

[-] Jaderick@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

-Fails to “gotcha”

-Accuses someone else of being 12

I guess I can’t expect much from a River Rock.

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

No, he's right, lol.

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

I don't care about downvotes and I understand where you're coming from...

But I need you to understand you sound fucking nuts.

[-] pucker4676@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 days ago

I mean, it was a couple of Americans that decided where the North/South Korean border would be. South Korea basically is a vassal state.

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I mean I don't disagree with the sentiment here but I'm more referring to the wall-eyed declaration people feel the need to make in every vaguely related thread.

[-] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

This is all you guys have at the end of the day, just desperately declaring dissenters insane like a bunch of Victorians when it's always been you living in an insane, fabricated reality, and I know this because I used to be you.

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I imagine you are experiencing something you think is freedom when you barely have a sense of where any of this 'non-fabricated' reality actually sits in the scheme of things. Get help before you turn yourself inside out trying to out-reality yourself.

[-] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

It's become cliche to point out projection but holy shit

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I want to know what you think you mean by this.

Simple, this is you and you want it to be me

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

So "I know you are but what am I". You're a child.

[-] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

-Every fascist with a cartoon view of the world when you point out their rampant projection

You asked, not my fault the answer makes you feel bad. Go enjoy your freedom

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

As someone who actually read that article I don't think you understand what you're trying to say by posting it. I think your desire to call out the US as a global hegemon bent of extracting value from any state it can bully is not what makes you a child, I agree with that much, it's your infinite shrieking and tantruming that makes you a child.

Reply more.

"Hey idiot reply much" lmao

[-] whalesmoker@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago

Some of us are having hard times as dissenter's for being non-white folk or just simply having different views than the Democrats or Republicans. I welcome the discussions about this lol

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Can you elaborate on this? I genuinely only wanted to address how arbitrary it seemed to be that someone would go out of their way to just start declaring whole countries as invalid because of American interventionism, which, granted, is not good, to put it super lightly. But I want to know where the need to just inject it wherever comes from.

I'm 100% just having internet arguments here but I don't think I cast the first stone here. The top comment was tailor made for people to engage with. Personally I'm stressed and when I'm stressed I go do shit like this.

[-] whalesmoker@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

Personally, I don't know what goes on in North Korea. Nobody does. The media prevents us from seeing North Korea beyond the spectacles that Western media presents. Such as totalitarian tropes, things like that.

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah I agree with that. I'd question any of the info I generally get "from" N.Korea. I would imagine malnutrition is real, although sanctions and blockades are just as responsible as a lack of arable land. I also think Juche would be cool if it wasn't represented by some real weird dudes. Hard to filter the info, I am not an intelligence specialist. Of course this makes it easier to just focus on something else.

[-] whalesmoker@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

Really, a lot of the problems with North Korea's economy isexacerbated by international sanctions, which prevent other countries from exporting goods to the North. Part of the reason why they resort to more sneaky and dishonest ways to fund their countries treasury.

[-] whalesmoker@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

Because the media has manufactured consent and the CIA is known to be an unreliable source of information.

Neo-liberal media and neoconservative media always uses their billionaire funded think tanks to promote American imperialism, values and economics unto the world. If you think this strategically, North Korea has a lot of mineral resources that are exploitable by America.

[-] narr1@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

Holy hells, I love it when the libs cloak their condescending attitude and western brainworms in a holier than thou sense of trying to help or something. Why don't you go offer your "help" to someone who asks for it, or are that kinda person who doesn't care for consent?

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

You're right, that is kind of condescending. I actually hate it when people use the get help line but, no, I don't really care here. It rattled you enough to comment on it for someone else so where's the consent now? You like imposing your own sense of superiority in place of someone else? Mad no one directed their energies at you so you step in where they could have easily responded themselves? Holier than thou indeed.

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I like how you just say things you've heard and think you're making a point.

[-] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago
[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

See other reply. Child behavior.

[-] Jaderick@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Dude called me a 12 year old in another thread. RiverRock is evidentially a dipshit projectionist lol

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I saw that. I was trying to think of a clever way to throw it in his face, but then I saw that he's a pro-Russia imperialist who thinks Ukrainians are all Nazis and realized this is an actual insane person.

[-] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

And we're back to building a caricature and then declaring it mentally defective as a way to avoid engaging with anything actually being said, which seems to be all you personally are capable of. This is why all you guys do is bitterly project your own errors while your ideological clout slips away and the world moves on without you.

When you consistently refuse to engage with the world as it is, the world will eventually stop engaging with you.

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Wow I actually got you to be defensive. Suddenly we're very elqutious when we're called out. Super neat.

And real cool that the walking male lonliness epidemic here is commenting on whether the world will engage with me or not.
