It likely means they don't want to legitimize the state formed so that US and its puppet dictator could go on to on to level every "North" Korean city, killing 15% of the population because gobunism bad

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

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

Damn dude wicked insight

-Fails to “gotcha”

-Accuses someone else of being 12

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

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

No, he's right, lol.

[-] Jaderick@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks 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?

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

But I need you to understand you sound fucking nuts.

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 3 weeks 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.

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

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?

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.

ROK had three main advantages that allowed it to be more prosperous than DPRK:

  1. It wasn't mostly destroyed by the US during the war.
  2. It has plenty of plains suitable for farming while DPRK has steep mountainous terrain.
  3. It wasn't sanctioned or embargoed.

Other events like the fall of the USSR and a major flood have also set DPRK back.

It will be interesting to watch if DPRK becomes the more prosperous nation long-term due to socialism simply being a better economic system and what this will mean for future reunification. But I am getting ahead of myself.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

My prediction is that social collapse in the south will eventually lead to reunification.

[-] leftOverLife@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

It will be interesting to watch if DPRK becomes the more prosperous nation long-term

Its been interesting to see the recent economic successes of the DPRK and to watch how even the capitalist media in the US is starting to concede to it. Now, whether that means that the US is going to try to get them to "open up" like China did is anyone's guess.

poooooooooooooop

just POP already omg

Is this just fraud as usual or is there something else going on? Is it at all related to antitrust allegations of price fixing and such?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 weeks ago

China's CXMT just broke the global memory chip duopoly held by Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron. Their IPO caused a major global semiconductor stock rout and Korean markets halted trading because it's basically propped up by these companies. And on top of that, there are now increasing worries about the whole AI bubble built on circular investments. If data center build out stops then the demand for chips and memory is going to collapse too.
