As a Canadian, I'm incredibly disappointed in my government for supporting this genocide and settling of stolen land. We're on the wrong side of history with this.

this genocide and settling of stolen land.

Guess they're concerned they'd have to look inward a little?

[-] zerfuffle@lemmy.ml 24 points 11 months ago

Thing is, Canada has been looking inward. That's what makes it worse.

They can shut the fuck up about "truth and reconciliation" while simultaneously supporting a modern day indigenous genocide on top of continuing on their own indigenous genocide in secret. I knew they were full of shit after they made the Queen's day of death a holiday.

[-] zerfuffle@lemmy.ml 23 points 11 months ago

It's so absolutely insane how Canada is happy to tout reconciliation with First Nations people and simultaneously support the genocide of an indigenous people.

Disappointed, sure, but I don't think you should be surprised.

Canada was founded as a country specifically for the purpose of genocide. Virtually the entire country is on settled and stolen land. It would be hypocritical to be against someone else doing the same.

Generally speaking if Germany votes in favour of this kind of resolution and you against, you done fucked up.

wow it's actually not the exact same map international-community-1international-community-2

this seems like a modicum of progress

The crimes of the empire are so blatant now that even the vassals aren't comfortable supporting them.

Imagine being in such blatant violation of international law and human decency that China, Japan, and both Good and Capitalist Running Dog Korea can agree that you suck.

[-] spookedbyroaches@lemm.ee 18 points 11 months ago

It's pretty hilarious that any person would call the totalitarian, chronic food shortage stricken, ostracized North Korea "the Good Korea"

[-] The_Jewish_Cuban@hexbear.net 29 points 11 months ago

It's pretty hilarious that you're so smug and up your own ass you pretend to not understand that other political ideologies exist that may differ from your own. So full of yourself and your own self aggrandizement that you can't type a sentence without presenting it in such a way as though the other person is so stupid for not seeing things your way. Take your smarmy ass back to reddit. No one likes nor wants you around on their forums

You live in the largest, most expensive propaganda machine that's ever been created by man

You're talking about a country and an ideology that propaganda machine has been willing to burn the world with nuclear hellfire to contain for a hundred years

Learn about the things you're talking about. "The forgotten war"

Yes. North Korea is and has always been the good guys.

chronic food shortage stricken, ostracized

i wonder why a country under economic sanction from the US & its allies for decades might have economic trouble. i wonder why they're rude to the US after the US bombed and murdered their people for 3 years & still occupy the southern half of their country

Sorry, my bad.

"Best Korea" it is.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 24 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It's only hilarious if you're highly propagandised and have never examined any of the absolutely ridiculous propaganda that has led you to feel the way you do about them such as:

Using anti aircraft guns for executions ("according to south korean media" lmao)

They have to push the trains

They all have to get the same haircut

Or that they're aggressive or something? Like what? How many wars has Korea been in since the US killed 1 fifth of its entire population in the biggest post-holocaust genocide the world has ever seen?

The shit you believe is ridiculous, why do you believe this shit? Why have you never actually said "that sounds fucking stupid"? You don't examine anything critically at all. You just go with the flow because you've seen everyone else be hyper negative about it and never really actually stopped and thought about any of these utterly ridiculous things.

In the meantime, the US is responsible for starting 205 out of 248 conflicts between ww2 and 2010. And yet the DPRK is supposedly a bad rogue state? You're out of your mind, you do not apply the same principles to one of these countries vs the other, you are guided by FEELS based on whatever propaganda has successfully taken hold in the population. You aren't really guided by facts or real accessible information we have via the worldbank data and the UN.

Uncritical support to the DPRK in its heroic struggle to rid occupied Korea of the genocidal US Empire. Uncritical support to the Juche ideology and its implementation.

The settlements have always been recognized as illegal, but I guess its good to reaffirm it.

Its a war crime to move a civilian population into a military occupied region. This crime has been ongoing for decades.

[-] Quaxamilliom@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

lmao even slava ukrani voted for it.

Apartheid regimes stick together. Canada did to First Nations what Israel aims to do to Palestinians.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Wait the UK voted in favour? Literally just yesterday they were whining about Pro Palestinian marches in London. Then a bunch of right wing fuck nuggets turned up to fight to the pro Palestinian marches, except they turned up in the wrong place and ended up fighting the police instead.

I guess they realise their position is untenable on that point. The general public hate them and they know it.

[-] library_napper@monyet.cc 21 points 11 months ago

They are not condemning Israel for the current assault on Gaza. They are condemning Israel for the settlements (which is a blatant war crime that has long been criticized by every country except Israel and the US iirc.

It's becoming impossible to spin this as anything other than a genocide that the west is facilitating at this point.
