    Can someone point me at one of these “tankies”? I only ever see strawman posts about how stupid they are.

        Either that or say NK is a dictatorship. When I first got on lemmy I got dogpiled by the hexies because I dared to say NK is a highly propagandized country (even gasp* moreso than the US). Still waiting for even a single one of those guys to move countries to live under the Kim regime, which apparently is the chillest, friendliest place on earth.

          Nowhere on earth is more propagandized than the US. It’s a literal $607B a year industry and it’s infected most of the planet at this stage.

            Another wild ml account appears. Go live in NK and report back for me on the level of propaganda.

              No, if you don’t see the propaganda level the United States has achieved, you’re blind.

              Remember how every news channel on both sides of the aisle was denying Israel doing a genocide for the past 3 years?

              Ever notice how every single news corp is owned by billionaire capitalists?

          US is absolutely more propagandized than NK lmao, NK dont even need to propagandize their people against US, they just need to tell the truth about the horrific crimes US commited there. What has NK ever done against US to be this demonized? lol.

                  Look man, when you drop so many bombs on a country that people start living in caves, and your own pilots start complaining that there are no targets left to hit, I don’t think you get to position yourself as the good guy.

                  Is North Korea a place with a troublesome political culture and a cult of personality problem? Yeah, but if you wanna know who’s fault that is, go look in a mirror.

                    OK? Did I ever say differently? Again, US = bad does not mean NK = good.

                  why? USA wiped out 12-15% of North korean population btw, they have every single right in the universe to demonize that country.

      It’s not a strawman, that’s just how how far out of left field they are.
