  • At a really general level - you do know that you’re posting this to a forum, right? Are you posting here to engage with other people, or are you just posting to fulfill your vanity?

    I don’t mean this in a snide sort of way. I hope that you can consider opportunities in future to be more charitable to people who are spending their time reading what you’ve posted and writing responses. It’s genuinely feels better to engage that way than to assume the worst of people, and to treat them like they are purposefully antagonizing you.


  • We’re living in a time when it seems people are identifying their own Sinophobia or anti-China programming, and of course there is something similar going on with the Zionist state.

    What are productive ways to talk about North Korea if you must? Some ideas I have:

    • ‘I like positive depictions of North Korean people/Korean culture’
    • ‘Regardless of what you feel about any place’s government, it is always good to see an increase in standards of living’
    • any remarks or analysis about sanctions, for example talking about how sanctions don’t actually accomplish the popularly ascribed goals, but instead directly target the most vulnerable people in a society (with the stated goal of “making the people dislike their government” as if that is not the most mask-off thing politicians say)
    • maybe some framing of Korea as a land that has been under occupation for 75 years straight if that resonates

    Thoughts???
