I like government. We are stronger, smarter, and more capable than ever because of it. That being said; There are basically no good governments right now. Yes, some are worse than others, but they all fuck the "little people" over in favor of the ruling class. We are treated as an expendable resource. East vs West just keeps us fractured and weak even though we share a lot of core values.

At any rate: Here's to a new world order, brought to you by the hubris of an Empire. Hopefully this one's better.

North Korea is a besieged post-apocalyptic society whose justified paranoia of the west has been proven 100% true

The politics of North Korea are the exact same politics the United States would possess in an alternative universe where Hitler succeeded in invading North America, destroyed every city, killed 20% of the population, and then was pushed out after enormous sacrifice and struggle. Now imagine that version of the United States had been besieged by victorious Nazis for 75 years, while the whole world supported an embargo against the US, which had to literally rebuild from scratch

I view North Korean policies the same way I view the wartime domestic policies of WW2 Great Britain: a necessary evil

I ask this from a place of genuine curiosity:

Why, after all this time, is the evil still necessary?

Look at what the US is doing to Iran or what it's done to countless countries over the last 75 years, no North Korean children are being bombed by American jets in the year 2026 and that's thanks to a strong military, nukes and no tolerance for imperialist-friendly treason, again no different than the allies during WW2

If the threat of the American empire disappeared, North Korea would be transformed overnight, similar to the massive booms that swept the Western world after WW2

We may get to see what a post US dominated world looks like soon, which is fucking wild to think about.
