Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide or atrocity denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

John Allen Chau was a fucking idiot for visiting North Sentinel Island.
The same general criticism applies to this case of the idiot visiting North Korea.
In both cases, the idiot in question received a punishment that is grossly disproportionate to the "crimes" they committed.
In both cases, and this cannot be stressed enough: Both men wilfully and proactively worked through a difficult process to bypass multiple STAY THE FUCK AWAY barriers, in order to risk their lives to limit test.
THC is relatively benign. There is no possible way to get me to debate this point with a vape pen in pocket, in Singapore.
Otto joined a budget tour for 800 euros on his way to study in Hong Kong. He was 21. The company advertises to young people and makes visiting North Korea easy. Here's their website homepage:
It seems to Me that Otto wasn't very proactive at all. He was a 21 year old who fell for a marketing line. He took the poster off the wall and put it on the floor at 02:00 on New Years Day, after a night of partying and drinking.
He chose to travel to North Korea. That is an immutable fact.
Was he from earth? If so, he had full access to knowledge about what North Korea is actually like prior to taking proactive steps to enter the country.
Hahaha got you to debate this point.
Anyway, you said he proactively worked through a difficult process. Young Pioneers made it easy for him.
It sounds like this was very important to you. Enjoy the dopamine hit i guess?
You cannot passively land in North Korea.
Go ahead and give me the most compelling invite to North Korea that you can think of. If you are unable to do so on your own, just cheat and use the irresistible ask of the Young Pioneers.
In return, I promise to give my honest feedback in terms of any changes in desire to visit North Korea.
