Here's something funny I saw:

In 2004, Paula DeSutter, the-then United States Assistant Secretary of State for Verification and Compliance stated that “we want to have lessons learned from [Libya's disarmament] because we want Libya to be a model for other countries.”

Yeah, we all learned our lesson. Don't ever give up your nuclear program.

"Cuba is bad" is the tutorial boss and "China is bad" is the difficulty spike that most players give up on

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 47 points 2 weeks ago

"Stalin is bad" is the optional postgame boss

Before you think that Hasan just now changed his opinion on DPRK, he's praised them for years now with some skepticism. He's also said that other countries should get nukes as DPRK has, for development without US intervention. The longstanding meme of his community called "The hasanabi doctrine of nation building" says "get nukes".

He's feigning naiveté to appeal to uninformed people. The time that he is referring to that he didn't like DPRK was when he used to stream on facebook in like 2018.

I don't think he's feigning anything here, he's just talking about how at some point in the past he had a different opinion and currently has a different one, not that it's a new development

it depends on how people interpret the apology form meme. if someone interprets the apology form very literally, then they might think it's a newly formed belief.

He's been quoting the Belden rules for a while now

brace and hasan are peers. they have collaborated multiple times. also both are repeated guests on chapo. neither of them own the idea that manufacturing nukes protects you from the US.

In October 2006, soon after conducting the first DPRK nuclear test, DPRK Foreign Ministry said "The DPRK was compelled to substantially prove its possession of nukes to protect its sovereignty and right to existence from the daily increasing danger of war from the U.S." If anyone came up with the idea that owning nukes protects sovereignty, it might be DPRK.

how can you watch something that has no video or photo evidence?

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 48 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

or has the guy that was executed randomly appear later after their execution on both video and photo alive and well

Kim Jong Un is AM confirmed

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 24 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I know it's kind of a tedious thing to say, but it was the most important plot element of the story that AM is nearly all-powerful from a human perspective but still cannot bring the dead back to life.

Nothing tilts libs like pointing out that America is a more destabilizing and destructive international force than North Korea.

i dont think the dprk has ever had a bad foreign policy take, china could take notes juche-rose

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The funniest reply is the guy going "how much did China pay you to post this". Like motherfucker the fact they haven't been invaded or couped like Venezuela proves exactly why they need nukes in the first place. God these people are fucking stupid.

I think im starting to get why people love the DRPK, if this was the ROK they would make you pay ₩670 million just for the privilege of living in one of those apartments so you can slave away 52 hours a week.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago

It's the single most misunderstood country on the planet. Of course it isn't perfect, but it does very well for itself with what resources it has, and has always had excellent foreign policy. Its closest analogue is Cuba, and Kim Il Sung and Castro were on great terms.

I remember when Bush declared it part of the Axis of Evil along with Iran and Iraq. Like Saddam, North Korean rockets went straight to the top of the news cycle as part of the low-grade Manufacturing Consent radiation. It's similar to the current anti-Sino shit that keeps popping up nowadays

I still stand by my opinion that Hassan is cool and he's someone we should be legitimately supporting

[–] Dirt_Possum@hexbear.net 30 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

There are pipelines that open to disaffected and fed up libs, pipelines that appear radical and posture like they're "speaking truth to power" but that only redirect any real burgeoning radicalism back away from anything effectual, away from communism, leading the people in those pipes right back into liberalism. Chomsky back in the day, vast majority of breadtube, etc. Hasan is likewise one of these pipelines, with one end open to incoming liberals who may not know any better (like many of us were once). But he doesn't put in the typical U-shaped pipe in the works, the "P-trap" pipe that shepherds radicalism back to liberal democracy, he actually shunts his followers to a place of legitimate criticism of the imperial hegemon and support for AES. He's not perfect. He's more lib than most of us here would prefer. But by god he's one of the few big names in The Discourse that really is actually good for leftism, one of the few who isn't producing an army of "anti-tankie" leftists, but a following of baby lefties who stand a chance of becoming comrades capable of learning dialectical materialism rather than scoffing at it. Yes, Hasan is good.

That's something I also just haven't seen. I've seen him play the role plenty of times, but that's also just how you converse with people. No one responds to you insulting them.

Once he has people in though, it's all constant challenges to their moderate positions.

I know that some people give him shit for AOC, but he actually talks to her and she actually listens to him... Like you'd be stupid to burn that bridge since she is one of the last of the old guard. Especially when you know you have a pipeline that nullifies the one she's in.

what does legitimately supporting mean? giving him more money?

That one hits close to home, we still have FEMA tent communities in WNC after Helene.

The reply showing an apartment complex is also totally wrong. That is the exact unit in my town and it's $2100/mo with a 10yr wait for the 3 units that are marked section 8.

Not sure why Russia china or North Korea hasn't given Iran a nuke. Just one. Itd do wonders. Cmon guys what is the US gunna do to you? You have nukes

[–] AmarkuntheGatherer@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 2 weeks ago

If I had to guess, there may be tens, even hundreds of sрooks posted on all known missile silos. They'd be watching every which way, people in the ground they've bought, spy drones and aircraft, even satellite images. Even if they managed to transport one, and no doubt that's a whole other nightmare, Iran today isn't where DPR Korea was 2 decades ago. Occupied Korea and Japan couldn't or wouldn't act with the same abandon as the Zionist entity.

That video calls North Korea an "authoritarian country". Is the SCMP run by Westerners?

[–] theturtlemoves@hexbear.net 38 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, but it's a Hong Kong based newspaper owned by Alibaba Group. It's more social democrat than socialist in tone.

Oh yes. They're more in touch with material reality than Western lib papers, but their readers are mostly Asian libs.

The YouTube Chanel "DPRK Explained" has a ton of interesting info in 10-15min length videos, from ideological bases of the country to public transit and urbanism. Cool stuff!

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

HIGHLY recommend blowback season 3. It covers the entire Korean war and will explain a LOT about why things are the way they are now.

I like Nodutdol's toolkit, which goes over the background of Japanese colomization, the Korean war, and the ROK/DPRK. New movements like the 20x10 initiative are included, though it doesn't explain the 주체사상 (Juche idea).
