? The comparisons are about the shared authoritarian aesthetic. It would be strange to suggest that you can't compare Trumpistan to another authoritarian country if said country was Asian. It's not like Trumpistan isn't more frequently compared to other historical European regimes
Because what's happening now could NEVER happen in the REAL US of A! No, what's currently happening in the US - what's been building for decades - could only happen to a "lesser" nation, so let's call it a made-up country in Asia! The USA? Why, we're the GOOD guys! We always vote SMART!
So what makes you think that DPRK is "authoritarian" who told you that, and how did you vet that information?
Hello, comrade! Do you take issue with any of the conclusions reached in this wikipedia article? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kijong-...
I have trouble believing some of these scoldey far far far left accounts, are real people. I mean, They just sound insane.
Right?! It's somehow worse than what I'd hear from stoned college leftists who'd just read a Book.
I do not trust Wikipedia after they invented a Welsh king that never existed I have no idea what it says about DPRK
KERMIE!!!!!
I emailed Hyun Yong-chol about it but weirdly enough he never got back to me with a response
Not one of these replies contextualizes anything with the genocide the US did on the peninsula, or the fact that fascism is constantly creeping into South Korea. They are all just about barraging people with xenophobic hearsay taken from propagandized media outlets. They trust Yeonmi Park a bit.
This must be some of your trademark "snark for the sarcastically impaired".
Leigh, it's clearly demonstrated in their own English language state news service. The "reporting" is textbook authoritarian propaganda. This is not some grand conspiracy of being lied to by western media.
Still nothing of substance, just "trust me, bro," and more childlike interpretations of anarchism
I presume this was intended to be a coherent response?
You want me to prove a negative when all you offer is vibes
I don't even know what you're trying to prove. Your response was incoherent. What in the world do you think anarchism has to do with it?
The misuse of the term 'authoritarian' is a tell of severely underdeveloped and uninterrogated political understanding. And it generally falls in line with the typical western liberal who calls themself something like "anarchist."
Again, this is not a coherent response to anything in the thread. It's just you rambling about your own personal hobby horse.
Just think of the furious, meandering rants endured by those poor ducks!
Is English always this hard for you?
lol. if this is a joke it's hilarious. if not, also hilarious.
Other than the hereditary leadership, routine military parades, publicly executing high ranking officials for “disloyalty”, and walling people inside the country?
Yes, aside from all of that.
BROTHER, MAY I HAVE SOME OATS?
Lmao, the “istan” you tacked onto Trump literally has no inherent tie to “authoritarian aesthetics” outside the decaying grey matter of delusional racists who can’t admit fascism has been a core component of the US for ages.
My people have been fighting fascism since 1492 believe me the US has been fascist for a long ass time
jesus fucking christ dude, stop doing it. what the fuck?
hey can you tell me the origin of the suffix -istan
This should be good.
