Telling me I am “insane” for saying I would rather live somewhere that has housing and health care mandated by the state. Go fuck yourself. You are falling for racist propaganda against a state designated enemy and need to fucking educate yourself. Here in “enlightened America” I have the privalege of giving most of my income to a landlord and don’t even get a fucking kitchen. Fuck you and every other racist capitalist apologist like you. Literally I would not shed a tear over your death if you did not first repent and admit you have been lied to and are perpetuating racist imperialist propaganda because you can’t be fucking bothered to the bare minimum of investigation on the matters on which you speak.

I think if you can’t admit the obvious problems with the DPRK then there is no conversation to be had here. China, I understand. North Korea? I do not. I certainly do not think that calling me racist out of the blue is helping your case, either.

if you can’t admit the obvious problems with the DPRK The problems you’ve only ever absorbed through the lens of extremely dubious western media reporting whose sources for reporting come from either the CIA or NIS(formerly KCIA but renamed to make it less obvious the south is an occupied state) ?

EVERYWHERE has its problems. And yes, that is the DPRK too. I want to establish that it’s even worth talking by making sure that y’all could budge on anything. otherwise this is a waste of time. I’m deeply open to new perspectives, and I love to hear them - they widen my world. But I have some experiences already that generally conflict with the messaging here. I’ve dated a Korean and been to Korea which has influenced me quite a lot.

It’s cool to use this to discount my personal direct experience but I don’t think it’s a strong counter. Dating somebody typically means you get to know them and their cultural background really really well. It’s extremely relevant here whether you like that or want to discount it

Your personal direct experience knowing someone that does not live in the place you are trashing. Just stop dude, accept that you and her too are subject to an ocean of propaganda demonizing the DPRK for ideological reasons. Also it’s just a really weird way to go about it considering the other problematic aspects of westerners fetishizing asian women that DEFINITELY does not clear of the racism allegation.

I’m not ok with being called racist. I’m sorry that you think I should just sit and take that but that’s ridiculous. You have no right. The burden of proof lies on you for making an extraordinary claim without evidence.
