Yeah I don’t want to deny the horrific living situation of NK’s citizens, but after some of the outrageous propaganda we’re fed in the west, mostly by SK media groups, I am reluctant to believe anything about that country that is presented in this way.
This happens in the military far too often.
You’re so deep in. Wow. You can literally turn on the TV and see the bodies and burned out apartments stacking up on corporate media.
The tide is turning, Zionist. The world is starting to hate Israel.
It’s because the money that finds its way into the party only does so at the behest of the billionaires and millionaires. If they start leaning left, with more candidates that push for labor reforms like AOC, that money gets cut off. Political parties under capitalism can only operate one way.
The democrats are right leaning centre. Good god, man, you don’t even know what a leftie is.
Kind of hoping Russia gets what they want and the US Balkanizes. It wouldn’t make the world a safer place but it would make me feel a little better temporarily. Then we can all finally stop talking about it and move on to the next topic.
No one made mention of anything being ‘invented’ anywhere until you, just now. I think I’d like to quote from one of history’s true greatest food scholars when I say, “What is even going on in this thread?”
I’m outta here.
I think after a cuisine or manner of cooking has been used in a region for almost a thousand years we are free to say it is authentic to that region, even though it was introduced. That you would deny Indians that, while accepting that Thai cuisine only started using chilli peppers in the last 300 years, opens a broader discussion about your personal understanding of culture and ethnicity.
Further, a Big Mac is a product made by a single corporation, lmao. I’m not going to justify that with further argument. But to use your Naitive American angle; a big part of NA cuisine is a bread called ‘bannock’. It can be savoury or sweet, and every tribe cooks it a little different from every other tribe. It is an important part of Indegenous cooking… and it’s an introduced food. The word bannock isn’t even from any native word. It came about from Scottish settlers/workers surviving on meagre company rations of flour and oil in isolated regions where they had no idea how to get food from the land. First Nations were introduced to it then found themselves in a similar situation as they were pushed off their land and given flour rations by the government so they wouldn’t all die. This all happened so recently my grandparents knew people affected by this.
It’s integral to their culture, even, and anyone who would deny bannock isn’t naitive would rightly be called an idiot by any indigenous person I know. Even though it’s an introduced food. That’s how culture, and food, work.
Corporation must grow, must consume. In capitalism, if you’re not growing you’re dying.
“Tankie” is a term that’s applied to literally any communist. I’ve heard it used against Trotskyists and fucking social democrats.
So, what’s actually the problem with them? Are they Maoists? CPC apologists?
I’m in the navy. “Afloat” means “goes to sea”, generally. A museum ship might literally be floating in water, but it can’t go to sea.
Kennedy is a lifelong democrat.
EDIT: Folks I’m just providing context. “So? So? So? So? So?”
Hmm, I wonder why the world is feeling worse and worse about an American-controlled world where the powers that be in America have a history of reaching across oceans to assassinate democratically elected politicians, install fascist governments friendly to American business interests, make life worse off for people in developing nations, and allow foreign governments to reign untold destruction onto innocent civilians with American-made weapons without recourse. What a fucking mystery.
I really really don’t think Apple needs to do much to stay relevant.
Lmao, this guys post history. I’d accuse him of being a shill but I think he’s sucking corporate dick for free.
Ok. Life expectancy in america is lower for poor people. We can agree on that. Can you please compare it to the life expectancy in communist countries, like North Korea, USSR or China during Mao regime?
Lots of gems in there like this one, check through for a laugh. I don’t know why, but every right wing dirtbag that talks about “Marxist ideology indoctrinating children” is also an Elon and trump simp. Every single one. Evidence that the right loves strongmen, dictators and big leather daddies to tell them what to do and run society for them.
This guy looks like the “if humans evolved to survive high impact car crashes” figure they made a while back.
God I hope so, but things are looking dire. The way I see it, if trump wins in 2024, they’ll do everything in their power to never let the democrats win again. This includes gerrymandering and more illegal things like straight up reducing the Democrats abilities to organize and run for office, reducing them to a pet the Repubs keep around so they can point to it and pretend they still have democracy.
They know that everyone under 30 votes Dem. They know their politics are unpopular. This is an existential threat to them and they know it.
I think the funniest things is that she is STILL a loyal Republican. She knows the type of people they are, and she still refuses to leave the party or denounce them.
The vast majority of republican politicians are trump supporters. They have the party. They control it. All the current nominees are aping the trump brand in the hopes that enough clueless idiots will vote for them. The time of McCain and Bush are long gone — these proto-fascists have taken the party and they won’t let go until
Nothing will ever change.
You know it, I know it, we all know it.
There is only one thing to be done.
I don’t really know, tbh. But I do know a lot of the stuff the corporate media in the west reports on about NK are verifiably flat out lies. Stuff like “every male citizen is forced to get the same haircut as KJU”. That was a story invented whole cloth by a broadsheet rag in SK, then picked up by western media sources and reported to us as fact.
There is a financial element to this: saying outrageous things about NK leads to tidy profits. Even NK defectors have been caught lying about the place. What’s her face was touring Americas right wing talk shows recently, saying things that either just aren’t true or wildly exaggerated. She’s made a good career of it.
So don’t trust immediately. Verify. Every media source has a bias and recognize that whenever you view one.
