South "Korea" is about as real as Taiwan. They exist only to serve as Vassal states for the US.

    South Korean self-determination? Sounds cool, when do they start?

    1-A BBC article about China flying planes over the roughly half of the DPRK that Occupied Korea has decided is actually their airspace

    This is like if I decided that your driveway was part of my property, and filed a police report every time you moved your car through it. Very Israeli. Coincidentally, Western media does this with Taiwan too: Now next time you read a breathless article about "China is flying aircraft through Taiwan's air defense zone!", you'll know that the zone just so happens to extend over mainland China, which these outlets never mention for some reason.

    2-A Wikipedia article just titled "China-South Korea relations"

    3- an article whose headline is a question

    This is very embarassing, even by liberal standards

    What a flaccid gotcha. Might as well have written "no u". The DPRK isn't dependent on China on such a level that if they were to collapse (which, lmao, sure) they'd go with them. You cannot say the same of the RoK, which is still deeply intertwined with the US military industrial complex as well as Wall Street, and derives a lot of its political legitimacy not from popular support (given how many of their former presidents are jailed) but their proximity to the military power still occupying them with so many military bases.

    I mean, it was a couple of Americans that decided where the North/South Korean border would be. South Korea basically is a vassal state.

    Can you elaborate on this? I genuinely only wanted to address how arbitrary it seemed to be that someone would go out of their way to just start declaring whole countries as invalid because of American interventionism, which, granted, is not good, to put it super lightly. But I want to know where the need to just inject it wherever comes from.

    I'm 100% just having internet arguments here but I don't think I cast the first stone here. The top comment was tailor made for people to engage with. Personally I'm stressed and when I'm stressed I go do shit like this.

    Personally, I don't know what goes on in North Korea. Nobody does. The media prevents us from seeing North Korea beyond the spectacles that Western media presents. Such as totalitarian tropes, things like that.

    Yeah I agree with that. I'd question any of the info I generally get "from" N.Korea. I would imagine malnutrition is real, although sanctions and blockades are just as responsible as a lack of arable land. I also think Juche would be cool if it wasn't represented by some real weird dudes. Hard to filter the info, I am not an intelligence specialist. Of course this makes it easier to just focus on something else.

    Really, a lot of the problems with North Korea's economy isexacerbated by international sanctions, which prevent other countries from exporting goods to the North. Part of the reason why they resort to more sneaky and dishonest ways to fund their countries treasury.

    Because the media has manufactured consent and the CIA is known to be an unreliable source of information.

    There has been visits to North Korea using investigative journalism, ruling out things like forced state haircuts (sounds ridiculous enough). A lot of these news sources seem to come from dishonest and sensationalised titles and media. I think it's best to look at it from the perspective of investigative media, as North Korea is more secretive than the US media pretends it to not be. So, most reports are just rumours rather than solid investigations.

    Neo-liberal media and neoconservative media always uses their billionaire funded think tanks to promote American imperialism, values and economics unto the world. If you think this strategically, North Korea has a lot of mineral resources that are exploitable by America.

    As someone who actually read that article I don't think you understand what you're trying to say by posting it. I think your desire to call out the US as a global hegemon bent of extracting value from any state it can bully is not what makes you a child, I agree with that much, it's your infinite shrieking and tantruming that makes you a child.

    Holy hells, I love it when the libs cloak their condescending attitude and western brainworms in a holier than thou sense of trying to help or something. Why don't you go offer your "help" to someone who asks for it, or are that kinda person who doesn't care for consent?

    You're right, that is kind of condescending. I actually hate it when people use the get help line but, no, I don't really care here. It rattled you enough to comment on it for someone else so where's the consent now? You like imposing your own sense of superiority in place of someone else? Mad no one directed their energies at you so you step in where they could have easily responded themselves? Holier than thou indeed.

    And we're back to building a caricature and then declaring it mentally defective as a way to avoid engaging with anything actually being said, which seems to be all you personally are capable of. This is why all you guys do is bitterly project your own errors while your ideological clout slips away and the world moves on without you.

    When you consistently refuse to engage with the world as it is, the world will eventually stop engaging with you.

    And real cool that the walking male lonliness epidemic here is commenting on whether the world will engage with me or not.
