Well, you come from an instance where the rules are literally pro-authoritarian, so yeah people are gonna assume you're a tankie as well.

What are your thoughts on North Korea?

    it's a heavily sanctioned garrison state that emerged from a brutal colonial occupation and a war that killed a third of the population.

    i dont particularly care for any states, but i have special contempt for the US. that makes it hard to share in the fearmongering about the US's designated enemies on the other side of the planet from where i live.

    Well, you didn't describe them as brave freedom fighters trying to maintain true democracy in spite of western fascism, so that's a good sign.

    In retrospect, I probably should have asked you about authoritarianism.

    yes i oppose authoritarianism, but also all states are authoritarian. liberal authoritarianism is a far greater threat to my existence right now than any threat from the state enemies of the US
