It’s worth noting that I’ve seen far more people thinking of citizens of North Korea as pitiful subhumans than support for the DPRK in general, and fewer still who support the DPRK extending to the ROK. The “tankie” instances end up just being regular Marxist and Anarchist instances.
It’s crazy to see the degree of vile racism aimed at North Koreans. They’re straight up not acknowledged as human beings with any individual intelligence or agency.
Saw a thread over on Sopuli that made me want to throw up, there are many people here that don’t see Koreans as human beings. They speak of North Koreans the same way European colonialists spoke of African peoples (and still do, but in secret usually), and blame the DPRK for being the target of genocide by the US.
Absolutely. The DPRK is no utopia, but the brutal starvation tactics of US imposed sanctions and the utter obliteration and genocide they are working their way up from deserves immense sympathy and understanding.
Aye, but it’s pretty telling of what the political spectrum is like on Lemmy when we can say that the crazies on that end of the spectrum are more frequent than the MAGA cultists. Not that I mind the lack of the far-right nutjobs, mind you. Their absence is one of the reasons I’m here.
The real crazy genocide denying leftists seem largely relegated to one particular instance anyway, and defederating that seems to make a big difference in your feed.

Given what’s become of Palestine, I’m increasingly sympathetic to DPRK militarism.
