Genuinely embarrassed to have even been here to see it.

Yes, Wikipedia is HEAVILY biased in favor of liberal capitalism.

It’s time for your swamp draining!

🇺🇸 Yes, honey…

My reaction to people saying “it’s just common sense” is that the person is acting arrogant, or they have a very dismissive posture for other people. I don’t think I have ever felt it necessary to say it.

I think it’s easy to come up with ideas as to how someone may have never encountered a situation. They’re new to a subject, they have had less professional experience than you, less life experience. Their family comes from somewhere where things work differently. A family member or a coworker has always handled something in their place. If you really felt they should know it, why don’t you involve the person so that you have an opportunity to show off your reasoning, or your knowledge?

At a really general level - you do know that you’re posting this to a forum, right? Are you posting here to engage with other people, or are you just posting to fulfill your vanity?

I don’t mean this in a snide sort of way. I hope that you can consider opportunities in future to be more charitable to people who are spending their time reading what you’ve posted and writing responses. It’s genuinely feels better to engage that way than to assume the worst of people, and to treat them like they are purposefully antagonizing you.

We’re living in a time when it seems people are identifying their own Sinophobia or anti-China programming, and of course there is something similar going on with the Zionist state.

What are productive ways to talk about North Korea if you must? Some ideas I have:

• ‘I like positive depictions of North Korean people/Korean culture’
• ‘Regardless of what you feel about any place’s government, it is always good to see an increase in standards of living’
• any remarks or analysis about sanctions, for example talking about how sanctions don’t actually accomplish the popularly ascribed goals, but instead directly target the most vulnerable people in a society (with the stated goal of “making the people dislike their government” as if that is not the most mask-off thing politicians say)
• maybe some framing of Korea as a land that has been under occupation for 75 years straight if that resonates

Thoughts???

I know this post is a few weeks old but I just learned about Posadism like fifteen minutes ago and then I saw this post and I think that’s great timing on my behalf
