Pointing out that western media lies about its enemies is hardly getting a boner for north Korea.

The United states killed 25% of the Korean population then stole half the countries land mass and coerced the world into economically isolating the other half of the country.

How long should we expect a country to recover from a genocide while being unable to trade goods with most of the world?

Support for the CPC isn't dumb at all, they are clearly one of the most competent political organizations on the planet and lifted 800 million people from poverty, governing the world's largest economy by PPP. As for the DPRK, nobody has a "boner" for it, people support its struggle for similar reasons people support Cuba: they are socialist countries that have achieved remarkable results despite intense sanctions thanks to their systems.

Lemmy has a lot of communists, and communists tend to be sympathetic towards existing socialism. This isn't particularly complicated.

"The DPRK is a more normal country than tabloids, in the country that bombed it to dust, suggest" is hardly what I'd call "having a boner" for it.

How does it feel to outsource your brain functions to a bunch of cold war boomers who own media corps?

This instance is hilarious to me lmao

The classic redditer habit of using "hilarious to me" to mean "makes me incredibly angry"
