This is all you guys have at the end of the day, just desperately declaring dissenters insane like a bunch of Victorians when it's always been you living in an insane, fabricated reality, and I know this because I used to be you.

I imagine you are experiencing something you think is freedom when you barely have a sense of where any of this 'non-fabricated' reality actually sits in the scheme of things. Get help before you turn yourself inside out trying to out-reality yourself.

It's become cliche to point out projection but holy shit

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I want to know what you think you mean by this.

Simple, this is you and you want it to be me

So "I know you are but what am I". You're a child.

-Every fascist with a cartoon view of the world when you point out their rampant projection

You asked, not my fault the answer makes you feel bad. Go enjoy your freedom

Some of us are having hard times as dissenter's for being non-white folk or just simply having different views than the Democrats or Republicans. I welcome the discussions about this lol

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] whalesmoker@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] whalesmoker@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] whalesmoker@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

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

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago

Is that really it? So what's the perogative, point it out every time Korea comes up?

[-] whalesmoker@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

So to wrangle it back to the thread's topic, what does this have to do with S.Korea's markets being in apparent freefall?

[-] whalesmoker@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

Ask the guy who brought it up haha

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 1 points 49 minutes ago

They're very busy trying to pretend to be some sort of activist, I dob't think there's any answers coming from there.

[-] narr1@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 hours ago

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?

[-] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world -1 points 2 hours ago

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.

I like how you just say things you've heard and think you're making a point.
