    Edited: lmao tankies stay mad, call me racist all you want, your strawman arguments hold up just as well as the pig’s house made of hay. If your only indication that I “think glorious leader feeds teenagers to dogs” is that I’ve criticized a famously oppressive regime, some of whose defectors I’ve personally conversed with, maybe your own argument isn’t as strong as you think.

      Another quote from hexbear u might find useful

      "But that’s the strawman that people conjure up about Hexbear. We must all worship at the altar of Russia, China, Cuba and NK and they are literally infallible and can’t possibly make a single bad move.

      Thinking that we might have nuanced opinions on these countries, and critically analyse information to realise they’re not the fucking otherworldly demons that western propaganda paints them as, takes brainpower they don’t seem to spare."

      Also, just my two cents here, but the “some of whose defectors i’ve personally conversed with” bit, doesn’t rly mean much. Talking to people who are literally a minority of a minority of a minority, who often get called out by other defectors for making stuff up, such as Yeonmi Park, doesn’t make you privy to some hidden knowledge. It just means your as gullible as every other person who buys their books and pays for their podcasts and merch.

      Meanwhile, we see actually significant numbers of people in Amerikkka (ur spelling was incorrect) pointing out how bad life often is here, and the response from people like you is to go, “Well it could be worse, look at the DPRK!”
      It just comes off as dishonest and lazy, and whenever somebody points it out, the response is hand wringing and excuses and baseless accusations that just look, to anyone actually paying attention, like projection.
