who remembers? 🤔

simply epic

Washington and Beijing have not "locked horns". The U.S. has attempted to gore China for over a century, and they're fighting back. Language of equivocation pisses me off so much.

Based.

Notice how "detained" is used so frequently here. He, uh, kinda went there of his own volition, according to the same fucking article? Detained. Lol. They'll know when he's "detained" if he unfortunately winds up in the hands of the U.S. military again (after he not only deserted, but committed treason, in their eyes). Here's hoping the DPRK accepts him as a political refugee.

Makes a military job look tempting.

The DPRK has only existed as a political entity for 75 years. Kim Il-sung is their founding father. He died in 1994.

Do you expect them to not venerate him to some extent? The WPK ejected the Japanese and Amerikan imperialists who raped and murdered millions of Koreans -- who stripped them of their national and cultural heritage, their language, their names, their fucking humanity. The WPK brought that all back. Kim Il-sung was chairman and president. The last president before the position was abolished, hence the title "Eternal President".

Kim Jong-il was his son and helped manage to maintain Korean sovereignty in the face of the collapse of most of the socialist world, in the face of the west turning its guns towards the now destabilized smaller socialist nations. He died in 2011. He was general secretary of the WPK.

If Abraham Lincoln died 12 years ago, how do you think Amerikans would treat his memory? If George Washington died 30 years ago...

I do not know why I waste my time. Maybe for those reading this actually interested in learning, for those reading this that are not so horribly racist as to utterly dehumanize an entire people. Your complete ignorance of the ways Amerikan civil religion permeates this nation is very telling, as is your abstraction between Amerikan and Other civil religions.

I live on Washington street. It borders Monroe street and Jefferson street. All literal slaveowners. Yet you take umbrage with a nation's reverence for the man who helped lead his people in liberating themselves from people with mindsets just like yours... in living fucking memory! Those poor, brainwashed Koreans. They just need to be Westernized/Japanized/liberalized/vaporized/insert-whatever-racist-bullshit-you-believe-here, right? Not like they're human beings with the agency to make their own fucking choices. Fuck you.

comrades of the sea 🐋

Love to see you feed a population after having your entire country reduced to rubble.

The DPRK is food insecure because of sanctions imposed by your evil ass country. The DPRK is food insecure because they are still rebuilding from the carnage wrought by your sadistic idols.

Who told you everyone is starving, anyway? Or is it just "common knowledge", you illiterate fool?

Do you think these ghouls make "always the same joke" statements?

Because, reading through the comments of each post, it's like being stuck in a perpetual time loop wherein a single College Republican is crying about tankies being literally the same as Nazis to himself. Might be the most depressing thing I've seen in a few days.

Note that they call us c***suckers, too. Very progressive!

Hey, fucker, if you're lurking - I'm here, I'm queer, and I'm an ardent Marxist-Leninist working and praying for the downfall of empire. When the actual fascists turn their guns on me, you will be standing right alongside them.

I will be standing alongside my colonized and marginalized siblings and comrades, and we will not make any excuses for revolutionary self-defense. Fuck you.

Russians are getting... whatever they get,

Buddy, Russia is blowing up previously never-exploded Britbong tanks and basically disassembling NATO artillery before it even launches, often simply by having weapons that work.

The Transatlantic Empire's most effective weapons have proven, like always, to be terrorism and targeted political assassinations. The U.S. is as paper a fucking tiger now as it was when chairman Mao said it.

The unflinching Stalinist

--If only the USSR hadn't collapsed...

--Ukrainians constitute a nation, but the ethnic history being pushed differentiating Ukrainians from their eastern European siblings based on supposed 'westernness' is Nazi propaganda

--Russia bad, transatlantic empire empirically worse

--Ukrainian soldiers should google 'fragging'

Too many folk here in Amerika "know" more about what's happening in Ukraine than what's happening in their own damn neighborhoods.

An addict shoots up. A mugger creates a victim. A cop shoots a black child. A homeless man freezes to death. A drunk beats his wife. Everyone starves and struggles against the tremendous weight of debt. Buildings and streets continue to erode ever further, unmolested by the tyranny of public investment. All within the shadow of billowing Ukrainian and Amerikan flags planted on some "apolitical" petit-bourgeois fucker's perfectly mowed lawn. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

bernie "pls bomb Yugoslavia" sanders moment

"Political" liberals I know who spew this line are only "political" insofar as they voot every 4 years and whine the rest of the time.

Even internal politics do not really matter. Roe v. Wade was reversed under a blue President, and all of these motherfuckers take that to mean is "we must voot even bluer and harder next time!"

How long until there isn't a next time? How long until your comfy little homes are razed to their foundations by the very capitalist crises you decided were worthy of maintaining, of reaffirming?

Incredible, as well, is how the blue guys always make shit way worse than their predecessors did, yet liberals simply avert their eyes from that glaring truth.

What about those border camps, Joe-stans? What about police violence? What about continuously skyrocketing inequality and poverty? WHAT ABOUT GITMO? Drone strikes? Growing deportations!

Many liberals seem to love being lied to, over and over and over, and seem to be utterly incapable of learning their fucking lesson.

Great post, comrade.

addendum: "I would never vote for a rapist like Trump. Tara Reade? You mean the Russian agent?"

There are people still alive who witnessed European Jewish settlers arrive in Palestine.

The only "historical nuance" the Israeli state offers is deathcult, promised land, chosen people bullshit. It is black and white.

Do you see us barging into college classes and start arguing with the prof on biochemistry, climate engineering or pharmacology? To assume you are more knowledgeable than us is not only disrespectful, it reeks of self-righteousness.

I try my best to remain humble, but I feel this. I've been studying this shit for almost a decade and it's incredible when someone comes at me with the dumbest shit imaginable that they spent 5 minutes reading about and acts like it's the capital T Truth and treats me like I'm the uneducated moron. Ok. I know deprogramming is not easy, but shit.

Really funny that they use the 800 million number given that in 1953, 4 years after the PRC's founding, China's population was around 582 million, yet in the past 40 years (notably after Mao's death) the CPC's governance has lifted 800 million people out of poverty.

Where did they get the 800 million number from? Did they get it mixed up?

You are still only thinking within an enshrined binary, within the confines of bourgeois "democracy". You are so caught in the mind-trap that the ruling class has meticulously laid for you and others like you that not only are you unable to think outside of bourgeois democracy entirely, but you don't even mention voting third party! It's vote blue or you're a Republican!

How do y'all not see the prison bars so firmly planted in front of your very fucking eyes? It has not always been like this. It will not always be like this. It is time, now, for an alternative. It is time now for a people's state, a worker's state.

Unless you believe we can flip-flop between blatant fascists and not-so-blatant fascists without climate catastrophe destroying the world. It's socialism or barbarism. Quit letting the barbarians do your thinking for you.

Our expert translators over at the BBC have told us that this sign actually says "obey great Kim leader monarchs or die by a million dogs."

Awful lotta honkkkie crakkkers here... y'all should really work on fixing that.

Yeah, they don't really need any excuse whenever they've already manufactured an imaginary enemy out of us. Regardless of how, idk, normal and sane or whatever we all tend to be (because we're human fucking beings), to them we are

1. warmongering Putin stans
2. LGBTphobic (hilarious given our demographics)
3. basically Nazis, maybe even worse
4. Sinophiles and Islamophobes
5. literal bots
6. terrorists

on and on and on. Reading those comments is simply a sight. There is no conversation to be had.

The thing that bugs me the most is the admin worship. I'll be the first to say as a regular user here, any of you admins start doing silly shit I won't "respect your decision", I'll criticize your asses for it. I know you'll listen, though, because you're not petulant liberals who throw tantrums when presented with the mildest criticisms.

Dotworld really does seem to be becoming just like reddit. I thought the whole appeal was decentralization and community building, but I guess it's really just an ego-fluffing project.
