    Who tf gets a hard-on for NK? They’re one of the most backwater places on the planet and that’s not hard to see. Then again, why deal with the ethical ramifications of that weird tankies hole you’ve dug yourself and why not instead make it all nice, cozy and fact-free in there?

      And lemmygrad is filled with some of the most backwater people on the planet. Checks out.

          Lemmy as a whole was created by tankies for tankies. When they realised tankies don’t pay, they had to branch out.

          Is it? It was started by two tankies, so the first people on Lemmy were most likely tankies.

          It’s a refugee community because they don’t seem to be able to last long anywhere their ‘ideas’ get any pushback. So they created a place just for them and they think that somehow their vile bs is acceptable now.

          Tankies are just MAGA with a rainbow attached.

            I had to swap to lemmy.world since lemmy.one wouldnt defederate with them.

            They were straight up coordinating harassments at me with their mods.

          Lemmy was started by leftists and that includes some communists. The two primary devs are communists.

      They honestly get under my skin when it comes to NK. So many people suffering under their tyranny and they go full on denial or blame US shit.

      There are a lot of NK defectors who had suffered so much. They will be more than pissed off to see how some people just go this bad… and I feel for them.

        I know a few guys who did time as kids in gulags who would love to explain to these tankies what justice looks like under “socialist states”

      Loyalists, that’s who. People who’ve declared their allegiance to a team and therefore must defend anything and everything their team does, because criticism is betrayal.

      They think that’s all you’re doing, by the way. They think that’s all there is.

      Anyone who has ever done any research on North Korea knows that they are the absolute worst in the world.

      The Nazi’s were comparatively civilized. In NK they imprison and torture your extended family if you ever expressed any critical thought about the regime, or even if you are caught with the wrong books.

      It’s the absolute bottom barrel of what humanity is capable of, at the same level as the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

        The Nazi’s were comparatively civilized.

        I don’t doubt that the NK regime is beyond awful, but this is a hell of a statement, ~11 million people were murdered just because of their faith, sexuality or political leanings.

          If I had to choose to be a Jew in nazi Germany or being targeted by the regime in North-Korea, I would choose the Nazi’s 10 times out of 10.

          And I know exactly what the Nazi’s did, so I don’t say that lightly.

        Any sources to back up what you’re saying?

        Edit: the fact that I’m being downvoted for asking for sources says a lot about the denizens of Lemmy.
