gustyprinceofthemonsters: Full offense but I'm gonna take the word of people who fled North Koreas oppression over some white American teenager lol

This is the norm for people who wish to believe that movie star defectors, which are paid close to a million dollars, are unbiased or their stories haven’t crumbled due to contradictions or themselves admitting to having lied because of pressure and extra profit.

It is your choice to believe racist propaganda that paints North Koreans as brainwashed, unable to make their own decisions, and governed by an autocratic dynasty and repeat that same propaganda as many times you wish. This is not something new, amerikan and european imperialists have spent the last two hundred years depicting Asian nations as childish, requiring the ‘aid’ of their white settler father.

You question our credibility, we return the question to you: why should we care that you believe in racist imperialist propaganda when that is already commonplace for people who live in imperialist nations? We make an effort to provide means to people who wish to investigate, who want to learn more beyond western propaganda, and finally see what the DPRK is and what it isn’t.

You don’t want to learn, you want to live in ignorance – that’s the essence of the petit bourgeois mindset, of liberals.

It’s also probably why you have art sexualising young girls on your blog (which raises a few alarms) – petit bourgeois mindsets are built on chauvinism, and this easily joins with racism, misogyny, and a set of values focused on self-serving at cost of others’ well being.

Anonymous: yeah, the us wants you to hate kim jong un, it doesn’t want you to sympathise with north koreans

egowave: yeah and obviously theres many reasons to hate kim jong un but us empire wants north korean citizens to be portrayed as like crazed inhuman people who worship everything he does rather than oppressed people living under a shitty government

“There many reasons to hate Kim Jong-un”, if you are living in a core imperialist country this sort of position is no different or more ideologically principled than U.S. state department propaganda. You follow with, “us empire wants north korean citizens to be portrayed as like crazed inhuman people who worship everything he does”, which is true and has been the modus operandi of U.S. imperialism towards countries that rebelled against capitalism and imperialism (and set up their own revolutionary governments, etcetera). What is strange is that after recognising how U.S. imperialism operate, you lapse into repeating the same U.S. sponsored anti-DPRK propaganda, “rather than oppressed people living under a shitty government”.

This is not a matter someone can flake between sides and expect this to be interpreted as a well structured ideological thought – it comes across as opportunism, and in the end indirectly endorses the dominant idea of the DPRK being an ‘evil entity’ rather than a victim of U.S. imperialism and its allies.

If you are on the left, you are expected to support the struggle of third world peoples, you are expected to oppose amerikan thought, and understand how our actions reflect theory, and how theory reflect our actions. This is not to say that certain criticisms can’t be made regarding the DPRK, but you have to ask yourself and analyse if this is the most opportune time, or platform to voice said criticisms, or if it’s more sound to show support to the DPRK, its people, its government and party, and reserve said criticisms for when the DPRK is not on the bullseye of U.S. imperialism.
