    But just any dictatorship is << than whatever the fuck we got going on

    By what metric? The USA is complicit in the genocide of >500k Palestinians over the past few years, what has North Korea done similar to that in the past 30?

      Public execution for big one. Again homie, I’m not disagreeing with you that the US is fucked and has an outsized prison population(I did read your whole post and links). But North Korea is really fucked up. And it’s not all propaganda. But a closed society like that can easily manipulate numbers like the US is currently trying to do.

      Why do you think trump likes Kim so much? They are the same, and they are not good people.

      Edit: I love that I upset a few of you tankies. Keep the hate coming!

        Ok, how many public executions have taken place in North Korea for the past 30 years? Give me metrics, please. Please, provide any qunagitative quantitative measures for the things you’re talking about. I’m a Spaniard and I could tell you about my democratic government literally dissolving the corpses of tortured and murdered political activists in chemicals so that there would be no evidence.

          This argument started with me mentioning Kim murdering his uncle. So at least one. Which is, again, >>>than the US(who also suck btw). I’m really not trying to be combative with you homie. I don’t want this exchange to be adversarial, because I’ve seen your name around and again, I agree with you on a ton of shit. But dictatorships ain’t the hill to die on.

            So at least one.

            Ok. Jeffrey Epstein, got one from the USA.

            I don’t want the exchange to be adversarial either, but I asked you for metrics, not for “one person was murdered in North Korea”. You are the one making the claim “North Korea is significantly worse than the USA” while the USA is supporting genocide and has already disappeared 75k civilians since the start of the Trump mandate through ICE.

            Now give me the metrics that make North Korea that much worse.

              Ok I’m going to cut this conversation short. You seem to be knee jerk reacting to my comments, and I have no want to continue this interaction.

              I wish you all the best, and hope your day is fruitful.

                I see. Confronted with numerical evidence of the USA and being asked for numerical evidence on North Korea, the cognitive dissonance is so strong that you must leave the conversation. I’ve been polite but serious, btw, haven’t been particularly hostile
