Tomorrow_Farewell [any, they/them]

That doesn’t mean I think it’s good.

It’s a state formed as a result of an anti-colonial movement fighting for liberation against your empire. Your empire killed millions of its people, destroyed what they had, and currently maintains a genocidal blockade against it.
Despite all that, it manages to hang on, and, considering the harrassment and assault from your empire, it also manages to provide its people with much better living standards than what one would expect from many states that you do not complain about (and which are not targets of the same sort of blockades). Also, you just plain haven’t even brought up any wrongdoings that the DPRK has supposedly done.

Overall, I would say that that does make the DPRK fairly good as far as states go.

And obviously false memes like the OP don’t convince me that there is any sincerity in its defenders.

Either you are unfamiliar with the resolution in question and are assuming that the OP lied (without you double-checking), or you know that the OP didn’t lie and are trying to engage in spreading your genocidal empire’s false propaganda.

What is it with people desperately trying to demonise the DPRK as if you you weren’t fed obvious lies since you were born?

The populace of Taiwan need to consent to being governed by the PRC, and currently support for one China in Taiwan is very low, based on what I’ve read.

The state that currently rules Taiwan engaged in white terror and killed dissidents. The population of Taiwan obviously did not consent to that, but you accept their rule just fine. So, you are inconsistent.

Furthermore, that state is a collaborator for the most evil polity in the world - NATO. That means that the considerations of their population’s wants are secondary to stopping the horrors that NATO has been inflicting upon the world.

Stalin’s government tremendously improved the living standards of people in its territory, and compares favourably to almost all (if not all) European leaderships of 20th and 21st centuries (including European settler-colonies, but those are even more obviously awful). I’d say that he wasn’t ‘shitty’.

Preventing Hungary from participating in colonialism, including by invading Iraq and Afghanistan, is not some sort of oppression that you try to imply it to be.

Wait, doesn’t the airpod completely mistranslate and misreprestent the thing that it heard in this format usually?

No, what it does here is noise cancellation.

Anarchist systems do not require hierarchy.

How do you intend on defending against a NATO invasion without a hierarchically-organised military?
Similarly, how do you intend on resisting NATO espionage and sabotage?

Pretty sure manipulating people is bad.

Influencing people to hold beliefs like ‘nazis bad, colonialism bad, transphobia bad’ is good, actually.

they invaded chechnia

Chechnya was a part of Russia. Russia fought separatists. With NATO’s approval. The part of the Russian government that supported the Chechen separatists was shelled by pro-NATO forces’ tanks.
Also, if you support the Chechen separatists and think that Russia invaded Chechnya, then you should also support the pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine.

and georgia

Georgia attacked South Ossetian separatists and peacekeepers. Russia responded. As a result of this conflict, the only territory that Russia got was South Ossetia, and the human price of this conflict is very small compared to the atrocities that NATO commits regularly.

As a response other neighbouring countries were like “fuck that” and joined NATO for their own security

Which ‘neighbouring countries’ did that? And how would any of that justify joining the most evil polity in the world?
The vast majority of Russia’s neighbours didn’t have military-related issues with Russia. Only Georgia - which was even the de jure aggressor, - and Ukraine - which experienced a coup, with the resulting government immediately trying to bring weapons to the border with Russia’s most populated areas.

russia interprets that as aggressive nato expansion

NATO did promise to not expand past Berlin. This promise has been broken time and time again.
Furthermore, NATO is the most evil polity in the world, and the most prolific invader. The rest of the world has every right to defend itself against it, and its allies do not get to appeal to a moral right to any sort of defense.

nato propaganda is “we need to send tons of arms so ukrainians can defend their country”

Also, ‘we need to do a coup in Ukraine’.
Also, ‘we need to invade Iraq because reasons’.
Also, ‘we need to invade Afghanistan because reasons’.
Also, ‘we need to invade Iran because reasons’.
Also, ‘we need to do a Lebensraum in Palestine because reasons’.
And so on, and so forth.
The ‘Russia bad’ sort of propaganda pales in comparison to that, actually, but it is still used to justify NATO’s hegemony over the world.

ukraine - a country with a gdp of 42 billion $ in 2014 took up soo much debt it could never repay it after the war.

And NATO (along with pro-NATO anti-communists in Ukraine and Russia)

it´s gonna privatize all assets

The unpopular privatisation of assets was already underway by 2022, even if we exclude the 1990s that severely damaged the living standards in Ukraine.

my point still stands: russia is spreading misinfo like crazy and OP keeps reposting it.

NATO has been spreading misinformation much more aggressively, to the point of most people in English-speaking places being convinced that NATO and the Ukrainian nazi state are somehow on the right side of history here.

the regular worker just doesn´t want to get bombed or get caught in crossfire. the war must end no matter the outcome or which side has to make which concessions.

Okay, so how can Russia unilaterally stop NATO’s aggression without a military action that you condemn so much?

Also, still not seeing any condemnation of NATO, NATO’s disinformation campaigns, or an actual valid alternative for Russia.

Ok. Prove me wrong. Go ahead and criticise NATO’s disinformation the way you do with Russia. Also, if you are against Russia’s actions in Ukraine, provide a valid alternative response to NATO’s aggression against Russia.

who said i don´t oppose?

You are literally trying to engage in propaganda in favour of the most prolific invader in the world - NATO.
Let’s be honest, you do not condemn NATO, you do not bring up NATO everywhere you can the way you do with Russia, and you do want to be a beneficiary of its colonial atrocities.

if i say “russia is bad” i´m not implying “NATO is good”

99.97% of the time, that’s exactly what you (plural) do. If you are an exception, then I welcome you to prove me wrong.

is everything black and white in your world?

My world is a lot less monochrome than the world of people who go ‘Russia bad! Everything that contradicts NATO’s propaganda is Russian disinfo! Russia should roll over and die for my empire!’

that´s the narrative used to invade a country.

You are fine with invasions. You never condemn things like invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Iran, etc.

lemmy is filled with pure russian disinfo posts

Case in point for the meme.
You automatically assume that whatever contradicts the narrative of the ‘Iraq has WMDs’ people is false. No regard for any of the actual facts.

stop defending war mongering countries. stop defending imperialism.

You are the one defending NATO, though.

The statement is basically ‘we oppose Netanyahu, but we are fine with the Lebensraum genocide in general’.

maybe something on immigration and racism

That goes in the intersection.

Good luck unsticking your face from the mirror.
