I had to deal with the energy shock in Germany after Putin invaded Ukraine. The solution now is the same: buy ourselves out of the fossil fuels trap, says Robert Habeck, former vice-Chancellor of Germany
It’s in Burkina Faso and the AES. It’s in China and Vietnam and the DPRK and Iran. It’s in Venezuela and Colombia. It’s in the global movements for communism. It’s in the local movements for decolonialism, anti-racism, and anti-capitalism.
It’s a movement you have to build in your home country. It’s a movement I have to build in my home country.
If you don’t understand the history of the DPRK as fundamentally a resistance history against US psychopathy, you should read more about it. The Japanese brutally occupied the peninsula. The US took over for the Japanese after they dropped nukes on them. The Soviets and the Chinese, being the long term historical neighbors of the peninsula were ready to help Korea rebuild resist occupation. But the US decided that this could not happen, and decided to bomb North Korea a until there were no more buildings and drop napalm in large strafing runs that forced Koreans to live in caves.
And then the Koreans rebuilt. It’s been what, 70 years? They went from literally completely scorched earth, poisoned land, to an actual function society while under total economic seige conditions from the West.
No sike. The DPRK is a full on resistance history.
I don’t know enough to refute this so I’ll give you the benefit of doubt for now. But then again, North Korea is also a totalitarian state one is not allowed to leave. Hardly a shining example of freedom or whatever.
You should research it if you don’t know any of this. You don’t know anything about North Korea but you feel confident telling me things about it being totalitarian and that no one is allowed to leave? Why do you feel so confident in these things if you haven’t even done basic research on the country?
I’m not saying you’re wrong, mind you. I’m saying that you should reflect on why you feel so confident, despite literally not putting in the work to learn about the place. That would be like me saying I know what it’s like to be Polish when I haven’t spent any time researching their society.
And the reason I want you to reflect on your undeserved confidence is because I want you to see the system of narrative that you live in without ever realizing it. You are raised to believe things that you have made no effort to confirm or deny. This is a problem for any one.
Do you have any good research sources on this? Because I’m guessing that if I’m looking to change my mind, whatever I found first in the search is the propaganda I’ve based my current opinion on to begin with.
Okay, so… where is this mass movement?
It’s in Burkina Faso and the AES. It’s in China and Vietnam and the DPRK and Iran. It’s in Venezuela and Colombia. It’s in the global movements for communism. It’s in the local movements for decolonialism, anti-racism, and anti-capitalism.

say sike right now

Okay, so I looked up history of North Korea and
So that was a fucking lie (oversimplification at best, and that’s a stretch)

I’ll put it on the backlog for when I find the time, I guess.
