Then I can only assume you terminate your own thought process frequently, considering both the Washington Times and Guardian debunked the stories on the DPRK you mixed up. If even western media is too tankie for you, how do you navigate life? I can only assume your willingness to believe anything and reject introspection comes from a deep chauvanism towards Koreans.
It’s clear that if you’re not even willing to get your propaganda stories straight when repeating lies already retracted by the sourced that shared them, you are actively choosing not to confront your own propagandizing.
Amazing comeback. I’m well aware that liberal institutions despise the DPRK, and that countries like the US regularly manufacture mass propaganda against it. You’re more than free to check the resources I’ve already linked.
I’m sorry, but I refuse to be so ignorant about a country that I mix up two publicly retracted propaganda stories into one, while telling the person that actually digs into these stories and researches the country that they are bad. It’s naked ignorance on your part mixed with chauvanism. I already said I have broadly the same positions as the Communist Party of Cuba and Black Panther Party on the DPRK, if that doesn’t cause you to reconsider your preconceived notions then I don’t know what will.

Oh no, I mixed up one off the cuff point from 13 years ago. Kim didn’t have his uncle killed with an aircraft gun, he had him killed via a firing squad.
I live in a country with (allegedly) free speech. You’re welcome to post overwhelming firsthand accounts of how great NK is, because clearly that media either doesn’t exist, or doesn’t get to most people. Probably a consequence of NK not having free speech and banning almost all foreign media. Hell, why don’t you go visit them and get those accounts yourself? You’ll probably come back with better mental function than a typical tankie.
I never posted any essays, I posted a scholarly textbook from a professor in China. Calling academics “random nobodies” because they live in China, and textbooks “essays,” is about what I’d expect from someone that doesn’t even bother to fact-check before spreading racist lies about the DPRK. Further, though, what evidence do you want, specifically? For what claim? If you give a specific claim, I can counter with specific evidence. The most I’ve said is that you lied about executions using tabloid media as evidence, and that the DPRK isn’t a hellhole.
Ah, that? That’s not a source, it’s just someone talking about how we define tankies and what the group that gets called tankies supports. I was referring to Roland Boer’s work as the textbook, Nia Frome is a writer for Red Sails, not an academic. Sorry for the confusion. In any case, “Tankies” isn’t evidence of anything, it’s a persuasive argument. Socialism in Power is evidence on the DPRK’s democratic institutions.
Should have just lead with that. Pretty much a conversation ender right there.

Yeah. You can take your “North Korea isn’t that bad” propaganda and take a hike.

What, the one essay defending tankies? No thank you, I have better things to do with my life, like putting my balls in a blender.
Seriously. Defending North Fucking Korea is bad. Saying they have a great government is even worse.

You’re losing
I’m not out here defending the human rights violations of NORTH FUCKING KOREA.
If your defense for tankie talking points is “North Korea ain’t that bad TBH” then you fucking lost, and you fucking lost a long time ago.
If your evidence for “DPRK bad” is literally an invention of your own mind, then maybe you should reconsider your own position.
Feel free to post evidence to the contrary.
One essay by a random nobody does not count as evidence.

You’re telling me that you did not suggest that I read “Tankies” by Nia Frome?
Get fuckign real.
