Yeah I don’t want to deny the horrific living situation of NK’s citizens, but after some of the outrageous propaganda we’re fed in the west, mostly by SK media groups, I am reluctant to believe anything about that country that is presented in this way.
Yeah, that’s why I took this username.

… Gosh, I’m beginning to think that a US-lead NATO might not be good for global peace and that the US government might be the most reactionary, anti-progressive polity in the modern world. I’m beginning to think that I’ve been fed lies all my life by media manufacturing consent for unjustifiable wars! Operation Desert Storm, Iraq War, WMDs, War on Terror, the Nakba, the second Nakba, the overthrow of the leftist Guatemalan government and subsequent ethnic cleansing of the Mayan people (if you want I can keep going.) It’s almost like it has happened over and over again and Americans allies go along with it every single time because they stand to gain something from! It’s like any military organization made up of these psychopaths will only be used for destabilizing the developing world! It’s like our governments have an interest in keeping the rest of the world destabilized so that they and their supporting billionaires can profit from exploiting the world resources and labor.
(Obligatory ‘Putin is a cunt’ because people on Lemmy lack the capability to think one person can hold both these political opinions at the same time)
I can almost guarantee that NATO will do some tricky “in order to defend NATO countries we must attack Russia first” business.
She did some stripping and she had a blog… am I missing something here? Half the girls I knew in college did that.
Yeah that’s insane. Canada Post isn’t supposed to make money.
Conservative, but you’re allowed to have drugs and hookers.
To be clear she wasn’t just sent spiders. This woman had a targeted harassment and stalking campaign conducted against her for months by six people. They went to her house and sent her threatening messages that implied she might be in danger.
This is homers POV while driving through a corn field after declaring he can see the road just fine after he gets a bucket stuck on his head. They drive somewhere and he has someone (Marge or Lisa) drill eye holes so he can see. Season 9 or ten I think.
X is a private business.
Am I crazy or is none of what you said in anyway an answer/rebuttal to what I said? Maybe I didn’t word my post correctly, maybe you were just being glib. I’m going to bed.
What will this industry look like in 10 years? How about 30? Will other business try to move in when they discover how profitable this industry can be? Will all the capitalists follow the same rules that this guy is following?
There are entire Caribbean islands that no longer have sand beaches because they were trucked away illegally by concrete companies.

There is one specific breed of dog kept for meat and no one has them as pets. They’re basically cattle.
He’s afraid he’ll be martyred. Don’t forget, Navalny returned to Russia willingly right after releasing a documentary on Putins secret mansion. It was allegedly to put Putin in the awkward position of choosing between keeping an opponent with popular support alive, and killing him and potentially motivating the masses. Locking him away somewhere distant and keeping him there until he’s forgotten about is probably the best way to get rid of him. I’m pretty sure most Russians know that the legal system is a farce.
Yeah the developers are themselves just workers that don’t profit no matter how well the game sells. Some might incidentally hold some shares in the company they work for but it’s not big money. They aren’t the board and they aren’t the primary shareholders.
People like being known for having a hand in the Big Game of the Decade. People who worked on Skyrim have that as part of their resume and can point at it and gloat about this crazy thing that is beloved by many.
Conversely an attack on a game they had a hand in developing feels like an attack on their own capabilities — whether or not that has anything to do with it directly.

Yeah. Who will we make fun of if they’re all gone?
I don’t really know, tbh. But I do know a lot of the stuff the corporate media in the west reports on about NK are verifiably flat out lies. Stuff like “every male citizen is forced to get the same haircut as KJU”. That was a story invented whole cloth by a broadsheet rag in SK, then picked up by western media sources and reported to us as fact.
There is a financial element to this: saying outrageous things about NK leads to tidy profits. Even NK defectors have been caught lying about the place. What’s her face was touring Americas right wing talk shows recently, saying things that either just aren’t true or wildly exaggerated. She’s made a good career of it.
So don’t trust immediately. Verify. Every media source has a bias and recognize that whenever you view one.
