Support for the CPC isn’t dumb at all, they are clearly one of the most competent political organizations on the planet and lifted 800 million people from poverty, governing the world’s largest economy by PPP. As for the DPRK, nobody has a “boner” for it, people support its struggle for similar reasons people support Cuba: they are socialist countries that have achieved remarkable results despite intense sanctions thanks to their systems.
Lemmy has a lot of communists, and communists tend to be sympathetic towards existing socialism. This isn’t particularly complicated.
Pointing out that western media lies about its enemies is hardly getting a boner for north Korea.
The United states killed 25% of the Korean population then stole half the countries land mass and coerced the world into economically isolating the other half of the country.
How long should we expect a country to recover from a genocide while being unable to trade goods with most of the world?
The people that live in the DPRK support their system by and large. Famine is rare, it was common in the 90s due to flooding and the collapse of the USSR, but we are 3 decades removed from that period:
I suggest you reconsider what you think you know, because you’re clearly clouded by chauvanism.
The west lies, but North Korea literally is a horrible place rife with famine and suffering.
the state department has admitted to make this shit up; do yourself a favor instead of looking like another maga and educate yourself of what your hegemony has already publicly admitted (decades ago) to doing.
This instance is hilarious to me lmao
I often see pro CCP crap which is dumb enough, but now you have a boner for North Korea? The fuck?
How does it feel to outsource your brain functions to a bunch of cold war boomers who own media corps?

“The DPRK is a more normal country than tabloids, in the country that bombed it to dust, suggest” is hardly what I’d call “having a boner” for it.

“It has problems but it’s no hell on Earth” seems quite disingenuous to the people who actually live there and suffer through it.

“The west lies, but insert easily disproven western lie”
“I know he’s a liar but I believe in his lies!” Just how dumb are you?

Western white guy to the rescue speaking for people he’s never spoken to and views with contempt and less than human
Literally every piece of that is incorrect XD
If you knew what you were saying was bullshit, you should find a better way of trolling
