    Ah, I think that explains why users like Cowbee can say some of the most ridiculous shit while everyone elses comments are deleted.

    I live in South Korea and served mandatory military service. Every time I come across this kind of shit I lose my mind.

    I understand why they need the bomb. I understand that a lot of shit on the mainstream media is not 100% faithfully true about them.

    They are also crazy, inhumane, deserve way more condemnation and ultimately, consequences. To think that a country that executes people for escaping from them can be “fine”.

    They have never recognized Israel

    That is not a reason to shill for NK, or anything.

    I hoped this was just a knee-jerk reaction to imperialism, which is so unappealing on its own but they keep coming up with new ways to fuck my head up. I really hope that they move to NK and enjoy life sans human rights and freedom to talk shit on the Internet.

    Here’s the weird thing. Best Korea is the best country ever and is not authoritarian (made up word) or oppressive at all, yet they prefer to live in the evil imperialist west? Like I know the whole “if you love that country so much why don’t you blah blah” is old and tired, but if they GENUINELY believe the hype, legitimately why wouldn’t they want to live there?

        I might be conflating them with one of the many other tankies I have tagged, so I can’t say I know for sure. If anyone can fact check me that’d be welcome.

        What I do know is that there are some tankies on ml who live in the US, and I can’t comprehend why they wouldn’t leave for best Korea.

          I find that they aren’t that different from magats. They want Simple Solutions to complex problems. And strong men to implement it. They don’t want to have to deal with endless debates involved in democracy or even in anarchy.

          All the talk of them reading all of these tomes on Theory. May as well be Drudge Report, or daily wire. They have a lot of baseless out there theories as well. Pizza parlors with no basement housing child sex dungeons in the non-existent basements. Hillary Clinton vampire fanfiction Etc . When you don’t engage critical thinking. You will always be confused when things don’t work the way you thought they would.

      rich people tend to be lazy.

      most tankies are ironically rich and feel guilty and ashamed for being rich, but they’re too lazy or inept to assist with their cause. So it’s much easier to do nothing but shout words.

      Because for better or worse. Tanky central is the flagship development server for the Lemmy software. And if as an admin you want your issues or concerns to at least pretend to be heard. You must give the campist undue deference.

      Your server at least also has a piefed interface. Don’t know if world ever will. Though I definitely would encourage it.

          Because the major instances are the ones most likely to need support. That and many of them good or bad try to look neutral.

      No he needs more money. For like, development. Not for being cringe. That’s not what the donations are for.
