Ok, if you all love north korea then why not live in it?
Fun fact: If you do, you'll won't be able to comment here, because they don't allow shit on their internet there in NK, China or Ruissia.
If you love North Korea so much why don't you marry it
[marries North Korea]
youve-activated-my-trap-card.jpgHow should I know where somebody is and if you really feel trapped by your location, don't try not to use force to escape, since any kind of violence is justified at that point.
And you're not doing it. Why? Because you don't fucking have to run like many people on the world right now do, because you still do find some kind of rest the way you are trapped.
You got two choices: Either you just carry on and stop commenting such nonsense just to make me angry or you can violently escape and disrupt US capitalism as much as you want which would be based, comrade.
Also on a side note in general for anybody reading, I just think that spraying "western propaganda" on anything you don't like is entitled.
I sure as hell know that I don't know anything, but I know that I don't know enough to say that I do and this is why on toppics like NK and so on I don't trust anybodies oppinion if it is not peer reviewed by multiple not related sources.
Good.
EDIT: Also are you seriously using that old conservative cliche of "If you love it so much why don't you live there"? Can't you just you know, sit back, consider what you were typing, and do a bit of self-reflection?
No, it's a twist on that--they're combining "why don't you move there" with "North Korea intranet literally 1984", but with the punchline being that the North Koreans rather than being lamentably prevented from accessing Hexbear are instead being protected from our lackluster posting
Ah yes of course now it makes sense.
Ok insane internet person.
You really just want to make me mad, nothing else. What kind of fucked up way to live is that.
I just wanted to say that eventhough it sucks here I am still embracing my liberties to comment on any post with any oppinion as long as it does not directly hurt somebody.
How deranged must somebody be to not recognise this right?
I think if they were capable of self-reflection, those conservatives wouldn't be using a thought terminating cliche that sounds like it was made up by a pre-schooler.
VPNs are great because they're enough to get access to whatever you want, but also provide enough of a barrier to stop lazy fuckers from picking up dogshit beliefs from western media.
It's like a brain damage vaccine. Won't stop you from getting it, but dramatically reduces the likelihood and severity, and you also benefit from your collegues getting it.
Yeah the problem I see with this argument is that of course in an idealised world it would make sense to ban parts of the internet just like banning some kinds of oppinions is based irl.
But I think on the internet is a lot of garbage that has to be there so that people see it, because without allowing some garbage there is no discussion, no new values nor freedom.
I think any kind of left leaning ideology should enable non violent discourse as much as possible. Of course that would mean banning really bad things, but it would not mean complete restriction.
Also as a side note: Banning something does not kill the presence of it in society. In most cases it makes the issue worse than it is: You need more than just a ban, you need to convince people that you're right, not force them into beliving.
This is why fact based propaganda is valuable and a great way to stop populism.
It seems appealing some days. To be in a country that isn't the Great Satan and even more plentiful quantities of kimchi sounds like an alright tradeoff.
god I would love to live somewhere that banned the Internet
Ok then show me why.
I'll move.
