The point is that I was criticizing Kim because he was being authoritarian and hostile towards the west. You said that the South Koreans love him though. But they liked him after he was trying to find peace and concede with the westerners. This shows that he was changing his ways. I’m assuming that you don’t want that though.

I thought I should give you the info and let you realize what’s going on, but honestly that’s on me. I should have realized you’re a smooth-brain as soon as you parroted a headline without knowing what the fuck is going on.

LMAO im dead

This whole thread started with you blindly parroting a headline regarding South Korean pro-American 🥰🥰🥰 sentiment. What I tried to teach you, evidently failing, is that the opinion of the people regarding political entities is inconsequential and easily influenced, especially in an occupied country. You can lead a horse to water…

I recommend that you read a book, it will help you make sense of this hard difficult world 😖. Try Imagined Communities by Anderson? It is proximal to this topic.

The reality is that North Korea, with Kim as its figurehead, has always been “peaceful” and “reasonable” and prepared to give concessions, in fact they’re extremely lenient toward the west and its encroachment. You’ve correctly pointed out that the opinion of the public is easily swayed… after Trump and Moon did their press tour, and pretended to try to resolve the “Korean Problem”. He looked amenable because your authoritarian tankie redfash overlords (oops wrong side ☹) broadcasted propaganda to make it so. Interesting that when Trump wanted Americans to believe he was “getting concessions” that with a wave of the hand your media made it so… when in reality not much changed, Korea was still blockaded, and you believed it wholeheartedly. It’s really remarkable how myopic you are, blindly parroting the party line without a shred of awareness on how ironic your framing of it makes it look. Every accusation is a confession etc. etc.

I’m afraid that even with me feeding this info to you piecemeal you still won’t be able to digest it.

There goes that western brainpan. Vulgar and combative. Take a long walk off a short pier.

Now I can’t say I am an expert in Korean history but it seems that NK wants the US out of SK not because they’re afraid of US attacks but because they want to take over SK. But you know Kim is pretty smart keeping his people uninformed about the world outside his country since it’s probably gonna be bad for him. If people really knew that he was not willing to give up his nuclear bullshit and keeping his people perpetually in the verge of famine while their southern counterparts are economically thriving, he probably would lose a lot of his popularity. He’s not making the same mistake as East Berlin that’s for sure.

Also, I wouldn’t say that Trump got concessions from NK. I was saying that the opinion of the SK people was swayed because they saw hope since the summit was between Moon and Kim would be fruitful. The poll was after the May/2018 inter korean summit not the disastrous september/2018 singapore summit. Honestly, I wasn’t clear enough there I’ll give you that (not being sarcastic).
