Socioeconomic discrimination strangelove

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 71 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I want to hear them explain to us exactly what this means in a way that doesn't also apply a hundredfold to amerikkka

[-] Emanuel@lemmy.eco.br 53 points 10 months ago

What did they mean by that

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 45 points 10 months ago

Evil Kim regime eats all the food and causes everyone else in the country to remain poor and starved.

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

Every accusation a confession???

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 64 points 10 months ago

Friendly reminder that "Human Rights Watch" was originally founded as an explicitly anti-communist organisation

[-] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 33 points 10 months ago

You can just link to the fucking American Directors Twitter feed (Kenneth Roth is the guy i'm thinking of) and you'll see that this fucking cracker has never seen a country he didn't think could be improved by bombing runs. He also seems to have nearly the exact same worldview as either Samantha Powers or Henry Kissinger, which means he goes straight into the pit.

[-] What_Religion_R_They@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

They plainly state that on their about us page as well.

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

Love my absolutely non-biased human rights orgs

[-] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 62 points 10 months ago

Those comments really are just racism. They think they are hiding it by mixing it with thin cut of political/government critique. That one comment saying DPRKers are mystified by cellphones is some serious ignorance and chauvinism.

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 62 points 10 months ago

Mexico has a sepia filter, DPRK has a low contrast monochrome filter. I don't make the rules.

Socioeconomic discrimination

lmao

Thank goodness for the community of mindless Western drones. Otherwise I wouldn't have been fed the same State Department propaganda for the thousandth time.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 43 points 10 months ago

Even if the notes are true, it doesn't dispute a single thing from the post.

[-] oktherebuddy@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago

lol truly, just "here's a bunch of unrelated shit crackers are mad about, pay attention to that instead"

[-] Aquilae@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago

Literally only the first one sounds like a real issue, and even that's far more true under capitalism.

And that last one... I mean yeah? Most governments tend not to like people possessing illegal media / media they don't approve of

[-] GreenWater@hexbear.net 43 points 10 months ago

Americans really hate Asians

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 41 points 10 months ago

Readers added even more context:

Literally none of those 3 things are true!

[-] refolde@hexbear.net 31 points 10 months ago

KKKommunity Note$$ at it again

[-] Vncredleader@hexbear.net 26 points 10 months ago

I love that they balance free housing against......access to movies. fucking westerners and their treats

[-] privatized_sun@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

access to movies

me, a pirate oooaaaaaaauhhh stalin-gun-1stalin-gun-2 privatized_sun

[-] Grimble@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

Nothing described in the community note is even related to what the post brags about, either

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Readers added context

Why should I trust the normies again? Twitter turned into a right-wing hellhole because of how much people prefer to be told what they want to hear over the truth.

[-] What_Religion_R_They@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

Twitter turned into a right-wing hellhole because

well also because they banned all the commies but that too

Ah, but you forgot the most important lib source of all: "Everybody knows it, which makes it true."

[-] Krause@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Likewise, possession of media not approved by the government results in prison time

good

[-] ExotiqueMatter@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 10 months ago
