    As a general rule I just don’t trust what anyone says about North Korea, the whole thing is so propagandized from every angle you might as well be trying to figure out the average yearly income of the people on North Sentinel Island.

      Ah, it’s like arguing with a conservative and then hearing them say, “But who knows what’s REALLY true?”

          Yes, it’s exactly what the topic is like. There isn’t a goddamn topic in existence that isn’t ‘famously propagandized’ to someone.

          It’s not any better than the people exercising arbitrary skepticism about the Soviet Union or the PRC.

                You’ve claimed to be an anarchist before.

                Having trouble keeping your positions of convenience straight, huh?

                While beefing with the idea that you should apply critical thought to claims made by both nations and media. Weird.

                  Feel free to quote me, because I’ve never claimed to be an anarchist.

                  Maybe improve your reading comprehension before making accusations.

                  Critical thought is arbitrary skepticism, I see.
