UNDESA and organizations are still allowed in and typically collect information on other things such as mortality rates and causes of death. NK has 10k tourists a year and many more likely undeclared…do you think not a single other organization other than the NK government does at least some research when there is other organizations from global institutes doing similar research as well?

N.K is also in WHO. https://data.who.int/countries/408 Even just here they mention other organizations that have collected info from North Korea…

Why do you think it works like that for China and North Korea? Do you think Xi or Kim look over every report that a organization creates after they summon them to central government? Why?

Do we have actual proof that North Korea actually fudges those numbers then?

That’s really shitty, I’m really sorry to hear that. I despise people using others specific inherent traits (disability, personality, etc) to confirm their beliefs.

Let me make this simple for you: how do you trust an authoritarian government to provide correct suicide rates? Do you think north korea wants people to believe their citizens are unhappy or happy?

You dismiss a “personal opinion” and then try to provoke them to make more on an obvious communist website? Holy shit, what a joke.

“People killing themselves because they wanna live less is a personal opinion”

Fucking actually made me laugh

Another drooling hit from Sh.itjust.works!

“NUH UH I CAN’T TRUST CPC OR NK NUMBERS” why? They’re totalitarian and authoritarian? So is America. They lie about numbers? America doesnt? Every single criticism you land here could be applied to the shithole capitalist country you live in twice or four-fold. So, what is the actual reason you don’t believe them?

Because they’re just North Korean? What? You believe the shit that is said about the country?

I don’t really care one way or another if we win

Makes a lot of sense now, actually.

Am wondering if it’s some proud “anti-vaxxer” bullshit. Lack of response only gets more and more suspicious.

Nope groups of pathetic fucks who call themselves proudly “plague rats” or whatever other fucking garbage shit. Wastes of time that I have to deal with in person every single day. Why bother sometimes when people just shit out of their mouths, right?

I just do it anyways because fuck it and fuck them. Really all there is to it.

“Hey, lib-buddy…think this source is dogshit propaganda…” “THEY’RE MUCH SMARTER THAN YOU!!!”

Been through that quite a bit.

Is there a group of people who use the downvote button as an emotional confirmation tool now a la reddit style?

Am thinking of my recent encounters with still no responses; and many others that have completely hid behind the “disengage rule”.

Not sure why you’re downvoted. They’re making direct counters to U.S naval policy. Drones, submarines, unveiling sixth gen bombers specifically, etc. They vastly outnumber them in manpower and soon ships. We learned from Ukraine that reliability and force wins out over western wunderwaffe.

Honestly, looks and feels like how I do after half a day so I give it a pass. Looks like it’s getting ready to go out for a cigarette at any moment.

“NEVA SURRENDAH OUR POTATA TRUCKS TO DA COMMIES!”

fragging tiktok compilations?

I’d trust their national statistics more than I’d trust our governments, have you seen ours lately?

The way “animal rights” framed as in agriculture, how our food-systems in both logistics and livestock-care are handled by the workers absolutely has importance to in a Marxist view…bird flu is one pertinent example I could think of.

Is this purposeful ignorance of this question, or are you waiting to get to it? Because you are quick to label things as “ultra-leftist” and act begrudging on concessions towards Vegans and acting like having a sober analysis of our current food-systems and deciding that the things we consume and their relation to the workers is a primary concern isn’t reasonable? Or am I misinterpreting your dismissive attitude?

In addition, you danced around the question. “a machine (or animal) does not.” Suppose if a machine did gain undeniable consciousness…is that not relevant to Marxist discussion because it does not yet show solidarity? A new life-form created under an economic system that would immediately be entitled to it’s labor and life in totality? There’s nothing there to analyze and that’s over-extension?

Also, unrelated, what does “Plague Rat Settler” mean, exactly?

That’s like when the boss is looking over your shoulder.

Yup. It also confirms and validates notions about tradition to them; “truly things were better back then with no woke!”.

A lot of burgers are locked entirely into mainstream media; or the revolving NGOs masquerading as news agencies revolving around it. With a good chunk of the population entirely subsumed into the narratives presented on prime-time, I think it’s really, really hard for anyone “counter-cultural” to either not be coopted or casted out entirely when they don’t follow orders.

I mean, look at Greta.
