        I think the aggression is warranted considering their original comment was under a post congratulating the DPRK’s womens soccer team. The tone of which was smug and accusatory.

        The international dehumanization of DPR Korea has been one of the most severe, nearly incomparable to any other nation today.

        But I’ll stop, since I’m sure they got the message.

        Edit:

        The leader of North Korea is the son of the previous leader. And the people are very poor. Overall they are behaving more like a kingdom than a democratic country.

        Also sorry but this is the shit liberals IRL around me say with zero shame or excuse and I have to be civil to them or else they’ll ostracize me.

          No, they were asking sincere questions and took new information into consideration. You shouldn’t just be heaping the sins of the western world in general on them if you are hoping to communicate something other than your own superiority.

            They were not asking sincere questions and certainly did not start off with one, they came fully formed with a anti-DPRK liberal position and had to backtrack on it because it wasn’t based on anything material other than their own assertions.

            When they say things like “Don’t they have people dying in famines?” strikes me with the same feeling as “doesn’t hamas hate gay people?” It’s the things you say when you are blindly repeating what you’ve heard and expecting others to pick up the slack for you.

            This site will always be aggressive to uneducated liberals who make shitty remarks on posts like these, this will never change.

          There’s really not enough in their original comment to assign it any sort of tone especially seeing as english is apparently not their first language. After that initial comment they have been engaging in good faith, conceding when they’re wrong, and doing their own research when prompted.

          Liberal or not we could all stand to follow their lead there.
