There’s this KCNA article which has awful homophobic comments
-
This KCNA article which compares Obama to a “black monkey”
- This article** does analysis which states that the monkey comparison was merely referring to being a “trickster” which ignores:
- This KCNA article which is the worst of them all. The racist comparisons are unmistakable in my opinion.
**The aforementioned analysis article has what I find to be pretty unconvincing excuses for the homophobic comments, the quote, “a disgusting old lecher” is not properly addressed.
I’m willing to hear any possible explanations. I don’t know what’s going on.
It’s a genuine tragedy. Much of the world sees all queer people as American cultural exports, or a type of imperialism. It’s a common claim that certain countries simply have no queer people, and if they do, it’s because of western propaganda trickery.
I really don’t know how to fix it or even talk about it. The American state and corporations put on a face of LGBTQ equality as PR. ExxonMobil giving themselves a rainbow logo is in fact evil, but that’s because ExxonMobil is evil.
I’ve talked with a lot of people from victimized nations, like Vietnam and countries in Latin America. The common belief is that queer people are some kind of American imperialist aggression to destabilize a country or make everyone so gay the birthrates drop. I really don’t know how to approach it. The American empire doesn’t fundamentally support LGBTQ rights, it just puts on a pleasant mask while it does imperial plunder, but for those in victimized nations maybe the mask and the actions seem the same?
I hate this. Death to America.
Yeah, I’ve never gotten how I’m supposed to handle that. What, am I supposed to sit there and let them shit talk me? Take one for the team? Fuck that.
