I lied, put your clothes back on. I'm giving you a 4 hour long presentation on the North Korean government.

North Korea’s Defence Ministry: Washington is a “persistent threat”, not North Korea

The North Korean government has issued a statement on the need for decisive military action after a new US strategy to counter weapons of mass destruction (WMD) labelled Pyongyang a “persistent threat”.

Seoul’s Defence Ministry, for its part, warned that North Korea would face “the end of its regime” in any attempt to use nuclear weapons. Pyongyang recently made changes to enshrine its nuclear policy in the country’s constitution.

North Korea’s Defence Ministry spokesman on Wednesday condemned the description of its state as a “persistent threat” in the US Defence Department’s “2023 Strategy for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction”.

I think people need to realize that it was sheer luck that they have been born in developed countries with decent living conditions, away from the threat of war or civil conflicts. It is by pure coincidence at times that you end up being a citizen of a developed country, rather than one with an impoverished population experiencing man-made (because it is man-made in this day and age) famine, diseases that have been long eradicated or war (be it a civil conflict or due to selfish interests of developed nations who profit from these, at the cost of civilian lives). You could have been born into these conditions.

The point is: NO ONE should ever be made to witness the horrors of war, famine, poverty, disease or any other trauma inducing situation in which they have no free will or say about its outcome.

DPRK News Room has reuploaded their amazing documentary, "Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul", after the original upload had its audio broken by a Youtube error. Here's a link to the new upload, a great excuse to watch the video again if you have already seen it, and a great chance for anyone who hasn't seen it yet to watch and learn the truth about so-called "North Korean defector" narratives spread by the US and South Korea.

A term I just learned and which I think should be talked about more in the context of American politics is Necrocracy, rule by the dead. The only officially Necrocratic country is North Korea, with its first president Kim Il Sung still officially being the president even though he died in 1994.

But I think the way Americans, especially American judges and lawmakers, idolize and defer to the Founding Fathers is bordering on Necrocracy. Trying to apply the perceived will of long dead people in decisions that will not affect them but will affect the people who live right now and will live in the future.

Growing up I was told that the reason Cuba and North Korea was in poverty was "because of their dictators."

Nobody talked about how the US has a decades-long sanction on Cuba which exists because the US Empire does not want communism.

Or how about 80% of North Korea was destroyed during the Korean War.

The US does not have a "free press" because the state does not allow corporate media to say the word "genocide," because Israel is their proxy state.

Guys......in the last almost 24 hours I've seen people saying "Trump has won the election!", "The election is won!", "Everything is over!" and more bullshit like that and I HAVE to say:

This is NOT an innocent old man who was shot in the line of civic duty for his nation.

This is DONALD FUCKING TRUMP; the man who wants to be a DICTATOR and enthrall the US in a Christian Theocrocrical Dictatorship:

For people thinking Trump will get "Sympathy Votes", I will admit he may get some BUT the VAST MAJORITY of people either don't care, are glad and are making fun of him at his expense. Case in point?

"HELL NO" was trending on Twitter not even an hour ago because someone made an article saying "We're All Maga"

And Project 2025 is trending on Twitter again which makes me HAPPY:

Remember our mission. Since the Media wants to coddle and treat Trump with Kid Gloves CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC KNOWS ABOUT PROJECT 2025!!!!

Well....that's a sub mission. The REAL MISSION is to get out there and VOTE, VOTE, VOTE.

I have NO DOUBT after yesterday, the MAGA folk who were probably too lazy to vote before are gonna be out even MORE in droves to vote their wannabe dictator king.

PLEASE VOTE.

THANK YOU.

There Are NO Iranian Assassins

It is Sunday November 10, 2024, stories have died down about this, but Putin will continue to push it because it's what that asshole does.

I have a prior post about this, but just so we're clear, there are NO Iranian agents actually trying to kill Trump.

There is no real intent for North Korean soldiers to engage in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

It's all smoke and mirrors ... It is what makes Trump so confident he can end so many conflicts immediately upon entering the White House again - Putin is pulling all the strings.

Also, same script, the Trump team is refusing to sign executive power transition paperwork that in any other presidency would be a nonissue, but they have to make it an issue so Faux News has something to talk about while republicans in congress figure out how to ban abortions nationwide behind closed doors.

All just smoke and mirrors.

Soon, when Trump claims that he strong armed normalized relations with Iran, and his idiot supporters believe him unquestioningly, it will be the most hilarious show of stupidity I've seen in decades. And then, those same republicans will go out and accuse democrats of idolatry - it's going to be fucking hilarious.

It's not going to be hilarious when Trump attempts to make himself Chancellor of America, with the power to veto congress and future presidents, at that point we are going to be at war. We can all thank republicans for that.

A new DPRK News Room documentary after many years! Just as good as their others. I recommend giving it a watch to learn about the ongoing US military occupation of South Korea and the collaboration of the ROK government.

Since we have mounting tensions with Iran again, in addition to the ongoing Israel-Gaza war AND the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and a lot of people posting advocating extreme "solutions" with maximal goals, a reminder:

It is very, very hard to impose major change on a nation state from outside in the modern world- and pretty much impossible if that country is nuclear, for reasons that should be abundantly obvious.

So when we talk about how we're going to deal with Russia, or Iran's bullshit, or end the war in the Middle East, or deal with (God forbid) another Trump Presidency... understand that the rest of the world can say what it thinks should happen, and can exert some indirect pressure in the form of diplomacy, sanctions, etc... But really major territorial or regime changes can ONLY come from within those countries, with the consent and active involvement of their own people.

This is true to some extent of any country of any great size or population, as occupying another country is extremely costly, and there are not the disparities in technology or unfamiliar diseases that allowed European colonialism of old to succeed- nor, thankfully, do I think that the modern world is quite as politically forgiving of simply wiping out or enslaving a people and annexing their land as it used to be.

But it's ESPECIALLY true if it's a nuclear state. Which, to date, includes:

The United States of America

Russia

China

The United Kingdom.

France.

India.

Pakistan.

Israel.

North Korea.

And let's be realistic, since the US has said that Iran's at the point where they could probably build a nuke in a week or two if they want to, we can potentially add:

Iran.

If you want to change the basic structure, government, or borders of any of those countries, then your solution MUST be one that enough people within those countries will consent to, and actively support.

Otherwise, you are not only behaving unethically, you are behaving delusionally. You are not engaging with the world as it is.

I love the peace and anonymity Tumblr gives in general, but by God i really need PPL to respond to this and share their opinion

For social context, I'm a 17 yr old in school. The thing that gets me is how little ppl care about the news(putting it lightly). And i totally get it, it's not lyk we can actually change anything at all in this world (at least rn), so ur opinion doesn't really hv an impact at all. But also, I hv no one to discuss stuff with. U can't talk about the fact that there's a literal genocide going on without boring ppl (tf even). Not in the sense of making tht ur whole personality, but even mentioning it vil give the impression tht ur being too political or serious or smthng. It's not lyk i ve lost friends over this, but it's just tht I hv friends i love but can't talk to about things like this. It's like this with world politics and history in general, no one really cares at all. I m not asking for ppl to be into history, thts a personal interest, but they're not even aware of the basic reasons of y things r happening the way they r in the world today.

And this seriously bothers me. But given tht I hv no one else in my life who cares about this stuff (parents, sibling, friends, classmates), I'm starting to wonder if I'm the one overreacting here. No one ever even mentions it (like EVER), and if I do they're completely uninformed and unbothered with it. Wht are ur thoughts?
