DragonTypeWyvern,

It’s undeniable that the embargo is responsible for quite a lot of economic suffering in North Korea while only strengthening the Kim monarchy’s grip.

It’s also undeniable that the South Korean government eventually reformed their way out of fascism. Was that narrow, twisty, and decades long path worth the war that was fought, given it is also simply impossible to say what would have happened if the Allies had let the fascists in South Korea be conquered?

Would that have strengthened the Kims, or would they be more like the modern Vietnamese government? Or would they just have been annexed by the PRC?

DragonTypeWyvern,

Name something more conservative than betraying humanity by choosing willful ignorance and compliance to your oppressors.

Patrick Bateman, serial murderer yuppie, takes respect for intellectual property seriously.

DragonTypeWyvern,

That was always the point of it.

DragonTypeWyvern,

That’s pretty rural.

Did your town just have one road named after Bedford Forrest or two?

How to develop a parasocial relationship

DragonTypeWyvern,

Depends on if you think it’s stealing to steal from a thief.

DragonTypeWyvern,

I’ll be honest, I trust Big Shapiro more than Ben Shapiro.

At least Big Shapiro can enjoy something about life.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Weird that these deniers don’t just go straight to the CIA saying it’s not genocide.

Of course, the CIA does lie professionally, and isn’t exactly known for being anti-genocide.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Funny, I thought Fight Club was about the good guys winning the war against credit card companies with the power of domestic terrorism.

DragonTypeWyvern,

This is an actual Biblical fact, for more details see the documentary The Da Vinci Code.

DragonTypeWyvern,

If you accept the Biblical proof of God you do also have to accept that he’s a huge asshole.

I think, honestly, the worst thing about Star Wars fans discussing the intricacies of Star Wars is that there are no intricacies and it’s concerning how many people still missed the points.

Arrested Development (was cancelled at the time)

DragonTypeWyvern,

Well, they can, it just makes the peasants hate you.

It’s not just that though.

Anyone can get tunnel vision. A basic set of aphorisms is useful to keep yourself on task.

For example, let’s say you’re the greatest general who ever lived and Russia’s being a petty bitch and keeps running away from fights.

You can either read a basic set of fundamental rules to remind yourself not to lose it all with greed, or

You, but actually knows things.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Elf ears prepared us mentally

The DCEU ends not with a bang, but a wimper. (lemmy.ml)

10 years after Zod’s snapped neck, Martha, “some kinda Suicide Squad”, CGI moustache, rennouncing your wish, the hiearchy of power changing, and Speed Force PS1 graphics, the DC Extended Universe finally comes to a close. And it ends the same way it started - with a Rotten score....

DragonTypeWyvern,

Trying to make DC a gritty Marvel is what fucked it up for them.

The core Justice League members are endlessly optimistic and idealistic, even Batman, and that is what makes them work.

Having Superman let a tornado kill his dad is what makes it fail.

DragonTypeWyvern,

There are anti-fog products you can buy for that but I’ve never had great results from them.

DragonTypeWyvern,

I’m curious about how some people seem to think it’s a daily task.

Is this is a dust/smog thing?

DragonTypeWyvern,

It depends on how much your parents love you

South Korea at the time was run by actual fascists, people often originally put in charge by the prior Japanese occupation who helped genocide their own people and kept by the “democratic” Allies because, being fascists, they really hated commies.

It’s also simply disingenuous to pretend North Korea’s economic problems aren’t mostly caused by the embargo they’ve been under for seventy years.

Does that make North Korea the victim?

Well, not really, but on the other hand, you can certainly understand the invasion.

Unlike some people, they actually were invading fascists. Ones that actually were their people’s oppressors, and even to this day most Koreans consider themselves a divided nation and support reunification, unlike Russia and Ukraine or Serbia and literally everyone else from the former Yugoslavia because the Serbs were dicks.

From that point of view it’s certainly easier to understand why they would portray themselves as victims compared to people who just want to conquer and genocide their neighbors.

But time is funny, you become what you hate, etc.

Can’t really say Marxist-> Feudal Monarchy is the typical trajectory though.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Murder is a crime, the fact that a quorum of Senators were involved and he was a genocidal tyrant overthrowing an early democracy makes it the justified execution of Julius Caesar, 44 BC.
