Comment on How I discovered my partner was an undercover police officer sent to spy on me
hansolo@lemm.ee 1 week agoI understand what you’re saying. To be fair, my anchor point is oppressive socialist regimes writ large circa 1944-1990. Kim Il Sung predated Enver Hoxha in terms of models and tactics. Hoxha’s governance style changed over about a decade or two to distance Albania from Yugoslavia and the USSR and emulate North Korea.
By no means do I think it’s an “Asian” thing. Honestly, that’s a silly premise when I’m talking about a single country of 26 million out of 4.7 billion people. NK might barely round up to 1% of the population of Asia, so how is that exactly painting the whole continent? But between Hoxha-era Albania and North Korea, North Korea still exists in largely the same state. So it’s easier to reference as a standard right now.

You could just say “I’m a white supremacist”, that would save us a lot of time.

oh fuck off, i was with you until this point. yea I dont like seeing my country being used as the benchmark for when the west does shitty things. the OP gave a pretty measured response and was thoughtful, patient, and non defensive.
and then you reply like a fucking twelve year old, obviously not having read any of it. go back to hexbear with the other juveniles.
