That’s a better definition!
That’s the same definition I’ve been using all along. You just wanted it to be written a certain way because you listened to the other guy and got some ideas. That’s been literally my entire point and I think I’ve said it three different ways.
But also don’t exaggerate a "regime"1
Literally the counterpoint to what I was replying to. See? You guys are rehashing everything that has been said all along. You two think I have this other worldview different than yours or something, and you’re trying to fish me out to be the bad guy without realizing we’re talking about the same damn thing from different angles, yet agree on the core principle. Is that clear now? Am I free to go?
What your are calling “details” and “minutia” are attempts
…to not get bogged down in useless definitions that turn out to rehash everything that has been said already? Can we not be practical about it? Must it be a conspiracy? If you’d listened the first time, we wouldn’t be here still.

Oh shit, you got me. Maybe stop giving importance to such low-hanging bullshit. How about that? Between the one who makes it and the one who consumes it with their mouth wide open, I know who I’d rather be in this scenario.

Ex dee, dude. And I can cite an entire conversation of you misreading into a comment and running with it like a chicken with its head cut off. Then dropping a quiz inside a word salad, all the while being perfectly obnoxious about it. How’s that for citing shit from this thread?
Whatever pretense you had about rigor, it just went out the window.

And you say that because you’ve clearly read my entire comment history and have reached a sound conclusion based on clear evidence, right? Totally not being hypocritical, overreaching, dramatic, rude, and a little bit desperate to make one final jab, huh.

only “accidentally falling into the trap” of supporting Bill Gates
It’s like I say things and they don’t even register. I’m so done with you trying to pull shit shit by arguing in bad faith and rehashing what was already said. I’ve been consistent in my answers and now you’re doing some other shit. I can’t with you Lemmings sometimes.
If you need clarification, I probably already gave it and you took it some other way. Go have fun with someone else.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 days ago:
Yes, because you were perfectly happy/capable of giving one before:
That’s a guiding principle at best, bud.
perfectly happy/capable
Having a stronger/more rigorous definition would help you with communicating your ideas […]Cut the sass and the condescending tone.
including a certain ‘argumentative gremlin’, to perceive that as meaning “so long as it doesn’t contradict my existing worldview”.
And that is not my problem if I’ve already clarified but you two are too hung up on details rather than substance and running off on ridiculous tangents. You can take it or leave it and I don’t care either way. I’m done with this pedantic argument over definitions over minutia that I really dgaf about.
So all this bull aside, and I’ll reiterate to cover my bases, my overarching point is: Don’t underplay a regime and make them seem more reasonable than they are by whitewashing history, whether intentionally or not. Sorry if you need further clarification, but I find that self-evident.
Have a good one.

This you?
It takes huge balls to go around calling people stupid only to miss the entire point yourself. Terrible troll, honestly.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 days ago:
Your reply doesn’t really follow the conversation. This is tangential to the main thread. We’re talking about how we present and defend information as a meta commentary on these threads, and not how the invasion of a totalitarian country upsets some folks.
Also, did you just make an account to participate in this thread? Your account is brand spankin’.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 days ago:
“I should be able to say whatever I want about this country, true or not, and if people push back, they’re accidentally licking boots”
Who is saying that?? 😅 If you in the process of clarifying something start overreaching in the wrong direction, you’re giving them leeway they don’t deserve. It’s simple, dude. I’ve seen it happen with people denying and downplaying horrible shit. Just like you want people to not overstate their actions, I don’t want people understating them either as I’ve seen some people do, on purpose or not aka “accidentally”, or as I’m thinking it, “sin querer queriendo”.
That’s the whole reason I’m telling you that I agree with you and that we’re fucking splitting hairs.
Loved the absurd tangent though, but I guess we need focus and surgical precision when it’s my turn to answer, huh.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 days ago:
As it comes up? Idk. What, am I supposed to give a definitive answer now for speaking broadly? I’ve had .ml accounts actively deny the severity of the Tiananmen Square in their efforts to whitewash history. “Oh, it wasn’t that bad.” Really?
This is not a gotcha just because you’re listening to the other fool.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 days ago:
I’m sorry, but Objection has taken the wrong idea and run with it. If you think they’re making a great point, I’d suggest you reread with what I’ve said in mind. I do own that I’m a little hasty to judge .ml accounts from experience, but that’s about it. The other is assuming things with extra dressing to frame the conversation.
Tbh, I don’t even know what the fuck they’re arguing about now, and I can’t be bothered. Seriously, go take a look a that word salad and the embedded quiz of them just being an extra little argumentative gremlin.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 days ago:
What the fuck are you on about, Jessie?
The “trap” of correctly refuting misinformation? How generous of you!
Listen, if you’re going to be this disrespectfully disingenuous, I’d rather you stop right now because you’re already getting into the realm of obnoxious and condescending. Yuck.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 days ago:
And in this case, you replied to someone with .ml saying “why do .ml’s…” and “y’all…” You were clearly including them
I think I very much addressed that in two different points to be rehashing this.
Because of… the truth? Does being a “known violator of human rights” make it ok for people to spread lies?
You’re saying the same thing I’ve expressed but from a different angle. We’re almost down to splitting hairs, except that you’re taking my words to an extreme. Did I or did I not add the tongue-in-cheek qualifier “accidentally” to licking boots to signify the benefit of the doubt of the people falling into this trap?
If North Korea is my “enemy,” it’s certainly a very small and distant one that’s not really worth messing with.
Not so distant if we’re going to be fighting a proxy war against them. If you think they’re a remote country not participating in world affairs, then I’ve got recent news for you.

I think you’re connecting two things in my mind that were completely separate, and are using that as a springboard to jump to conclusions about my supposed standards based on one flawed premise, then about me uncritically accepting things, and also that I’m explicitly against US enemies. Brother, I’m not even American. Can I not talk about a pitfall that I often see with people defending NK, as an “inb4” if you will? Because I hope you reread the sentence that way.
If anything, my only direct comment about the person I’m replying to was the first question: Why so eager to jump in like that about a known violator of human rights that has voiced unconditional support for Russia, a country actively picking a fight with the entire West side of the world? A tyrannic, totalitarian regime is everybody’s enemy as far as I’m concerned.
But sure, maybe I’m reading the other person wrong too, and I’m unnecessarily assigning blame because of my previous experience with this exact same topic with other .ml accounts behaving that way and swarming the person commenting.
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 2 days ago:
I fully support the idea that we have a problem with bias in the news and people profiting from scandals, and we also don’t need to downplay what the government does. We can push back against misinformation without accidentally bootlicking.

Why do .ml’s get so triggered with this topic? And y’all invariably paint NK as these absolute saints when we know what totalitarian regimes do and have done throughout the ages.
