Nah I wasn’t being ironic, I genuinely support the DPRK.
Do you actually want to live in a DPRK-style country?
I don’t know, but what I want isn’t relevant. The DPRK has endured a lot of suffering after the Korean War and has to struggle a lot to overcome the limitations brought upon it by the War and villification from the West. It’s obviously not a paradise, but it’s also probably not as bad as Western media portrays, and it’s definitely not as bad as the US and the rest of the imperial core.
let me explain, the thing is , as far as I know, there’s no vocal American-style liberal on Lemmy, the furthest to the right we’ve got are centrists, so liberal here means social democrats and anarchists, and since we have only one socdem, soferman, and our anarchists are a bit quiet, most of the comments are written by our communist friends. so yeah, most active users of !liberalnews are communists :)
ah , and don’t worry, they aren’t trying to support executions or bad stuff like that, they believe most of these stories are western imperialist prpaganda.
lol I know, I personally don’t use liberal as such a broad term, but in this sense liberal means someone who cares about personal freedom and liberties, as opposed to a passion for freeing the masses (honestly I care about both and don’t even understand why they can’t be achieved at the same time, both are good and neccessary in my opinion).
PS: the tone of my comment is in no way hostile or condescending 🙂
Are people being ironic here? I find it difficult to read this place. Your comment is +9 -3 at the time of writing this.
Do you actually want to live in a DPRK-style country? I mean this is “liberal news” not “crazy fucked up worst possible version of communism news”.
