    Hitting yourself in the dick with a hammer is bad.

    Very intelligent person: “Heh did SOCIETY tell you that?”

      You’re implying that the DPRK being Hell on Earth is a fact as self-evident as self-harm being bad, without any need for investigation or a care for the facts at hand beyond pure instinct.

      In this case hitting yourself in the dick with a hammer is analagous to crippling your ability to understand the world by thoughtlessly swallowing the Epstein Empire’s propaganda about other countries you’ve never seen or been to. So yes, it is bad and yes, your society did tell you to do it.

        It’s gobsmacking how every time these kinds of people have refused to open their eyes, finally had them forced open (eg couldn’t ignore/deny/whitewash material facts) continue to uncritically, without serious investigation (outside the same Western sources) continue to deny/ignore/whitewash everything else leftists try to tell the world. They are actively harming humanity by suppressing the truth just because they can’t accept it.
