I'd give you a hug if you were in my neck of the woods.

There's been border skirmishes between the militaries where soldiers engaged to hand-to-hand combat over land claims, so there's been historical animosity for a decent while.

So I got lucky and talked to the Korean folks today and asked them about mainly the first question since that was mainly all the time we had.

So they more or less said that Park Chung Hee and the successor puppets until recently have abused the pain and the innocence of the Korean people by exploiting the still bandaged wounds caused by the brother war to urge on the rapid industrialization and complete transformation of society into a strong manufacturing hub but because it was a capitalist interpretation of 5 year plans the economic capacity of ROK was publicly traded on the international stock market and the economic miracle that transformed them from a bombed out colonized peasant kingdom into the newest rising star of the east a la the '97-'98 financial crisis that crippled the country to the point the government begged the people to patriotically give their gold jewelery to the Korean financial system. They also more or less said that the only reason why the ROK overtook the DPRK was primarily because the DPRK built their industrial capacity off of Soviet oil and had their legs swept from under them by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the oil spigot getting shut off leading to the crippling of their industrial and agricultural production which also was heavily exasperated by the famine caused by the foul weather at the time. Whereas the ROK industrial capacity is completely plugged into the global market system allowing full access to needed commodities to fuel their production in addition to receiving some funds from the u.s to grease the wheels as well.

So I didn't get to talk with Furr or the Korean comrades in regards to your questions as the former was rather enthusiastically discussing his recent discoveries he made in his most recent dive into the Soviet archives in regards to the NKVD section regarding the military trials, some german communist double-agents (in the bad way), and a funny side tangent about how reactionarilly anti-communist the poles are because their national history academic world hate his guts.

The latter I spent time discussing the recent doctors strike wave, their thoughts on the state of affairs on the international stage, and whether the weather in Korea was warming up or not.

Also it's prof. Furr's birthday and he was short on time making sure he could make it to dinner with his daughter and her family.

I'll interpret that as asking them their take on anti-dprk propaganda in the rok

Please don't push the bottom-trough slop of the internet on poor sweet and kind Main.

Coincidentally that moratorium on mainposting might be lifted pending the change in quality of posting. Which is a low bar as is, but the spirit of main is the point.

Waitaminute...

This shitposting is also in the spirit of mainposting because all posts are mainposts in denial!

I rest my case your honor!

Motion approved and dismissed!

What's up nerds and losers, I'm meeting Grover Furr and some representatives from the People's Democracy Party of South Korea, who are progressives and not communists because it's illegal to be an organized communist party in South Korea, and some other neat people from around the globe tomorrow.

If you got any questions you want me to ask any of them, let me know.

If 30% is wrong then that's 30% right in my book

Because America is built by non-catholic faiths composed of heretics that love to burn women alive, abusers that craft abusive personality cults in hills-have-eyes country, false prophet grifters who tell you god's gonna cure your terminal ilness if you help them get a private jet for their dogs, the hate-worshiping demons that blight the south 'evangelicals' that drive modern american politics, and misogynistic polytheistic pagans wearing the Christian mask while dressed in their weird underwear and tell you you're not allowed to drink coffee but monster energy drinks are a-okay, who all want to be acknowledged as the real Christian faith instead of being labeled as schismatic protestants and chose to go with the common moniker "catholics & christians" instead of "catholics and protestants"

Let me be klearry.

That is an outstanding idea

Boo this post is liberalism boo

The rule should be stopping Twitter screenshot posts
