When you start to realize that the absurd claims of America towards the DPRK are false, you realize that they are neocolonial pieces of propaganda that are made to make a people come across as savage.
It makes me really cringe at some of the stuff I used to ardently believe in (“DPRK is so savage lmao”), but we all start somewhere. I am so glad that I learned how wrong bourgeois media was because I would have supported some really awful stuff: Xinjiang genocide narrative (it does not exist, and it justifies the funding of terrorism by the CIA in the region), communism being doomed to fail, neoliberalism being the greatest thing, etc… Honestly, I am also glad because communist media is just so much cooler than libservantive media (honestly, I think the mundane or non-revolutionary aesthetic of libservantism kind of helps them, because if people assume that libservantism is simply how societies should be, then they will just stay away from politics due to how boring the constant talks of freedom and liberty are): hamsics and revolutionaries over crusty klansmen and “democracy” that is enforced by bullets.

Exactly. Finding out that I’d been lied to my entire life and that the communists were the good guys was a shocking revelation.
