Freaking bizarre...but it's North Korea

[PostFactum]

In one day all of it will end, I hope so.

[Guy_Fawkes]

Not sure if I can actually believe all of it.

The UN at least tolerates this kind of BS in that it apparently sees no problem with that when they made them Chairmen for the Disarmament Congress, perhaps they will make them chairmen of the Committee against racism as they are racist they will fit right in.

Racial purity is a myth, then again, so is the success of Stalinism.

What political motive does the US have to continue feeding N Korea?

The US tolerates them as well. As does every other country.

I'll just let you digest that over the next couple of days.

According to the article, andyt, that's on the horizon either way.

Interesting read, thanks!

Quote:

Myers makes a persuasive case that we should instead regard the Kim Jong-il system as a phenomenon of the very extreme and pathological right. It is based on totalitarian "military first" mobilization, is maintained by slave labor, and instills an ideology of the most unapologetic racism and xenophobia.

So we're to believe that North Korea is more akin to factions of the Repulican Party than Stalin?

What a crock of shit and for clairities sake a persuasive case doesn't necessisarly mean a true one.

I think with all the MULTITUDE of problems North Koreans face on a daily basis I think racism to foreigners has to be waaaay down the list of things to address.

WARNING - TIN FOIL HAT Theory

But if the USA can forestall it long enough, its BMD system should be able to deal with it.

Ah, Stalinist regime the great boogeyman of the modern era. That and theocracies are the only politically correct bad guys left.
