I’m not skeptical per se. I’ve just been propagandized so fucking much—I grew up watching those propagandocumentaries on the National Geographic Channel about the DPRK, etc., fr that was what I watched instead of cartoons lol.
Pretend I’m a lib who you’re trying to convince, or something. In addition to calming this feeling in my gut like something isn’t making sense, I want to be able to make this argument, myself.
Did you know the US never ended the Korean War? It’s still officially ongoing. Everything you’ve ever heard from Americans and their allies about North Korea is quite literally war propaganda. And it’s not a cold war either since the US annually partners with South Korea to practice invading them.
