    If I had a poor neighbor that relied on me for food and financial support during hard times and then turned around and told everyone what a piece of shit I am and how much they’re going to fuck me up next time they see me, and how much better their car is than mine? Yeah, I would call them out for their shitty ass car when they pulled it out of the driveway and the door was duct taped on. And I wouldn’t really feel that bad about it.

      And then after you recall how it’s all your fault that they’re on that situation? And you’ve kidnapped half their family and are using them as slaves for your interests? What do you think then?

        Not sure you’re going to be able to make me feel sorry for the Kim Jong Un regime. They do terrible things to their people and while the US is far from perfect, I really don’t think we’re the shittier neighbor. I don’t think we’re enslaving anyone either but if you have a source I’d be happy to read about it.

          They do terrible things to their people and

          Just as a quick test, see if you can remember what these things are and whether they’re true or not.

          Regarding slavery in the USA, you guys run the world’s largest network of slave camps. You have 20% of the world’s prison population, mostly black and other minorities. Slavery is legalised in the American constitution.

          Recently slaves in Texas were dying in their cells at a rate of 2 per day from the heat, because the prison camps had made the water too expensive for them to drink.

          Nothing that happens in the DPRK comes close to that depravity.
