    You’re the one making claims. The burden of proof is on you. Why are you surprised you’re being asked for evidence?

        workers paradise

        Great strawman of what others are saying very impressive.

        You’re replying in support of this workers paradise, are you not?

        Not at this moment no. What I’m responding in favour of is people who make claims providing evidence instead of telling others to provide evidence to prove a negative. You’re making the claim the DPRK is a shithole you have to provide the evidence that proves that (and ideally can survive some scrutiny of backing, bias etc.)

        The DPRK is an authoritarian shithole. Why are you so offended by this statement?

        I’m not particularly other then the fact that the people from the DPRK I met during my time in college were always so nice and proud of how far they’ve come as a nation and seeing you disparage that and generally be kind of an asshole is distasteful.

            You’re just hear to debate the quality of evidence! Of course that must be it!

            No I’m simply saying you should provide evidence for your claims instead of crashing out and throwing a tantrum demanding others prove a negative.

            The DPRK people you met are part of an elite class connected to the regime. Of course they support it.

            I never realised farmers learning agricultural science in a neighboring country were an elite class. (Also I don’t think you know what the word class really means). Regime is a silly word (“government I don’t like”).

                The burden of proof is on you. You’re making the claim. Also it’s not an adhominem you should look up what words mean if you don’t know before using them.

                ad hominem

                Attacking a person’s character or motivations rather than a position or argument.

                I did no such thing. I simply said you need to provide evidence for your claims instead of demanding others prove a negative.

                Pointing out you are throwing a tantrum does not an ad hominem make.

              Look, we’re spread pretty thin since they canned USAid, I opened a ticket with IT and the wait time is two weeks.

        Why are you so offended and so protective of your liberal delusion?

        Your country is the one with the highest prisoner per capita and repeated suppression of any political dissidents. Your country has killed millions in the past 100 years through wars, sanctions and genocide. I don’t give one fuck about Amerikans who are especially so racist, chauvinistic and filled with reprehensible bloodlust towards anyone outside their imperial core.

        Your country is broken and the population there is completely unheard and suffering and you project all of your issues onto another country because you can’t bear to stand knowing that, YES! Your country is in fact this uniquely bad and horrible, not everyone is inherently just as bad or worse by some fantasy logic cooked up by crazy liberals.
