    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.
