    Anger is the natural emotion one feels when they become aware of the world and the damage the west has done. Where there is desperation, there is a demand for change and the imperialist west has engineered such desperation for the world over millions in exchange for cheap goods.

    I don’t need your sympathy. “I pray that you will grow intellectually, so that you can understand the problems of the world and where you fit into, in that world picture. I pray that all the fear that has ever been in your heart will be taken out” ~ El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz

    Hong Kong was a British buffer state that deserved to be crushed and Tiananmen Square was where student protestors were given weapons and materials to attack Chinese officials/police officers. Even your average communist can tell you that when you attack police/etc you should EXPECT a response despite the remarkable restraint they showed. Much more than American police at the very least.

    Instead of shitting your whole pants and crying about propaganda, how about you apply some actual critical thinking and tell me why X is propaganda and how so instead of knee-jerk deflecting into “DUH TANKIE COMMIE IZ BAD”

    Example, why is Taiwan not there’s when it was created by a fascist government in exile that was justifiably exterminated by the communists after collaborating with the Japanese?

    "The number of Korean dead, injured or missing by war’s end approached three million, ten percent of the overall population. The majority of those killed were in the North, which had half of the population of the South; although the DPRK does not have official figures, possibly twelve to fifteen percent of the population was killed in the war, a figure close to or surpassing the proportion of Soviet citizens killed in World War II…

    Russian accusations of indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets did not register with the Americans at all. But for the North Koreans, living in fear of B-29 attacks for nearly three years, including the possibility of atomic bombs, the American air war left a deep and lasting impression. The DPRK government never forgot the lesson of North Korea’s vulnerability to American air attack, and for half a century after the Armistice continued to strengthen anti-aircraft defenses, build underground installations, and eventually develop nuclear weapons to ensure that North Korea would not find itself in such a position again… The war against the United States, more than any other single factor, gave North Koreans a collective sense of anxiety and fear of outside threats that would continue long after the war’s end."
