And perhaps I'm just justifying my own "self-harming with bad scholarship" tendencies, but I have to say that reading critically is how you develop the ability to question, to not imbibe what's placed in front of you, to develop your own perspective without taking what's presented to you as truth.

Once you notice how the worst, most self-absorbed theory ascribes phenomena to identity essences instead of asking how oppressive forces act upon us, you get why it's so narrow in scope.

LMAO so much for sticking to the "principle of the discussion" 😂 comparing the dprk and the us is braindead, regardless of how amazing you think the culture that produced you is (and finally I'm chinese, not white lol). log off bluesky and go touch some grass

wow, you're so insufferably arrogant yet so wrong. the "principle" of equivocating the dprk's structural forces to the us' structural forces shows you have no significant knowledge of either. stop being racist and start criticising the us on its own terms 🙄

🙄 don't you have children's beheadings to support?
