South Korea is one of the most vibrant liberal democracies, with a market economy. North Korea is one of the most staunch autocracies, with a planned economy.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Is saying "I don't get" with replies disabled a way of saying "I don't want to get" ?

It’s telling how some male columnists and commentators have reacted to Riot Women as ‘man-hating’ when it’s simply depicting average everyday experiences women have with men all the time. If seeing the world through a woman’s eyes makes you hate men too the I guess you see our problem.

most people have severely degraded theory of mind for people in their outgroups and it tends to make them wrong
one of the reasons I was substantially ahead of the curve during the pandemic was that I treated China as a real place, and assumed that the Chinese government and scientists as making decisions for real reasons - not always good ones, but real ones!
