Tankies are out in full force today I see…
I’m as anti American as they get, but to go from that to pretending that any and all reports about places that happen to be anti-American (but in no shape or form pro anyone but the dictator and his minions) must be false because “CIA” (who actually do legit horrific things but tankies sleep during those) is the most not only ridiculous (and so so fucking western, which is ironic af), but actively counterproductive stance I could imagine taking.
They also banned skinny jeans in 2021 for the same reason:

Can’t keep their authoritarian bullshit going without brainwashing and extreme control of those poor Koreans.
A don doesn’t wear shorts
I hate north korea as much as the next guy but this don’t sound too real to me brotha imma be honest
“I hate this dictatorship as much as the next person, but I find it extremely hard to believe that it would impose arbitrary rules that marginalise women”
What world do you live in where misogynistic dress codes imposed by a patriarchal society (so essentially all of them) are somehow “unbelievable”?
Like, this isn’t even accusing them of the serious crimes they commit, why are you people so quick to defend an oppressive state? (E: especially considering the flag in your profile which should mean you think all states are oppressive, which makes the whole thing even more bizarre)
Because tankies can’t accept that these regimes aren’t actually good for the people living under them.
I think this is fake because it’s stupid af
This sounds extremely fake.
