As I am every time, I am genuinely baffled about who these people are.
Are they propaganda bots? Confused Westerners who have chosen the world’s weirdest “team” to be on and support uncritically (or been driven there by the very real shittiness of the Western system in some respects)? People from communist countries who are trying to cope? Trolls? Parody accounts? Something else?
I think that a lot of them are #2. But it just seems so weird and tragic all of them getting together every day on the internet to tell each other how awesome North Korea is. I am very curious to be able to sit down and have a face to face conversation with one and just see what’s in there.
I used to post on r/pyongyang. It was a lot of veiled sarcasm praising the regime, famine, prison camps, etc. Every once in a while someone new would show up confused. Depending on their responses, they would either be attacked as capitalist shill pigs, or ‘gaslit’ with more posts praising NK in comparison to the free world.
I don’t get that vibe from this group. But I could be wrong.
Same opinion. Pyongyang was fun, we laughed at each other and invented the most stupid sentences to praise this dictatorship.
But tankies on lemmy are not fun at all. I think it’s a mix of bots and angry teenagers, but I can be wrong too.
until someone prove my wrong i doubt it’s bots, maybe for upvotes etc, but i think is just some people that need urgently touch grass
Seeing how anytime is Hamas is criticized here, the critic is given a torrent of down votes yet nobody ever really responds to the criticism, I think bots are almost certainly an issue here.
nah, just too much extremists, they don’t hawe good argument that’s why they dont answer
I once had like 87 cowards downvoting me though. You dont think even a single one was a not?
? i said that it can be bots
I’m learning that no matter how stupid an idea is, at least a few people will 100% buy it and argue for it.
In the loyalist mindset, reality is a team sport.
Wow, that is upsetting to read.
At least most of them are in one place.
In 10 more years! 10 more years and North Korea will be a superpower /s
I thought the title was exaggerating. It was not.
This explains a lot about the… just… takes that have infested !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
