Buddy you just cited Wikipedia. If you wanted me to believe you'd read the "long list of more authoritative sources" that the article contains, then you would have cited the articles instead of Wikipedia. This is the bare minimum you dumbass, you're below high school level right now.
I hope you're aware that "objective", "unbiased", "neutral" journalism is a myth and a complete impossibility. Any reporting on reality requires that the reporter takes a stance on how to report that reality. While some news sources are completely untrustworthy (Radio Free Asia for example) you should not believe ANY news source is ever unbiased. You should remain sceptical no matter what you read, and instead of blindly consuming the "good" news media, you should instead attempt to independently verify the claims made.Remaining sceptical means looking into things yourself instead of going to mediabiasfactcheck.com lol.
This article is completely fine, it's not writing falsehoods or making up shit, nor is it in any way any more opinionated than your average mainstream drivel - it's just negatively opinioned on groups that larger news media is supportive of.
America had a larger infection rate and mortality rate than North Korea.
I know what you're gonna say "oh they lied about their numbers". Why would I trust the US to be honest about theirs? Why would I trust the US media in their claims about North Korea lying about its numbers?The US had several whistleblowers like Rebekah Jones getting arrested/abused/harrased for their reporting on the state of the US obfuscating data.The american media has been shown to lie time and again, especially when it comes to foreign matters - Most famously about Iraq. What reason do I have to trust it?The United States has the largest prisoner population in the world and has a history of persecuting minorites and political dissidents like leaders of black lives matter. These dissidents are dissapeared at secret police blacksites where they are tortured. This prisoner population is used as slave labour, which is still legal.Why would I trust the lies peddled by this authoritarian regime about a country whose population they relentlessly bombed until they'd murdered 20% of it.
The restrictions for leaving and entering have not been imposed on them externally, this attitude of Korea predates even the Roman empire
This is you saying the thing you said you didn't say.
I did give sources. Many sources, ones that weren’t Wikipedia.
"Giving sources" isn't just mentioning them. If that's the case then I can back up the other user by saying they have their data from Reuters, the UN, the CIA, CNN, AP, internal military documents made available by FOIA, BBC, MSNBC, NPR, etc."Providing a source" means you give a reference to a specific text which supports the claim you're making - in other words it's it's linking to them, providing them as references. You've only done this for the aforementioned ancient history and three christian dudes.
Listen to Blowback season 3, it would do you some good.
"Quiet quitting" is a term made up my small business tyrants in the United States to describe workers doing their job as it is described on the contract, and not going "above and beyond". They somehow believe they're owed more than they pay for.
They simplified it so it would be comprehensible for you, you dolt. They even wrote that at the beginning. If you really wanna get into the math, just read Das Kapital. Here's a brief excerpt speaking about the price of linen
You didn't engage with their argument, but good try nonetheless. It's nice to see you cling to a fallacy rather than engage in good-faith discussion of an argument clearly illustrated for you to relate to.
Your parents failed in raising you
