I was seriously looking at a tattoo, but dropped the idea after running it by a friend who was more aware of the problematic implications than I was at the time.
It's not hard to make a mistake. And it might be hard to recall that, at least in America prior to 2016, we didn't generally take (neo)Nazism and unironic fascism seriously.
But your criteria for a state being a "good" one is that it has resisted a bad one. I'm sure anyone with two brain cells to rub together can understand how that doesn't follow. As for why some folks might not like it, I could just vaguely gesture at all the western media that repression of speach and thought there and ask if there's anything reliable that can gainsay the claims. Haven't seen it.
The above meme references a resolution that forbids NK citizens from working outside the country to send remittances back, as a part of a sanctions regime against the country for nuclear proliferation. It doesn't forbid travel. So, you're the liar in this case. Idk why, scarcely care.
Okay cool.
So I'm sure there's good evidence somewhere that that NK isn't a cult of personality built around eternal president Kim Il Sung and the Kim family.
Yeah that's cool. Which is part of why I don't get why North Korea gets any fucking love. I mean, times are hard for everyone I'm sure but aesthetics aside they don't seem any more "socialist" than the "national" socialists. Even in all the dubious circumstances where a communist country had a presidential effectively served for the length of his natural life, aside from a brief interlude by Raul Castro none that I can recall have shown dynastic tendencies.
Some folks think you just gotta love every country that calls itself communist, or voices opposition to the US, like a fun house mirror version of conservative nativism.
Technically I don't even care that she filmed him within his home, although I'm sure he would and it's not great behavior. The problem I have is that she posted it online. I feel like sometimes people forget that taking a picture or recording a video is one thing, and posting it online is a completely different thing, but because we see all these pictures and videos from other people online we forget that they made two separate choices in order for us to do so: they recorded the thing and they shared it with us.
I mean, any dasher that posts people's business online is definitely shit at their job and deserves 0 future orders, though I hadn't read at the time that that's exactly what she did. I was just guessing it was more complicated than it looked from the headline.
He might have been lying naked pretending to be asleep with his door hung open for some kinky sex thing, or he could have gotten fucked up, ordered food, and passed out. I'd leave it to a jury. And obviously no one wants to see that. But she shouldn't have posted a video showing the guy inside in an indeterminate state inside his own apartment. That's the only thing we know for sure that happened, because she did it. Everything else is pretty much hearsay.
It's better because it's life.
Life is the medium of all value, everything else is physics.
And I don't think prisons should be abusive torture chambers either. Revenge is poison. Prison should exist to separate the dangerous and harmful people from society, and to reform them as able.
I also recall someone once saying that privacy isn't about maintaining secrecy around one's inner life, but rather the capacity to regulate or control how one shares it.
Feeling a lack of control over privacy makes lots of people cagey about opening up to others, and that's a killer for intimacy and trust. Some of the problem is tech that doesn't respect privacy, but the prevalence of such tech has also changed culture, and so one has to be more cautious with people who have been trained by their tools that privacy isn't to be respected.
Okay but also don't record people without their consent and post it publicly. Idk why she was suspended but that would be reason enough.
If you think it would be evidence of a crime and you felt like you needed it to pursue charges I could understand saving a photo or video privately to later turn over, but suppose dude got blitzed, ordered DoorDash, and passed out before it arrived, and you're gonna share that with 8 billion of your closest friends? Gtfo
Same? Like does no one remember being 12, or did they just block it out?
