Kind of amazing how many instances are blocking lemmygrad as soon as they’re created. I know that liberals really don’t like dissenting opinions but goddamn

Would any source I give you be acceptable to you? Guessing western media is out of the question, WHO and HRW too. It’s difficult providing sources if the only acceptable ones are those that deny it’s happening

No. The western sources, why would they tell the truth or say good things about North Korea? They have no incentive. Think about it. There’s no reason for them to praise NK, but every reason to demonize it.

I know I sound like a brainwashed tankie, but… just think about it for a bit. If you’re willing to learn more, you can ask around, everyone here is friendly and open to new people. If you’re not, then lemmygrad probably isn’t the instance for you.

I’m fine with being hyper critical of sources, what I don’t understand is, if you go down that route dismissing sources because of some clandestine connection, why isn’t this applicable to any source? Western media controlled by the CIA or whatever with an agenda of demonizing socialism, media controlled by socialist countries with an agenda of demonizing capitalism. It’s so weird only extending that scepticism to western media

reddit.com/r/sino wiki has a lot of western media news debunked. Maybe take a look and decide for yourself. Just like every pieces of news you read, look at it from 2 sides and sees what is more truthful. examples:

Well, here’s the thing, it’s impossible to be completely objective. So I choose to trust socialist sources because socialism makes more sense to me, and America has lied before.

About Xinjiang— It really is a campaign against terrorism, and not just in Xinjiang. I saw anti-terror slogans plastered on walls when I went back in 2018 or something. And now there is nearly no terrorism in China. All the “proof” for camps are blurry satellite images. It’s an awfully weak reed to rest on. And all the articles cite each other back and forth, all the way to “Adrian Zenz”, apparently some christo-fascist dude who thinks jews will die in the rapture.

Yeah.
