You dunk on Lindsey whateverhernameis for tweeting bad things about leftists fomenting violent insurrection, but hopeful Balkanization and US collapse posts are downbeared. Are you just larping? Either the bourgeois state can be ended without violence or it cannot. I’m not here for enlightened centrism, folks.
Not the good part of North Korea, the part that worships a strongman and would fanatically die to protect their nationalist ideology. Then again they only put a portrait of Kim in their house so maybe they’d find something like a Trump Train to be an insane degree of zealotry.
literally every country has an unhealthy worship of their political leaders.
go ask a brit about churchill.
the korean love of the kim family is def a hell of a lot better, given the reason for it, than the trump fans loving a president who has caused the unecessary deaths of some quarter million citizens. its like comparing a love of gandhi (problematic) to a love of churchill (wtf)
Sure, uphold Marxism-Monarchism or whatever. That’s not what I’m talking about though. I don’t know how much KCNA you watch and read on a weekly basis but I generally catch about 3-4 episodes a week for b-roll in my dog’s videos and keep current with Rodong Sinmun and Choson Sinbo for the wording of the articles. What I’m describing is the cultural manifestation of that worship. Britons might be Churchill apologists, largely because we’re stupid and have the same quality of history education that Americans have, but that doesn’t become a reinforcing ideology around the Churchill dynasty or Conservatism-Churchillianism or the tonality of a video in which a Conservative PM visits a farm and everybody cums or a construction project at night randomly has a Conservative Party band playing music about Churchill. That’s a very specific Spectacle and an aesthetic that’s in a specific state of cultural revolution western politicians don’t have.
