A lot of western news articles make more sense if you stop thinking about them as trying to inform you of something, and start thinking about them as trying to get you to feel a certain way. The goal is to push people towards idealist thinking as much as possible, and disregard reality as much as possible. The goal of this piece isn’t to inform, it’s to give liberals a smug “serves them right” feeling as they pat themselves on the back for being the moral ones during their morning 5 minutes of hate.
lmao yeah, they’ve just been killing North Koreans this whole time and never noticed
How did this article get published? How would anyone with even a semblance of a brain believe this?
