Nonetheless two wrongs don't make a right.


sure, Im not saying that they do make it right. I am pointing out the conspicuous hypocrisy that people don't feel that they have blood on their hands for paying US taxes, but aiding NK in any way is a mortal sin.


I find this comparison extremely weird.

North korean prisons are described as hellholes whereas US prisons actually seem decent to me (eastern european) if we exclude that you likely won't have the best of company.

Plus that only a small amount of taxes go towards the prison system.


> whereas US prisons actually seem decent to me

based on what? Places like Angola or San Quentin are as brutal as any gulag.


Should we compare the %of taxes that go to gulags and military in NK to that in the US? I honestly wonder if they would be favorable
