I know the three dictators have inflicted horrors on the people and all that wasn’t necessary but it was a culmination of so many bad cards
the occupation from Japan / the cutting their country in half / how their cultural heritage reinforced a bad reaction to the situation / the Korean War / Russia and China in their heads / seeing the south sellout to Japan who were so unforgivably nasty and then things work out for the south and not them and the way their culture digests that kind of indignity
Then there’s the isolation and the propaganda and the fear and one of the worst famines of the 20th century
I mean damn maybe if the world just admitted hey we really ****ed up here
I know this is one of the least inarticulate posts I’ve ever made but maybe if the world came to them with a sense of humility instead of constant judgement. I get that it’s hard not to judge horrible dictators but so many ****ty things had to happen first for all that to fall into place.
At the least that famine in the nineties was a terrible failure for all of humanity not just them. We really ****ed up too. The blood is on our hands too. I always say that but it’s really true.
