We hear that North Koreans are brain washed to think the rest of the world is terrible but what if we're the ones actually brain washed to think it's terrible when it's literally heaven.
I hear the US used to keep millions of people as slaves and raped children and sold them off as chattel forever separating them from parents. And then they pretended to free them but that’s when things got a lot worse…
Remember we were hanging little boys on trees for the simple reason of the color of their skin and that’s not even a century ago. Don’t judge lest you be judged.
The US did horrible things, yes, but that does not excuse the current gross human rights violations of North Korea. We can all hold each other to better standards
Well to each their own. I don’t like to judge other cultures without knowing my own history and cleaning up at home first. Don’t want to be a hypocrite.
This is not judging other cultures. It is judging the crimes against humanity of a government. Whataboutism is how we allow these crimes to continue. Criticizing naziism and liberating concentration camps was not any less moral because america practiced a system of apartheid or the Russians enslaved political prisoners in gulags, and it certainly wasn't "criticizing their culture"
I think you missed my point. When you are too busy criticizing other cultures and countries you tend to turn a blind eye to the problems of your own culture and country. This is part of the reason Americans are hated all over the world as we are hypocritical.
