I haven't watched the video either, but I know their entire government has built its legitimacy on ridiculous levels of fear-mongering. Their legitimacy is pretty shaky and its kind of impressive they've survived this long after the USSR caved.

@Vilageidiotx

I watched it and it touches on MAD theory a little bit but generally the explanation they give is „... the Kim dynasty has seen US topple Iraq because they thought they had nuclear weapons, and has seen Gadaffi give up his nuclear program in favor of cooperation and ultimately get killed at the hand of US backed rebels. They are determined not to follow the same course. Hence they are determined to create ICBM's capable of reaching the USA because this would effectively shatter the alliances USA has with Japan and South-Korea [because it'd induce MAD theory] and topple the scale in their favor in terms of negotiations.”

It makes sense but it's not the only reason they want ICBM's. And yeah their legitimacy is shaky (but, ultimately, rooted in North Korea. There's no North Korea if the Kim dynasty falls, I reckon, because if the dynasty falls the USA will enter and enforce unity with South Korea/put in democracy) and it's kinda impressive that they did survive this long. Even China isn't really backing them *as much* anymore and yet they're there defying the odds.

Elitist cunts, mostly. But maybe I'm assuming too early, eh? I mean, I've had all of one discussion with you in the year you've been here, so.

And I'm not sure why you assume I'm upset, but tone has never been read properly on the internet. Maybe this was also a joke? That was another thing people used to do. I saw someone tell another user to kill themselves a few years back. When called out on it, he said it was a joke. It was actually kinda fucked up, saying something in a serious way then going back on it when you get shit on for it.

@BrobyDDark

Now now, there are limits to things even I would say (+ members have been banned for saying that and I'd rather not risk my chances). But no, I don't actually hate spam, because it's actually kinda funny at times. I just wish we'd move on from commie jokes but that seems to be a recurring theme. But yes, tones are hard to read. It's text after all and there's not really any tone involved unless you make it blatantly obvious you're joking ;) ;) ;) ;) ;))))))))

That kinda removes the mystery no?

Well, I never said you've been here. I said people LIKE you used to thrive in Spam. Reading comprehension was never their thing either.

@BrobyDDark

i'm not even sure what you mean with people like me. you know my name not my story bb. we both know what you meant

either way not sure why you're upset about a non-serious comment i made but evidently you can't comprehend when others are joking either so i'll just leave it at this

@BrobyDDark I've never been in spam beyond 1 or 2 posts my homie but good try

Discussion about current worldly events

@NuttsnBolts I think it's just MAD theory, no? I didn't watch the video (yet) but in short they're just using it as a deterrent for people to attack them.

Because...what? Someone misclicked?

@BrobyDDark

because someone posted stale memes in the roleplaying forum yes Broby, thanks for your careful and intelligent analysis of the situation

#Freekekistan

this has to be the best example of why people dislike the spam forum ever

Inkarnate's Music Discussion Thread

@Fisticuffs I definitely never heard that before but I don't know the song. I think it references alcoholism/party culture being toxic af.

Inkarnate's Music Discussion Thread

@Fisticuffs nah he doesn't explicitly 'state' that it's about dead presidents but it's what you can infer given the lingo surrounding dead presidents. It's a common theme, hence I just automatically made that link as did many others.

Inkarnate's Music Discussion Thread

@Fisticuffs I love XXX. Most his songs are just lit hypebeast tracks and a few of them are lyrically just really good. I don't mind the KKK speech in Riot. It serves its purpose, and it definitely fits the rest of the song.

I think you might be misunderstanding XO tour life. "All his friends are dead" refers to his only friends being dead presidents (money). The rest of it is about how his girlfriend broke up with him, telling him to get off the xanny, and how she was pushing him to the edge. I don't think it's depressing per say. But yeah overall this has been going on for a while.
