  • The source routinely lies about this kind of shit.

    You've been primed to believe this kind of bullshit to manufacture your consent for any and all heinous shit we continue to subject the DPRK to.

    They are giving you an enemy that isn't the capitalists currently exploiting you.

  • So, the Houthis are instituting a blockade. Sometimes a blockade needs to be enforced. Is doing that a terrorist act? If so, America is a larger terrorist in this regard (see Cuba for a single example), and Israel blockades the entire Gaza strip. Unless your entire world view is "we can do anything to them, and they can't do anything back", you'll have a hard time with hand wringing about one over the other.

    The Houthis blockade is for a just cause in my opinion, so frankly they have a higher moral standing.

    And you brought up the flag again... Here. Norm Finklestien says it better than I ever could. https://www.reddit.com/r/Hasan_Piker/comments/1g5jv2u/norman_finkelsteins_response_on_the_houthis_slogan/

  • The US designated Nelson Mandela a terrorist up until 2008. I don't give a fuck what the US labels as a terrorist organization. It's a label meant to terminate thought and allow them justification for all inhumane actions against them.

    He isn't a houthi, that was discovered in the interview which changed the tone of the interview. Please stop regurgitating bad faith talking points istg.

  • Wow.... so you're telling me you took an action that resulted in the death of one person.... to save the lives of many people... who would have died if you did nothing??? that sounds so familiar

    • The kid isn't a Houthi. They flew out civilians to the boat as a sort of tourist attraction.
    • He was trying to humanize a human, oh no how terrible.
    • While the kid isn't Houthi, they've been incredibly clear their interference is entirely based on solidarity with the Palestinians getting genocided. They are attempting to apply pressure to stop it, which I think is a good thing (even if it might disrupt the global flow of treats).
    • Yemen was being genocided while he was a child, and the kid is a survivor of the genocide (one the US funded and facilitated). The comparison isn't perfect, but apt.
    • He says every damn day how antisemitism isn't OK, and he doesn't agree with the flag. Do remember Israel is the one cynically hiding behind Judaism for the actions of their state. This isn't an excuse, but it is contextually important for why Yemeni people might hold antisemitic opinions.
