I was just here because I searched for the Radio Play, I don't read the rest of your overdone self-indulgent bullshit threads, and I only like the Radio Play because me or someone I know is in it. Please finish the Radio Play and post it. Also, I don't think Tim Gunn is even really gay, he's like asexual or something.

The left and right spectrum doesn't really work at the best of times. North Korea is especially difficult to place its best just understood as "North Korea". If your going to call North Korea right it just panders to the idea that right = nasty which isn't nesesairly true.

They use the propoganda of both extreme right and extreme left, which is common in totalitarian regimes so as to appeal to all their citizenry.

Naturally tending right wingers like the regime because of korean nationalism, korean racism, keeping the korean culture pure, and imperial ambitions.
Naturally tending left wingers like it because it's supposedly radically egalitarian, anti-capitalist, and anti-american.

This has the problem of causing people in other countries to view those propoganda pieces and then fit it into their narratives about how the other side are all evil fucks, when really, it's about sociopathic opportunists saying whatever they need to in order to obtain power.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.
