Why do you have to defend the fascists in this specific case, then?

Do some research for 5 seconds. The country has been at war for decades for no fault of their own. I don't laugh when the US is sending billions of dollars of military equipment when I see dozens of new homeless people every day. It's just not funny. Military expenses are irrelevant, anyway. Feeding people could be done with or without spending on military. The difference is that North Korea is under sactions when they have like 18% arable land.

Oh ok, it's only okay to be homophobic if you're laughing at people who suck the wrong person's dick.

You mean to tell me that hearing that exact phrase during my entire life in a homophobic context has all of a sudden changed meanings? I don't buy your bullshit.

If hating tankies means you have to support fascist dictatorships, then I guess I'll never hate tankies.

You're the type of idiot that would be living in Africa during the 1910s holding arguments about whether Germany or the US is better, while refusing to let anyone speak up about them both being awful.
