Meltdowner is a glorified Trump bot, he doesn't give a shit. He just says whatever feels good at the moment.

Just like his bear daddy.

He's a drive-by shitposting troll in this forum. His sole motivation for posting here is to make librul tears and doesnt care for actual discussion.

There's about an 80% chance he'll report this post. I was wrong; he also comes here to report posts to moderators.

I don't know it either, it might be true.  But good to know we're aligned that we can't be sure right now.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kim Jong Un executed infected people.

It's a decently effective way to prevent pandemics.

Agreed.

Snopes said a South Korean paper (Donga) reported a guy "who had been quarantined as a precautionary measure was executed after breaking quarantine to visit a public bath. Donga reports that this person was allegedly sentenced to death because the public’s health was put at risk."

Snopes also marked this claim as “Unproven.”

That's a lot more reasonable than what I expected. I figured they executed the family and torched the house with them in it as soon as someone tested positive, TBH.

The first part of your statement is what I came to mine because he is so egotistical and such a tyrant that after Contracting the disease I can't imagine he didn't retaliate out of spite.

Honestly? I don't think KJU acts out of spite very often. I doubt ego is part of it.

I think he's a modern day Dionysius (of Damocles fame), except with generational baggage. He acts out of necessity for self preservation, and his routine executions are largely due to the fact that he is surrounded by people that are out to get him. Same with his stranglehold on power and the people. He cannot show weakness, because if he does, half the country will revolt, and the first general to get to his troops will take the throne and have KJU executed.

The whole "being worshiped as a living god" bit is likely a form of self protection against this exact thing--it provides him with some protection even as a figurehead.

So you're saying that he has to kill people and it's Justified because he has no other option? Kill/make death camps or be killed?

By the way he has had many opportunities do except humanitarian Aid and simultaneously look like a hero of North Korea. You think the people that have been starving for Generations are going to have palm trees about where they food came from?

When he kills someone, it needs no justification.  As a god, everything he does is already just.

People seem to get this idea that when I think some dictator made the technically correct decision, that I think that decision is justifiable. MagicMush thinks I worship Xi Jinping because I think he's repeatedly made the right calls. No, I don't, and I wouldn't want to live in China. That being said, Xi and Putin are neck and neck in the race for "most competent leader in the world at this moment" in my book. That's not to say they're good leaders, nor that I would like to live under them. Only that they are the most competent, from the standpoint of consolidating power and piloting their countries forward.

A decision can be both technically correct and morally unjustifiable. If we skip over the moralistic arguments (which is quite necessary in this case, otherwise the entire debate would be "KJU is a fuck" repeated ad nauseum), then KJU's decision to run death camps and rule with an iron fist is correct, in the sense that it (a) maintains his power, (b) keeps him alive, and (c) keeps the country...sort of alive. At the very least not devolved to a complete State of Nature.

It's like Ollivander said about Voldemort's wand in Harry Potter: "Voldemort did great things - terrible, yes, but great."

So are you.

Doesn't make the quote invalid. Just dumbs it down enough for young adult literature demographics.
