    You missed my point. The U.S. dropped a total of 635,000 tons of bombs (including 32,557 tons of napalm) on Korea, more than during the entire Pacific War. 2-3 million Koreans died because of US involvement from one sided massacres, starvation, and disease. The only genocide that happened was done by our side. Why are they listing “North Korea” as a country that is guilty of genocide? It’s a fucking joke.

      Because they are. But we all understand that you don’t care about queer folk in other countries, as long as you’re safe.

      I love the bit where North Korea invaded and massacred great numbers of people in the South, which was what kicked off the war, yet the total death count of the Korean War is on the US’s head, lmao. Anything to play apologist for your favorite genocidal fascists, huh?

        Far more queer people have been blown up by Israel in the past six months, statistically. We’re about 3% of any given population. Whenever you see mass death, always remember queer people are being killed too.

        Aren’t I supposed to support the lesser evil?

          Yep, and for some reason you keep supporting evils that are completely unrelated. But hey, glory to North Korean concentration camps murdering LGBT folk, right? It’s important in [checks notes] stopping Israel?

            Stopping the US empire means siding with its enemies. Pick a side.

            Also, here’s an account from an actual gay defector. Doesn’t sound like genocide to me. It doesn’t sound good, of course, but he wasn’t tortured or killed or imprisoned or anything like that. I’m sure you can find some nonsense from a South Korean tabloid or the US State Department, but I do not think they’re doing genocide over there.
