1. Always derive conclusions from facts. Don’t be like libs with the other way around: always starting from a conclusion in mind, then desperately seeking facts (of course leading to things like confirmation bias and pathetic self-validation) to justify it.

Don’t support AES like DPRK/Cuba/China because they belong to your tribe. Have principles like anti-imperialism and human development, healthcare and education, freedom of self-determination and democratic will, and support them because they actually check the boxes.

2. Ask why, try to seek the logical flow (like before and after), connecting dots and the big picture. Don’t be like libs who only know what they are told to think: no way of judging truth from falsehood for themselves, always parroting the “authority” mistaking it as knowledge. Even when correct, a parrot can be trained to recite the most deepest truths and its brain remains to be a void of any knowledge.

Alternative is to be clueless because you accept to be trained to only see in a vacuum. It’s literally being a blind man feeling an elephant. Too many classics to list. DPRK had a famine in the 90’s therefore it is an inferior system that starves the people. Where’s that inferiority in the forty years prior? Maoist communism is the biggest killer ever seen because millions died in one Chinese famine, just ignore the 20 famines during capitalism and the biggest leap in life expectancy in human history afterwards. Censor or stay willful ignorant of the 50 overwhelmingly successful stories of Chinese lockdown over the 2 year pandemic and only report the Shanghai disaster and boom 100% disaster rate for your sample, and ignore all the reasons behind it, and all western cities that did worse while you are at it. Censor the killing in Eastern Ukraine for the last 8 years and start reporting the moment Russia begins killing and boom Russia is the aggressor. This is how clownish you are otherwise.

3. Draw comparisons (be it patterns in similarities or contrasts) from modern times or history to enhance understanding. Shocker: looking at actual reality is a great reference to understanding reality. Don’t be like libs who prioritize imaginary make-believe over reality. One can have some idealism in life in absence of, or even despite current material reality (in fact this can be key), but that’s a huge difference from living in constant delusion prioritizing idealism over reality.

Famine in DPRK in the 90’s is horrible. What if you actually applied capitalism and democracy to it like some claim that should be done? Imagine if the UK was globally embargoed as France and America did wargames on its shores. Oil and foreign currency runs completely dry due to sanctions. How can the election and stock market save the economy? Oh it’s almost as if it’s the sanctions that starved, the lack of oil that made machines not run, not ideology and words the government uses in speeches, and you don’t magically make tractors work and food production grow by yelling about capitalism either.

4. Don’t be afraid of criticizing and disagreeing, but you need reasons and alternatives. Disagreeing because you don’t like it is simply a tantrum. Disagreeing with good reasons is only half the way if you can’t offer any alternative. If you criticize something, but your “fix” will have worst the results overall, then somebody else’s flawed plans is just literally better than your even more flawed plans.

You can think the DPRK government is dumb for this policy and that. If you can’t even conceive any alternative that’s better then he literally is giving the least worst option, aka the best possible one. How much do you understand the situation, why things happen and what effects for the issue at hand but also affects on completely unintended topics? Whenever someone claim to have a perfect 2-step solution to a grand problem in 30 seconds, they are probably completely clueless and infantile.
