This one was supposed to come out tomorrow because I already published an essay Sunday, but I must have messed up somewhere. Anyway since we’re talking about Korea a lot with the hostilities ramping up around the DMZ I think it’s very timely that you get to read this piece ASAP!
Are hostilities really ramping up, or is DPRK hunkering down more and disengaging?
Dialectically if someone is being hostile the other responds and hostilities still move up :P
Also it’s funny to see your pfp in the wild, I was just talking about these paintings yesterday!
I understand, my point is more that the DPRK went from “2 systems, 1 state” to “2 states,” unless I’m missing something. That doesn’t seem like an escalation, but an abandonment of reconcilliation, hence me trying to learn more.
And yea, love these paintings! Looks a lot like my childhood puppy, and is calming to look at.
