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!
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.
