    I mean, “the west” is equally pissed at that description instead of using the actual country name / continent

      The West checking in. I’ve lived in the US and various European nations. While we have vastly different ideas of how to run our own countries, we’re still generally of one mind when it comes to our thoughts on North Korea, PRC, etc. So I’m ok with lumping us all into one big moniker.

        Yeah even China doesn’t like North Korea. They’re just the annoying guy you have to accept because…

        Idk, he gets on other people’s nerves more, I guess.

      Is it though? Never once saw anyone complain about that. Especially when countries in the West call themselves West.

      As someone who was born and lives in “the west”: I genuinely couldn’t give less of a shit.

      Don’t try to manufacture outrage.
