I have to believe that the fathers in North Korea love their children every bit as much as American fathers do.

You were lucky to have that moment with your father and see directly that he does love you and did miss you.

[@daisuke910]

If it is like any other Asian culture, they probably didnt show direct affection, but rather indirectly. Usually in Asian culture, the relationship is not just with the immediate family but with the big family and it lasted until even the kids are older. For European, they only keep tabs with close family. When they are older, the relationship would be limited to those who are related in their life only. They dont really keep tabs with cousins etc. Culturally different upbringing

[@aauwhatitdo1582]

@@daisuke910 It is similar to Native American culture. You are often very close to everyone related to you, even second cousins. Asian culture often has the parent be a parent, while western culture often has the parent as a friend. I believe that a North Korean parent loves their kids as much as an American parent, but between the extremely low quality of life and oppression, the parents are often extremely unhappy, and combine that with a more parent less friend role, it would seem to any western people to be as if they don't love the kid.

And it is not uncommon for men who spend time with kids (even their own) to be suspected or even falsely accused of pedophilia and predatory behavior. Reality check.

[@garretisla5282]

As a man, and a father, nothing is embarrassing enough to not do for my daughter. Nothing. She is what I live for, and I would die in pain and agony a thousand times, if it meant safeguarding her. What is embarrassment, compared to a child's love? Nothing. What is looking foolish, compared to hearing your child's laughter, hearing the joy that they feel at seeing you fulfill their whims and dreams? No offense, but it is entirely by design that this goes on in North Korea. The government does not want you to have ties to your family, so the government can take over the role of your family. Become your provider, your teacher, your role model. That is why they do those things, why they tell men to not love their own children, so they won't love their own in return. They destroy the family unit, so they can fill the void. In what world is it healthy for a man, or a woman, to not think that their kids are the most important thing in the world? That is, after all, the reason why we are here. To reproduce, to continue the species, and the way you do it is through successful rearing of children. And guess what? Even a dog, or a cat, or a pig, or a rat would defend it's kids, protect them, and teach them how to be successful in life. All it takes to know this, is to observe the world around you, and be inspired. If you can watch a male rat defend his babies from harm, or a dog defend its mate from being beaten, then why wouldn't you see that that is the normal way of things? That if an animal can do this, why can't I?

I think the best model is something between capitalism and communism. Where everyone has access to the essentials, but hard work and industry can still get you ahead.

[@Souledex]

​@@JorgensZelda "inevitably" "Someone" yeah, the first problem was thinking communism was a form of government at all. It's not, and the only people who ever claimed to be were very obvious puppet dictators, just like the ones the US likes. Authoritarian Socialism, or a Vanguard State is a thing they have claimed to be and with plenty of insane faults and starts the early soviet union modernized faster than any other nation in history. But with Stalin the goods can't be good for long. Obviously China is the counter point there, but they've not been about their roots since the 90's at all, hardly even Communist in name at this point. Just nobody's left to call them out on it. Idk what my point is now. I guess mostly that milquetoast takes that make people think they understand the conversation are often the least helpful way to forward a dialogue and reify people's preconceived beliefs many of which are founded in very little investigation of a topic like that. I mean "a mix of communism and capitalism" describes literally every government that has existed since 1920, just toss in a couple monarchies too. And describing them as communist and communism as bad just breaks the benefit of the discussion before it starts ( yes this includes saying anyone who tries it was duped and that's all it is). It either plays in to their propaganda or plays like a broken record from the same uninformed place as usual. The simplest pitch for issues today in my mind is we have about 25 years to figure out what happens when half of the jobs disappear. Given how the pandemic went, as everyone got fired executives skyrocketed, the housing market is increasingly actively fucked with and billionaires use PR and dickwaving or actual crazy virtue signalling to try and win government contracts. Amazon and Uber have every intent to burn the present as fuel (including all the workers they know they won't need in 5 years) to buy as big a slice of the future as possible when the next automation revolution fully sets in. "the market will adjust" maybe in a generation, like most of the truly insane shifts of the 1800's. "but global warming" just makes everything worse and more pressing. If we don't have the political capacity, public will or information resistance to begin addressing these problems we either will completely destabilize the global economy in a system shock storm (unlike covid we can't get lucky forever), or the elite have all the time they need to cement power however they want. Work already has basically no correlation with financial success in America, if you don't you are fucked, but a few unlucky breaks then you are the same amount of fucked. The worst thing is the elites believe it, and so does 40% of the country regardless of information. Obviously that'll be the root cause of a lot of issues. Idk If anyone here is an American or from a country with our same dumb 250 year old beta test of democracy, but if you are please watch a video on Multiple Member Proportional representation elections. An insane hail mary multi-ideological coalition for an amendment (or just radical restructuring of state guidelines) seems unlikely but it's happened with much harder pills to swallow before. It's the only thing that solves gerrymandering radicalization, a dumb problem with some clear tested solutions on the table since 1793.

Even in Western countries, some men are more like the "olden days." Once women started working out of the house, things had to change and women demanded it. Women still often do too much, but it it has changed a lot in the last 50 years. Anytime a man takes about "babysitting" their kids there is often someone who says that it isn't babysitting, it is called parenting.

Well you got what you wanted. We used to be able to support a household with one income. Now women are sooo free slaving over a 9-5 and two incomes aren’t worth what just one used to be. Because some career which holds no real significance is more important than your children. Now you have to pawn off your kids with a government institution called the education system. And so now there’s a middle man and kids aren’t being raised by their parents anymore. Because somebody has to watch them but noooo it’s so oppressive when mothers raise their kids. It’s definitely less oppressive when some random third party does! And so you got what you wanted. The government has been moving progressively left since the 1910s, your utopia is a reality, and if you don’t like the outcome then ask yourself what’s so appealing about continuing down this road. Is life better this way? Do you think the family unit is stronger? Do you believe people are happier? Or when can we stop with all this regressive leftist nonsense and get back to the nuclear family? I’m so sick of hearing women complain about men when they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. Trust me, we’re not too happy with you either.

Being a parent is the biggest blessing in life. They also remind us to enjoy what we can, even when there isn't much. The only things that matter is that we are together.

I am so happy you had that wonderful memory of seeing your father again after being apart. I did not see my father at times for 18 months at a time as he was in the military and got wounded in battle. He was hurt badly and had to recuperate before he came back home. He went away every 3 years sometimes 2. It was always so hard to have him gone. This was before internet and cell phones. We wrote letters and it would be weeks before we would hear from him. Bless you, for appreciating our US fathers. My father has passed on but I have good memories of his being silly and laughing and making sure we were fed and clothed. We did not have a lot as there were 5 of us but we had enough.

[@damnedtolive9121]

I'm an American. Hearing a surprised reaction to the way the men in this video acted towards their children, that has seriously impacted me. The way these men responded to their children seems normal and healthy to me. It also makes me think about the countless women in the US who leave men like this because the men are "betas". I never plan on getting married or having more children, because if I did and it failed, for a second time, I dont think I could survive. I think I cold love again with a woman who values men being good fathers, like the saint in this video. The whole situation makes me sad.

It can go too far the other way though. Your meant to be a parent, not a friend. Otherwise you get entitled kids who don’t know the realities of the real world when they become adults. Most of these seem to be babies though which is obviously fine

[@samiraansari5686]

Sorry, but this is bs in my opinion. Kids learn their „realities“ soon enough, as soon as they interact with the outside world. And in order to face them, they need a loving home to go back to and parents that they can rely on. The idea that you have to keep a distance from your kids, or not play with them or be overly strict to show them „reality“ is so dumb. They will learn what reality is, but with this behavior you‘re withholding the support they need to be able to navigate the world. Being silly and playing with your kid will not make it entitled, as long as you don‘t act entitled, because kids mirror the adults around them. You can really see that when you work in a school- the kids who throw the most fits and are ill-mannered are not necessarily the most spoiled kids. But they are usually the kids of parents who also come in making unreasonable demands and resorting to yelling and threats if they don‘t get their way. If you are a good example for your kid, it‘ll probably turn out fine.
