    This nicely spells out the underlying assumption of much conservative commentary: South Koreans are too dumb to understand nature of North Korean regime. https://twitter.com/ElliottRHams/status/962747069923495936 …

        Or maybe they just don’t want to be incinerated because of a big mouth blowhard.

        It's all rather telling when you add the recent NBC-Korea-Japan incident. It's really confirming the rest of the world's belief about the stereotypical loud American who doesn't understanding anything outside America.

        reminds me of conservative assumptions about african-americans "brainwashed by Democrats" aka too stupid to know what's best for themselves. or Romney's comments on palestinian's inferior "culture"

        Much conservative commentary is based on the idea that those directly impacted by issues (e.g., terrorism, immigration, and crime in big cities) don’t know what’s good for them.

        It’s the opposite of Identity Politics. They are of the firm belief that only those who are not impacted by an issue have the objectivity to correctly assess the situation. They then come up with a solution that, by coincidence, benefits themselves.

        I think in general Americans lack a Theory of Mind when it comes to International relations. Anything that doesn't align with US interests is treated as irrational.
