Lmfao. Least obviously biased propaganda piece against the DPRK AND most trustworthy BBC reporting.
“South Korean movies are smuggled over the border to show how rich and free south Korea is”
What even is the part where you can’t type “older brother” because it automatically changes it and tells you the right context to use it…even when the “wrong” context isn’t present. (And really this would be based if true anyway because…gross?)
Edit: maybe provide some explanation for why this “reporting” is trustworthy and relevant instead of a propaganda piece.
It’s literally just a woman making claims holding a prop. There’s no further evidence.
I’m surprised they don’t claim they’re smuggling footage of a chaebol heiress assaulting a flight crew to inspire their inner Asian submissiveness or something,
I’d tell you about the many people I know who went and loved it but then you’d say “oh, on a guided tour full of actors?”, and then I’d debunk that laughably orwell-brained idiocy, and then another cliche and another and another until you forgot about the first dumb fuckin thing you said (probably by the second comment) and we’d be back at square one.
I stg the bbc and nyt could run the beheaded babies story on a loop and as long as they changed the nation/ethnicity you’re allowed to be racist against every few months they could keep dumb fucking libs entertained for decades.
Considering that the bbc is not a very trustworthy media outlet, I view them reporting this with the same incredulity of all the maga cried going on about Hunter Bidens laptop.
Not to say I don’t think PRNK isn’t an authoritarian regime but all the things they claim about that phone are the kind of malware that Western agencies use all the time.
Not really. After second Khrushchevite coup Kim Il Sung purged both Soviet and Chinese factions in WPK so they were politically entirely sovereign, but they never went into conflict with neither USSR nor China. They also moved in opposite direction economically and diplomatically, instead of adopting market reforms and opening to the west, they followed self-reliance policies, mostly out of necessity of being basically sieged by USA and their cronies the entire time.
And in retrospect, considering Yugoslavia was broken among untold suffering and DPRK not, it was a right move.
Good point, why the hell am I on a .ml community. My bad, sorry. Thought I had unsubscribed from all of them. Back to denying the Tienamen Square Massacre with you.
More like someone who lives in a country that survived communism and the oppression that it brings and who would never go back. Why don’t you guys move to China or North Korea (or inexplicably Russia which you also brigade for). Try living in the utopias you brigade for?
Ah we have reached the inevitable end of a .ml thread. Thanks for capping it off. You can tell me how NATO started the Ukraine war too if you really want to finish off.
Yeah, I was subject to the same heavy propaganda you were, only difference is that I was mindful enough of it to not let it get me to the point of saying absurd nonsense like what you said.
Also, you can’t really do the whole “I know I’m also not immune to propaganda” thing when you were just mindlessly regurgitating it to explicitly defend the British state propaganda network.
That’s literally not whataboutism - whataboutism is when you use irrelevant topics to incorrectly prove a point. The poster literally said it was a litmus test, which means mentioning multiple things as they did is correct and is not whataboutism, especially since their argument is about propaganda.
Nice big urban square, lined with beautiful historical buildings.
What do you think of the Uyghurs?
You don’t meet them too often, but the ones I met were nice people.
Did the URSS create famines?
Famines in the USSR were caused by a multitude of factors - drought and (civil) war being the most prominent. The war was brought to the USSR by outside forces - the whites where financed by the UK and the US, WWII was brought to the USSR by Germany. So famine in the USSR was created by western forces more than anything.
After 1947 there were no known famines. Since famines were a regular occurrence before we can conclude that the Soviets effectively ended famines in their territory by then.

You should pop on over to North Korea and tell us how great it is there.

No. My uncle has.
@[email protected] pulled out his actual visit as a trump card

the burden of proof is on the chud making the accusations

Interesting use of the word “he” around 0:32
It’s weird the way they always talk about the state as though it was exactly one person.
Sounds like freudian slip by Caligula.
I stg the bbc and nyt could run the beheaded babies story on a loop and as long as they changed the nation/ethnicity you’re allowed to be racist against every few months they could keep dumb fucking libs entertained for decades.
That’s basically what they have done

reddit libs and having a single sassy quip in place of any actual knowledge of any single topic, name a more iconic duo.

What exactly do you think “brigade” means?
CBS must be tankie, too, then: There Was No “Tiananmen Square Massacre”.
Previously.
Ah we have reached the inevitable end of a .ml thread. Thanks for capping it off. You can tell me how NATO started the Ukraine war too if you really want to finish off.
Whataboutism
Please cite from my comment history where I denied the Tiananmen Square Massacre and then maybe you’ll have a leg to stand on.
All I’ve done is point out that if someone dives into a pool and gets wet, the pool didn’t have a leak.
I think it’s absolutely hilarious you removed that comment.
I haven’t removed any comment?
If you’re referencing the original poster of the comment I replied to then you should note I’m not a mod here?
Don’t worry they will all be deleted soon, this is an authoritarian community without freedom of expression.
Tiananmen*
oh look lobotom.ee leaking again
Thank you UK state media, very cool! 🙄 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMSrx5po6/
The irony of poking fun of UK state media, while posting a link to a website controlled by Chinese state media.
Jesus, westerners really are the most propagandised people on Earth
Yes we are but don’t act like your shit doesn’t stink too. We’re all victims of heavy propaganda.
Yeah, I was subject to the same heavy propaganda you were, only difference is that I was mindful enough of it to not let it get me to the point of saying absurd nonsense like what you said.

Hey, not to be this guy but please don’t forget Rule 1.
Edit: Ahh wait I thought it was a .ml community, in which case rule 1 is be nice.
Okay lets do the litmus test:
What do you think of tianmen square?
What do you think of the Uyghurs?
Did the URSS create famines?
Edit: i sure riled up a bunch of tankies 😂

Parroting state propaganda doesn’t make you immune to propaganda lmao
That’s definitely the most sinister thing about propaganda, that everyone things they’re unaffected by it.
