The name has been almost permanently ruined. Whenever people hear of it, they always think of no food, 1984, worshipping the leader, getting your entire family arrested for not doing so, all that stuff. And if you say otherwise, they just call you a propagandist who is hiding the truth. And even if Korea’s government does anything like build a water park, people say that it is just to “fool the world into believing they are good”. Like they can’t even build an entire village without people saying that they are just building it to deceive people.
At least China is taken seriously by a lot of people.
Dear angry libs:
The only acceptable opinion for an American to express about the DPRK is contrition for the genocide their government commited there. Anything else will be met with well-deserved mockery.
Holy shit, just realized that the liberals are already here, didn’t expect it to be this fast.
You should have defended Imperial America and its Korean client state instead. Anticommunists wouldn’t have minded if you did that.
If you said that massacring millions of Koreans and pouring gasoline down their babies’ throats was okay then it’s no big deal.
If you said ‘during the cooperativization period, mass campaigns involving huge numbers of people carried out irrigation works and forest and water conversation projects’ then you need to be deported immediately or given the death penalty, depending on whatever’s less expensive.
Can’t believe that South Korea is often portrayed as this OmG wHoLeSoMe PaRaDiSe!1!1!1! when they legit have a lower birth rate than Japan, have some of the most depressed and suicidal people on the planet, some of the longest workhours, and all this on top of historically existing to be an anticommunist dictatorship.
Meanwhile, North Korea has active worker participation in society at large yet it is portrayed as this bleak dystopia and the worst place on Earth.
Working people so hard that they are driven to suicide just to own the tankies.
To the bourgeois, that’s exactly a
It’s a wonder why the working class don’t realise why they have been taught to hate it. I suppose it’s mainly because the ‘working class’ that had been taught to hate it is mostly labour aristocrats and PMC.
I’ve heard that the Japanese have a word for dying from overwork
P.S.
Dear angry libs:
Cry harder. I want to drink more of your tears.
Why are you being so mean? Do the lives of millions of entrepreneurs, Japanese patriots, American neoliberals, and other perfectly harmless anticommunists mean absolutely nothing to you?
