    I had mentioned, to a lib, how DPRK managed to deal with a flooding they had going on, despite all the sanctions.

    This was their response:

    I wish they’d actually care about their own more

    If they don’t bettet themselves they’ll actually stop existing or need breeding facilities

    Really makes me think I’m wasting my time trying to Deprogram, some of them. Maybe I should just get some of their wealth and use it towards building socialism. Since I don’t see them doing it themselves.

    you could make any shit up about north korea and some people would believe it

    “North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has declared himself the only person allowed to do the Macarena. A person had been found performing the dance, and has been personally thrown by the leader into a big pool filled with genetically-engineered superpiranhas.”

      I’ll always comment remembering the one time when a Brazilian guy made a youtube channel prior to the Worldcup 2014, feed it for months with videos from North Korea news and during the Worldcup made some fake videos of North Korea winning their games and winning the worldcup. Every news outlet publish that shit like “Kim Jong-Un is lying to north korean population about the worldcup”. Days later he reveal the prank and some altered their news, but some remains.

    I recently learned you cannot express support for NK in SK without a penalty/legal issues. And despite all their Western money (but because of Western influence) they’re a country of plastic, superficial, hedonistic, depressed, aimless, collectively suicidal (birth rate wise). Jeez. It’s gonna be interesting to see the eventual reunification.

    You know, that’s probably how I’m going to end up going out…banished by hot air balloon.

    And you know what? I’m think I’m OK with this. What a whimsical way to be executed.
