Somehow, folks there are not fed, yet simultaneously, there isn’t also mass unrest. Libs can’t explain that
once my dad was like “north korea, now thats one you wonder how it hasn’t just collapsed by now” and I was just like “hmm”
Wonder indeed. But not too hard though, you might arrive at some dangerous conclusions
I love living in a country where I have a high chance of being killed by a chud because they were denied service at the local Cheesecake Factory for not masking up and so shoot up a mall in protest…
Racism
Libs believe that the reason the people of not just DPRK, but also every other AES states like China, Vietnam, Cuba, etc didn’t revolt against their government is because they’re culturally servile to authority. They just lacks the skull shape to recognize ideals like “freedom” or “individualism” which is why they’re content with being under the boot.
In other words, they use idealism to fill in the glaring holes of their ideology, as have they always.
It’s because the government there is so violent against protesters. That makes it so people won’t riot over a lack of food. Even though literally modern doctrine says the exact opposite. For anyone who isn’t familiar, the reason the US government does the whole “have soldiers dance the Macarena with local teenagers” schtick is because they tried brutal suppression of rebellions and it always just creates martyrs and emboldens the resistance.
There’s no finagling your way out of food rebellions once your people have gone a couple days without food. We get real desperate real quick when we realize the alternative is starvation. The idea that this is the norm in North Korea is laughable
It’s an outgrowth of Americans’ complete lack of historical knowledge. NK obviously had really bad famines after we dropped more bombs on them during the Korean War than were dropped during the entirety of World War 2, and then they had another pretty bad famine in the 90s after their main food source the Soviet Union collapsed. These events have morphed into the pop history belief that NK has been having a nonstop famine for its entire existence.
How do they even know what koreans eat? How do they know what Kim eats? Why do they feel the need to make shit up and present it as fact?
Love the ‘shark fin soup’ for added racism :kombucha-disgust:
I think the “juche burgers” is a reference to an actual restaurant chain in North Korea. North Korea’s airline also serves a famously bad “burger” made with chicken on its planes.
The other guy’s just being racist.
How do they even know what koreans eat? How do they know what Kim eats?
mainstream media used to run stories about how :kim-jong-il: abducted a Japanese chef who had to make him sushi while being held hostage in DPRK for several decades and this r*dditor just assumes that :kim-peace: loves sushi just as much as his dad. The sharkfin soup is most likely just the usual anti-asian racism a reddit brain makes up on the fly, the reports about Kim Yong-Ils sushi hostage only described how fond he was of sea urchin sushi when they got into naming specific dishes that the chef had to prepare.
I wonder, with so many ‘hostages’ that the Kim family has kidnapped and forced to make art and food and hang out, how many of those are actually just doing kayfabe to not be labeled as traitors and defectors? Maybe some of them are just sympathetic to Cool Korea and didn’t want their family to get harassed at home.
Uhh yeah honey, I’ll be home late from work, the North Korean Dynasty has abducted me and they say I have to play Gears of War all the way through with Kim Jong Un or I’ll get fed to the helicopter dogs. Yeah. They are like, dogs with propellers that can go mach 5. Yeah, it wouldn’t be pretty. Ok I’ll see you soon, love you bye, YO KIM PASS THE CONTROLLER
When you live in a country whose first language is treats, treats are going to be the only way you understand the world.
