Counterpoint: Greenland, Antarctic, Easter Island, … all got at least 1 detected case.

which I can’t confirm if they are, tbf

Then I’d genuinely be curious to know more about this. You mean that they’re telling us they do not have any case while they secretly update their population on the actual situation? Because as I said above, for me it was obvious that it was not a communication meant for the rest of the world, but then that it logically had to be internal propaganda.

For the rest (taking proper steps), I’m not saying anything. Just talking about the number of cases and communication here.

EDIT:

Unless they report that their entire country is crumbling under the pandemic, it’s going to get twisted into propoganda anyway.

Wrong: even it that case it would btw.

yes

:kombucha-disgust:

Yeah, I agree with all of that. They indeed do not expect any one in the west to believe them, or to care about it. They indeed probably do not have that many cases. But, precisely, if it does not matter, then why not say the actual number? Or even just not say anything? So I have to deduce that it’s meant as a message for the population? It does not say anything about how well or bad they handle the actual cases. But come on it just unironically make them look like something directly taken from a communism-is-when-propaganda Orwell book.

Now I don’t really want to start a DPRK struggle session but I feel like I have to: 0 cases?

Come on.

0 cases?

And when I say “literally”, I don’t mean “metaphorically” or “symbolically”. I mean literally.

About Hypernormalization:

In The Guardian, reviewer Charlie Lyne writes, “[this] 165-minute opus makes a feature of its sheer unwieldiness, as Curtis veers from social history to conspiracy theory via the odd rambling bar-room anecdote, like a man who’s two-dozen browser tabs into a major Wikipedia binge”

Well now it’s the same thing except the Wikipedia binge is 8 hours. And it’s good.
