    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_coverage_of_North_Korea

    Media in North Korea are under some of the strictest government control in the world. […]

    The North Korean government places stringent restrictions on foreign reporters, visitors, and even residents of foreign origin. Freedom of movement is severely curtailed, interactions with local people are supervised, and photography is heavily regulated. Because of this reporters often find it difficult to check stories and establish hard facts. North Korean and Western journalists have different understandings about the role of the media. (The situation is different for Russian and Chinese journalists reporting on North Korea). North Koreans expect Western journalists to behave like Soviet journalists during the Cold War, while Western journalists would like to exert the freedom of the press more widely. Researching topics like prison camps are out of bounds, and North Korean officials are often reluctant to give statements on the record. As with tourists, foreign journalists are always accompanied by minders, and any encounters with locals have been arranged.

      “Those duplicitous evil Asians are not trusting and forthcoming with the representatives of the empire that tried to exterminate them in living memory and still has them under siege how dare they”

      Wikipedia really is a website.

    I can reliably confirm that Kim Jong Un executed himself with an anti-aircraft gun in a stadium. The anti-aircraft gun was then executed by a second anti-aircraft gun for disrespecting Kim Jong Un. The stadium was executed by a ring of anti-aircraft guns, along with the anti-aircraft gun that executed the anti-aircraft gun, for attending a gathering where Kim Jong Un was disrespected. This happens every day and yet tankies will defend it.

      There is quite a lot of good news, but you will never see it if you only get your news from imperial core sources, because the imperial core works to manufacture your consent for regime change.

    In North Korea the government makes phone calls to ask if refrigerator is running, but refrigerator is empty with no food and phone is made of string and tin can and the tin can is also empty with no food, so you eat the string.

        This is Yeonmi Park, a “celebrity defector” from the DPRK who has since worked with the Rogan sphere and the Daily Wire bunch, showing up to make insane and easily debunked claims about people in northern Korea like “They have to push the trains by hand” and “In north Korea they have no word for love.” I’m not making those up to be funny, she said that.

        So anyway, this image of her on Rogan became a running joke anytime someone says something insane about a socialist country, and then it evolved. Now people also post it whenever news comes out of America that’s so ridiculous and evil it sounds like the kind of thing that America would make up about a socialist country. It’s a very versatile meme
