    The account this is putting out straight bangers (btw if you didn’t realize, it is a parody news account. The post in the tweet is effectively indistinguishable from actual RFA slop)

    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 can’t believe North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has killed thousands of people for performing the Macarena!

        how dare they steal dear leader’s dance moves! America would never do something like that, they’d just kill those around the one who steals the dance moves and charge them for crimes not illegal in the home country

      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 and collectively suicidal (birth rate wise) people. Jeez. It’s gonna be interesting to see the eventual reunification.

    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.

      or need breeding facilities

      Setting aside the weirdness of this comment, the DPRK’s birth rate is significantly ahead of ROK’s, to the point that I wouldn’t entire rule out ROK seeking reunification eventually in order to avoid demographic collapse.

    If a hot air balloon can reach low Earth orbit then why are we wasting money on rockets? Just tie those satellites and space station components to a balloon!

    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.
