Can you tell me who drew up the 38th parallel? Who installed a military dictatorship in the south? Who was way more advanced post WWII? Any basic facts?

A military dictatorship? 💀 when was the last time they engaged in military action against another country?? You realize you’re saying that while sitting in the US? The biggest military force in the world 😭

And you don’t know what the US did to Korea?

Anonymous OP 1w

What do you call songgun? What about firing missiles over Japanese airspace? What about the repressive nature with which they control the basic operations of the economy? What about the fact that foreign media is explicitly banned with severe consequences and all media in the nation is state owned? If North Korea is so free and so great why do they shoot people for trying to leave? How did they get so many numerous crimes against humanity convictions?

They literally have to otherwise they’d be obliterated to smithereens or completely took over by the us if they didn’t have anything to deter western intervention? How do they control the economy that’s so repressive? By having a communist governance structure? Foreign media is not fully banned, just pro western propaganda and for good reason seeing as how it has manufactured consent for the murder of millions. They don’t shoot ppl for trying to leave.

What do you call the American tourist who took down a poster was held and tortured for years and then traded back and dies mysteriously a couple days later?

I think he was acting foolishly and disrespectfully and that his declining medical condition wasn’t intentional but likely from a contracted disease. In fact once they realized they didn’t have the proper medical equipment to take care of him they returned him to his family. It’s really sad what happened to him.

Also I can read Chinese, Russian and North Korean propaganda at any time why is that not tolerated in North Korea and is punishable with years of imprisonment and hard labor for even having Christian materials on a hard drive?

Why did his autopsy report and own fucking parents report his corpse being severely tortured with a court finding North Korea liable with the nation not formally contesting the charges even? His teeth had been re arranged his limbs systematically defigured. Why was he in a comma and died of a neurological injury. It was not a disease or even a recorded medical condition prior to him going nor could a neurological injury explain why his limbs and teeth looked that way.

It’s nearly impossible to actually get access to accurate information about Korea when American propaganda is in nearly form of media we consume. We just don’t realize it’s American propaganda. We are the most propagandized population in the world

He was sentenced to 15 years hard labor over a single poster in a single hotel. Is that reasonable? Is that a free and open society?

No full autopsy was ever performed bc he’s Jewish. Just an external autopsy.

Anonymous #3 1w

Nah it’s not reasonable, again never said they were perfect. But it was hugely disrespectful for him as an American to do that considering how his country absolutely destroyed Korea. Their current conditions are the result of American genocide and deadly sanctions. I don’t think ideally but materially. This is the material outcome of the genocidal actions the American government has committed against them

Don’t waste your time. These are just like the people who believe Ukraine deserved to be invaded, or that the Palestinians brought their genocide upon themselves.

If the north is so great why don’t they open the border with china? With Russia? Why do they need to keep their citizenry confined even from going to allied nations. Eh whatever I’m not going to convince you. You’ve drunk the cool-aid that because the USA is bad, therefore anything that’s against the USA must be good. You’re repeating the justifications for government atrocities and actually believing them.

You’re not paying attention, child. You’re not listening. You people are the same as those on the far right who make the arguments I just displayed. You defend horrific things, brutal dictators, unspeakable atrocities because your small, weak, worthless minds can only conceive of a black and white world. You only see one side or the other. You despise America and you’ll stand beside any horrifically evil person or organization who does too. You’re sick in the head, and we look down on you

Generally yes. People from privileged wealthy families can cross and there is cross-border trade. But most North Koreans are prohibited from going to china, and china generally deports any they catch.

I never said people couldn’t go into North Korea. Tourism is an important part of their fragile economy and they concentrate infrastructure projects in Pyongyang to project modernity. They don’t let the tourists go to the rural places, which isn’t as glitzy. I said North Koreans generally can’t go to china or Russia freely, not that no one can ever enter North Korea.

Like you’re rejecting a black and white narrative lol. You learned the history of North Korea and decided that means they’re perfect good guys with only good intentions instead of realizing that nuance is a thing and the world rarely has actual angels and demons. Guess what! Governments of a country with a history of outside repression can still be shitty and repressive. A bad history doesn’t make them good perfect little angels.

Okay???? So why are you spending an entire comment section trying to distract from them being an authoritarian government. I don’t see anyone arguing that the USA never did horrible crimes against North Korea. You’re arguing against people who aren’t here instead of addressing what people are saying here. That it’s a repressive government that mistreats its own citizenry.

if it keeps the south from toppling the regime, so be it. the Korean state is necessary to protect the Korean revolution, lest it be dismantled and sold off to western companies. the DPRK is a dictatorship, no one has said otherwise, but that dictatorship exists to protect their revolution from the west, and has been largely successful in doing so

Every authoritarian government and its actions have been justified to the populace using an existential threat. They always say “this is bad but it’s worth it.” What do you think Israel uses to justify its genocide? Or pol pot? Or the Turkish genocide of Armenians? Or the repressive Eritrean government? There’s alway an internal or outside threat, real or imaginary, and these actions will result in a better outcome in the end.
