    I remember CNN ran an article about how "in North Korea women are only allowed six different hair styles", and it was illustrated with a pic from a DPRK hair salon with a hairdresser standing in front of a poster with like ten different cuts, none of which the hardresser had herself.

    It's just wild how cartoonishly lazy western propaganda is.

        Oh, absolutely. And most people are just going to take a quick glance at the header and file it under "Reasons why North Korea bad". I'm sure very few people actually read this shit.

          And because they want to believe it. Choosing to believe it, despite how obviously false all the propaganda is, allows them to feel better about themselves and the countries they live in.
