Original story by Chosun Ilbo :check mark button:
Sourced to single anonymous defector :check mark button:
Bullshit so ludicrous that any half-way legitimate reporter can't even be bothered to disprove it :check mark button:
Its Monday boys, time to manufacture another North Korea story for the stupid Westerners. :smiling face with sunglasses:
this is what I don't understand about these Korean/Chinese/Taiwanese/HK rightwing propaganda outlets that spread racist stereotypes against Asians for their Western audience, they are either oblivious to the racist attitudes against Asians or they live a bubble existence in their gated communities and have their servants do the shopping so they never have to experience real life racism.
I think its more a case of right wing South Koreans being racist to North Koreans and then Western media picking up on the story becuase it fits a racist portrayal of Asian people in the West.
Like Chosun Ilbo publishes these stories once a week, they are all absurd and most traffic in some kind of South Korean stereotype about North Koreans, but the only stories that eventually get picked up in the West are the ones which play on broader Asian stereotypes understandable to more Westerners. For example, some racist screed about North Korean workers stealing stuff at the Kaesang Joint Industrial project might circulate in South Korea but would be unintelligible to people in the US due to the specific subject matter and becuase racist South Korean stereotypes about the North don't line up with American stereotypes.
When will tankie come to their senses and condemn this evil man who once cruelly killed all his generals and relatives by feeding them to piranas, then used his power over the dark art of Juche Necronism to ressurect them so he could kill them again with anti-aircraft guns.
Imagine how easy the job of a person reporting about North Korea must be. Just search the internet for racist jokes and report them as news, spend the rest of the month jerking off.
yes, i will unquestioningly believe anything about the DPRK from a media apparatus that has reported their current head of state's death no fewer than three seperate times
i am the height of liberalism
I saw them kissing and making babies and then a baby fell out and it looked at me.
North Korean dictator Kim Kong-un has ordered
This is a parody article, right?
Not making shit up and playing into racist tropes, nope not at all. Western media is a fuck.
So this is the story they cite as the source:
http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2020/08/12/2020081200634.html
Sadly, my Hangeul isn't very good, so I can't verify it's on the Korean site as well, but let's assume it is, and it's a close enough translation of the same.
According to a source, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un issued a ban on pet ownership in July, denouncing it as "a 'tainted' trend by bourgeois ideology." (Emphasis mine)
This is it. This is the entire article's foundation for factual accuracy. In the very final sentence, it then states:
One defector said these clampdowns are usually enforced without great enthusiasm but seem to be more severe this time.
As we all know North Korean defectors are well known for having stories that hold up very well
I love how it's just blustering and shouting to no apparent end. US empire is either just shouting into the wind to make them feel good about themselves, or workshopping different stories to manufacture consent for their next Vietnam that they DESPERATELY need right now. But I'm like 90% sure that it's the former.
what the fuck even is this site lmao, does it even pretend to offer any sort of real world information or is it just all nonsense
