Me, handing a USB containing "Boss Baby" to a terrified DPRK woman: "I know, I know, they'll execute you if they see this, but trust me, it'll change your life. Come and find me soon, there's more where this came from ;)"
North Korean guy who has only seen Boss Baby, watching a Kim Jong Un speech: getting a lot of ‘Boss Baby’ vibes from this...
Me handing a USB containing the Winter Soldier investigation to every DPRK citizen and soldier: "If you still defect I'll shoot you myself"
because these people have achieved the Culture Victory in civ 5 too many times and its rotted their brains
Our people are wearing your blue jeans,,,,
Are you telling me F9 isn't a cultural and technical masterpiece that transcends culture?
What about the Super Mario Brothers movie?
Imagine being in the DPRK and finding a thumbdrive and hoping it's the last season of breaking bad but no it's just another one full of PragerU videos.
Titanic, the movie about how the wretched of the earth have more humanity than the capitalists?
although the movie does leave out the fact that the lower class passengers were barricaded in the lower levels while they evacuated the upper class patrons
Does it? I could've sworn I remembered a scene where Leo gets trapped in the flooding lower levels with a bunch of other steerage passengers by some asshole locking a gate, though it has been like two decades since I saw Titanic.
oh maybe they just made less of a deal of it than other films about the titanic have
I really just remember like, one asshole doing it to leo, I don't remember a crowd of people getting locked in
There is a scene where the poorer passengers get locked into the lower levels, yes. Leo doesn't suffer from this because he's constantly hanging out with the rich ppl, but he is arrested a cuffed to a radiator after being accused of stealing by the girl's jealous fiance.
This is like that thing where christian evangelicals in the us got obsessed with dropping pamphlets into Cuba, only somehow even dumber and more deranged. Like, at least many Cubans are actually Catholic, the fuck kind of revolution is going to happen because they got to watch a young Leo DiCaprio plow Kate Winslet in a car below deck of the Titanic, a ship that sank because of capitalist greed more than anything else.
Converting the people in a communist country by showing them a film where the poor people are locked below decks in a sinking ship and forced to die because there are only enough life boats for rich people (which they don't even fill properly).
On the other hand you look at how successful Christian missionaries managed to convert people in Africa. Yes you are right believe the story told by the white male about the old white male with a beard living in the sky that promises you'll live in heaven and eternity if only you follow exactly what this book written by the most racist institution on the planet ever, I don't even think there is any rational explanation how one squares being a third world Christian with colonialism and slavery and yet.
It is sad and unfortunate but also very obvious why it works, material conditions, indoctrination, history etc.
that old lady taught yeonmi park that you can just make stuff up
Me, watching a TV show from another country: "Damn, they make television over there too? Guess I'll defect."
i believe none of this anymore. i'm open to explainations of the truth from a reputable source.
Check out We Went to North Korea to Get a Haircut by our precious Boy Boys and My Brothers and Sisters to the North which is about a South Korean woman with dual German citizenship who then uses that German citizenship to go to the DPRK and does a fascinating documentary of the various ways people live in the DPRK.
my phone is messing up, gonna post the comment and find the link to the doc. Brb. Edit: okay, link added.👍
I have a nephew who’s into Rogan (I’m working on it) but he’d seen the Boy Boy minidoc and said he’d read about how a lot of what we hear about North Korea is US propaganda. Now that is some top tier agitprop
Oof, good luck, try and get him to check out the other vids. Being into Rogan doesn't quite cement the fash pipeline, but it's iffy. You may want to try introducing him to Yellow Parenti, I don't normally recommend Parenti for Libs because he's so pro-ussr, but if your nephew understands there's something wrong... maybe there's hope.
This is a good quick intro to Manufacturing Consent OH! and of coures, try giving him a few Citations Needed Episodes without telling him they're leftist.
In addition to what @JoeByeThen said, check out the Proles of the Round Table podcast where they interview a Taiwanese rapper who's taken a couple trips to the DPRK.

i think i saw this a year or so ago but never finished it. i didn't save it and couldn't remember the name ty
"Sir, demand for flash drives is tanking, everyone just transfers data over the network. What can we do to save our company?"
:cap-think:
Remember this from a few years ago, I was watching the Unicorn Riot youtube channel and they were interviewing a person from one of their booths (flashdrives for the DPRK) at a tech-"activist" fair. It's a project by big money "NGO" Human Rights Foundation which targets the usual US targets (China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, DPRK etc...).
Very cool spending 10 minutes posting against these morons only to realize that my new reddit account, which worked on the onepunchman subreddit, is now shadow banned because none of these morons are responding and yup sure enough my comments don't show up
How is anybody supposed to use reddit at this point, like, how do they get new users if literally everybody gets shadow banned
They get new users cause all of the West is brainwashed to a terminal degree, so they can easily ban people who don't subscribe to their world view
Just a reminder, spez is a fucking nazi and deserves what they all deserve
But all this shadow ban shit is automatic and seemingly unrelated to the actual content of my comments so i literally don't know how new users are expected to post ever without tripping it up
It’s become a facsimile representation of a real forum. Discussion is guided and/or astroturfed to such a degree that there’s very little in the way of real discussion or debate, but it gives the appearance these are real people freely discussing topics in a way that most people would expect. This is also similar to how elections are portrayed as real, but are for the most part just a facsimile of elections where voters can freely choose.
In both cases the facsimile is breaking down and more people are becoming aware that this world was created to control them and isn’t actually real.

Your lib friend who's Really Into Foreign Policy sees no contradiction here. Truly wonderful the mind of a lanyard is.
Going to the single communal windows 95 PC in my dirt village to watch 15 seconds of Transformers 2 in 240p before I am discovered and sentenced to death by anti-aircraft gun.
My last words are: "You may kill a man, but you'll never kill American soft power." One of the guards does the Wakanda salute. He is later fed to wild dogs.
I die with a smile on my face, knowing my remains will be repatriated to my family so they can have the first meal of their lives.
watch 15 seconds of Transformers 2 in 240p before I am discovered and sentenced to death by anti-aircraft gun
an act of mercy preventing someone from watching more of transformers 2
I don't remember Windows 95 supporting USB. I think I only 98 did in SE. Maybe that's just USB storage.
Not like trying to undermine your bit or anything; it just got me thinking.
A team of 5600 north Korean Computer Scientists have been working tirelessly for a decade to implement USB functionality into every Win95 terminal in the country. Half died from stress.
