    its pretty bizarre that they think everything is just a show for whitey

    like ostensibly even if they were actors its still a fun thing to 'act'

    how do you become an actor even? do you need to go to college to get a 'fooling whitey' degree?

      Liberals believe they built a fake subway in Pyongyang that's ridden by people pretending to go to jobs. That's a lot of people doing fake jobs who could just be doing... regular jobs.

          After the train leaves the terminal, it is disassembled and rebuilt on the other side of the tunnel (with different signage) to simulate another train entering the terminal.

            Not sure if you're referencing this, but one grifter in Joe Rogan's podcast literally said trains in the DPRK take a month to move from city to city because people have to push them (?) until they die of exhaustion (??) so there are piles of bodies on train stations (?????) and this is why the people there do not know the word for compassion and can't grasp the concept of feeling bad for humans dying (????? ??????????? ??????????)

              she also said they only have one train stop. you can go on youtube right now and watch video footage of multiple train stops in nk.

        To be fair lot of those liberals in the west do actually do fake jobs. So they have some expertise in the area.

        Amazing how the DPRK has enough resources to put on a show that would put Disneyland to shame, that makes much more sense than "everything is really just kinda normal there". For sure. 90% of the DPRK's GDP is spent towards fooling the white folks...

        Today's show is going to be another one for the ages. My character is going to go to the grocery store set and bag groceries -- these props are real food! -- from 9-5. Other actors in my troupe will pretend to buy them -- with real money, to maintain the verisimilitude! -- in exciting crossovers with shows like "coming home from pretending to work at a department store." I even get to do a crossover with the guy pretending to drive the bus later!

          My character goes to work every day pretending like he don’t want to kill his boss, goes to the grocery store pretending like He’s happy to overpay for food, hands over rent pretending like he doesn’t want to kill his landlord, and pretending like he’s perfectly ok living in an apartheid police state without being absolutely disgusted by it and wanting to utterly destroy it and every pig that enforces it.

          Good thing I’m just an actor paid to act that way.

          All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms; And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lin’d, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

        The DPRK economy is so strong only 10% of the population actually works and the rest of the population pretend works to not make the rest of the world jealous.

        The DPRK essentially has this already if even 1% of those "North Korean hackers steal $1 billion in cryptocurrency" articles are true.
