The creepy part is that everyone in there is an actor and pretending to have fun. Kinda like what they did on Vice with the simulated Internet cafe— Mia Nyx 🇺🇦🇹🇼🏳️⚧️ (@fiendishMia) August 12, 2022
Americans venerate Lincoln, Washington, et al by orders of magnitude more than the Koreans do the Kims.
If you're American, just pull up a map of your town and count how many roads, schools, and parks make reference to US presidents. And for bonus points, add up all the ones that make reference to "veterans".
But yeah, the North Koreans are the brainwashed ones.
that was one of the things that first started de-programming me
news coverage or educational videos about 'totalitarian communism' would always focus on the portraits of $current_leader on the walls of classrooms and I was always like...hol up what about the pictures of reagan on the wall huh?
I like the final creepy thing is a life sized statue of OG Kim, never heard of the 'hall of presidents'?
