1. There's this KCNA article which has awful homophobic comments

  2. This KCNA article which compares Obama to a "black monkey"

  • This article** does analysis which states that the monkey comparison was merely referring to being a "trickster" which ignores:
  1. This KCNA article which is the worst of them all. The racist comparisons are unmistakable in my opinion.

**The aforementioned analysis article has what I find to be pretty unconvincing excuses for the homophobic comments, the quote, "a disgusting old lecher" is not properly addressed.

I'm willing to hear any possible explanations. I don't know what's going on.

            Kim Il Sung was the President of the Republic, a position which no longer exists. Power has been diffused at every step. The President of the Standing Committee of the SPA is the highest democratic power and is not held by a relative of Kim Jong Un. The President of the SAC is the highest diplomatic position and is held my KJU but he doesn't have unilateral power over the SAC.

            "It's a monarchy because a family was elected by the people to a leadership role for three generations as a result of US massacres and sanctions that caused untold misery which the family gained credibility by guiding the people through". That's your argument, and it's awful. And then when someone points out that this sort of :reddit-logo: nonsense is why they left the website you get incredibly rude and snarky. How long did it take you to think of the "you first" reply? Jesus christ please just stop talking. You're acting like a child.
