like "no one in the dprk is allowed to use red lipstick because red is the color of capitalism" kinda stuff
Almost any story about any story about an official that has been executed only to reappear a week or two after the story is put out there.
Necromancy is officially sanctioned in the DPRK :kim-peace:
"Haha those kooky North Koreans call their past presidents eternal leaders"
"Lets promote George Washington to SIX star general for the US bicentennial uwu"
there was a video on tiktok of a popular kpop group performing in DPRK (i think they even met kju?) and so many in the comments were like “the audience isnt reacting because if they react they get killed or shot.”
also its kpop so hyper sexualized capitalist weird shit, and the audience is a bunch of old people. Put any crowd of boomers in front of that and get a similar reaction.
damn kpop stans really are the vanguard of the revolution
One of the famous ones is the “officially approved haircuts” idea. The story is based on pictures of barbershops in the DPRK that have pictures of various haircuts on the wall. Y’know, the few state approved haircuts that everyone has to have.
Except... every barber in the world has photos on the wall of different hair styles for people to choose from lol. It’s so ridiculous if you even think about it for ten seconds.
Fuck imagine the stress if barber shops didn't have something you could point to. Hellscape.
just last year the western media reported kim jong un's death as fact because he hadn't appeared in public for like 3 days
My hit rate is >99% but I'm usually just early. I'd say 100% but I'm no longer convinced Kissinger isn't a lich
This is the documentary about the north korean haircuts

Also, wtf based ReviewBrah in the comments?
Kind of shocked the guys from I Did A Thing could make something this good and based
i'm trying to put together a little collection to post somewhere and so far i have:
- the haircut thing
- kamikaze dolphins
- the unicorn lair
- the video yeonmi park park recently uploaded (is kim jong-un gay?)
- juche necromancy
The story I heard was Kim shot slightly over par, and this was mistranslated to 38 under par 34.
He chuckled but said nothing, puffing on an unfiltered cigarette. What about the record-shattering score and those unforgettable five holes in one? This time, to my surprise, he answered. Kim, the manager said, was, of course, a staggering golf talent, possessed of an enchantingly rhythmic swing. But even for a player of his abilities, five aces in one round were out of reach. How that stat had entered into the official record was pretty simple, the manager said: The scorekeeper tracking Kim’s round that day had relied on a relative-to-par system, marking down 0 for pars, 1 for bogeys and 2 for double-bogeys.

tankies say that north korea is good but north korea leader man plays golf, the sport that is dumb and bad and capitalist.
curious :thonk:
setting aside everything else, golf is pretty trash though from a left pov. i love the george carlin bit about how its the biggest waste of space. big property, limitless potential, all tied up in a little tiny hole and a little tiny ball for the wealthy. He really puts it in perspective when he says we could have 3 tiny states worth of land for the homeless if we just seize every golf course for government housing
Ya. It makes sense. The author is just some golf douche, so I don't know how much to trust it.
They got golf in the DPRK?
Damn, just when you think you start to know a guy, they go and do shit like this...
Not quite as outlandish as no food or haircuts or whatever but here's australias wool industry identifying DPRK as a 'key target market' even though we can't trade with them.
Also DPRK bad, but Myanmar fine.

All the Potemkin Village mutations, like the "Fake Village" that has fake lights, fake apartments, a fake school, and fake farms (I assume worked by fake farmers), or the Fake Skyscrapers, where no one can live in the upper floors because the elevators, electricity, and water doesn't work, except for the fake exterior lights and solar panels.
Apparently, according to some youtuber who definitely picked this up from the MSM North Korean propaganda claims that the supreme leader doesn't defecate.
I remember a comment on a Moranbong Band video saying the laser show actually checks who isn't clapping right and executes them. I'm pretty sure it was meant as a joke, but then the replies were all "wtf that's so scary" and didn't question it in the slightest lmao. This is what yanks actually believe
