"Trafficking in Persons Report" of United States under Fire
Pyongyang, October 2 (KCNA) -- Ri Jin, researcher of the Korea Association for Human Rights Studies, Thursday issued the following article titled "'Trafficking in Persons Report' highlights only the incurable maladies of the United States":
Recently, the U.S. Department of State released again a "report" that willfully assesses and classifies the practices of "human trafficking" in the DPRK and all other countries of the world.
The "report", as in the past, repeated its slander against the sovereign states, citing the data of "human trafficking" in other countries and labeling them as "model states" or "backward states" after grading the countries in order of the governmental efforts for eradicating "human trafficking" and their results.
Last year we had already branded the annual "Trafficking in Persons Report" of the U.S. which was run through with the obsolete fabricated data as a diagnosis of mental derangement of the U.S. addicted to the politicization of human rights.
The U.S. still tries to style itself a "human rights judge" though it is breaking the world's worst human rights record every year. It is stunning the public.
It is illogical that the U.S., where horrible shooting incidents occur at schools, churches and shops almost every day and tens of thousands of people are being taken to prisons due to the policy of expelling immigrants, assesses the situation of human rights in the world.
This is not the only thing.
It is, indeed, a tragicomedy that the U.S. government made a "judgment" upon the world situation of "human trafficking" at a time when the whole world is astonished at a U.S. millionaire's hideous underage sex trafficking.
The reality clearly proves that the U.S. "Trafficking in Persons Report" is nothing but a means for veiling its records of human rights violation and politicizing human rights to justify the pressure on different countries and interference in their internal affairs, and has nothing to do with the substantial efforts to eradicate human trafficking.
It is by no means fortuitous that not only the anti-U.S. and independent countries but also the "countries sharing their mind" with the U.S. are openly criticizing the U.S for its deceitful and contradictory gibberish about "human rights".
Today when the world aspires after multi-polarization, the DPRK and many other countries are directing efforts to promoting human rights conforming to their own history, culture and socio-economic environment.
The U.S. is well advised to clearly understand the reality and realize that the old-fashioned and inefficient behavior of a "human rights judge" is no longer appropriate, and it moves to internationalize and politicize the "human rights" issues of other countries would only result in self-harming consequences of bringing its miserable human rights situation to a focus.
We will in the future, too, not lend an ear to the U.S. deceptive "human rights" rhetoric but do our best to defend the most advantageous socialist system of our own style and the genuine rights and interests of the people. -0-

So irs a closed off super secretive surveillance state where everyone harvests rice while singing songs in praise of the Glorious Leader to go home to a meal of rats and brainwashing but it's also a hub of black market activity?
Western depictions of "scary commie heckholes" always fascinate me so much. The Western liberal minds that invented the idea of communist propaganda far more effective than any of it's ever been, because they simply couldn't comprehend that maybe people living under socialism genuinely like their economic and political system better than what it replaced and what other countries around them have. The idea that "commies are all just brainwashed!" and "these people never get any real information, just constant communist propaganda!" Oh no, how scary, the commie states filter out Western nonsense and tell the civilian population only what they actually need to know. Judging from the quality of most liberal biased "information", I probably want the communist "propaganda" version of the news, thanks.
"Noo! The commies couldn't possibly have a better system than us! They must all be starving and brainwashed! They can't possibly genuinely like socialism! If communism isn't evil, then my entire worldview falls apart!"
I wish that kind of "commie brainwashing" was real. Maybe we could use it on these idiot liberals and bring about the revolution, lol. Or just use it on ourselves to completely wreck the left's collective Overton Window (if every communist genuinely believed Stalin was at the far point of acceptable liberty and economic-right, and the true far left was a great deal further left and more authoritarian, we'd all say some crazy "extreme left" stuff all the time, that'd be really fun for some of us), that'd be neat.
The idea literally came from Korean War soldiers who got captured and re educated no longer thinking they should be invading and instead of thinking maybe the Koreans had a point and expressed it well they did MK Ultra.
Yeeppp. That was a big mess. "Do you think maybe we shouldn't be doing these anti-communist terror campaigns, as those soldiers called 'em?" "No way, fightin' the commies is totally righteous, those guys are just brainwashed, let's waste a bunch of resources and damage a ton of people to try to find out how the damn commies did it!"
(Kinda wish "re-education" actually worked the way Western anti-communist nonsense describes it. I know a few truly ghoulish neoliberals who really need that treatment.)
errm, two things can be true at once
And therefore they are
Yeah but none of the black market stuff comes home due to their strict observance of work/life balance
"The Evil Commies don't let people bring work home with them! How are teachers supposed to get all their grading done!? How are office workers supposed to pinch pens, sticky notes, and the occasional package of printer paper?"
