gunpoint juche-tears You better not watch that tv show about how living in South Korea is so terrible that it feels like a game show where the poor are murdered for sport. That will make you love South Korea.

Sometimes I wonder how libs can think the Epstein files are just Russiagate 2: electric bugaloo and chuds can think it's just more pizzagate qanon bullshit but then I remember that they both have such poor media literacy they think Squid Games is about the DPRK and not the capitalist hellhole south Korea is if you aren't rich

[–] moss_icon@hexbear.net 43 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That’s funny because a few years ago, Western media were reporting that Squid Game was extremely popular in North Korea and was being used as anti-ROK propaganda.

Ya know, just like how North Korea apparently have a schrodinger’s haircut thing going on where they execute people for both having and not having Kim Jong Un’s exact haircut.

Thesis: You must have Kim Jong Un's haircut or else face execution

Antithesis: You must not have Kim Jong Un's haircut or else face execution

Synthesis: Go bald

Baldies stay winning!

Yeah sure ok the communists executed people for watching the show that's deeply anticapitalist. Sure. I believe you.

It's fucking wild that they think they can write this shit and not have people laugh at it

One interviewee reported hearing from an escapee with family connections in Yanggang Province that people, including high school students, were executed for watching Squid Game. Radio Free Asia separately documented an execution in North Hamgyong Province in 2021 for distributing the series.

Taken together, these reports from different provinces suggest multiple executions related to the shows.

Seems legit

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Without exaggeration, this sentence seems to equate to "We heard from a guy who heard from a guy who had family who knew people who heard that high school students were executed for watching Squid Game."

That's about right

[–] TheModerateTankie@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, thats about right.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yanggang

lmao this just reminded me of Andrew Yang and the Yang Gang. Wonder where he is now?

In a hideout in the hillside of Epstein island with the #khive

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

do the people who come up with radio free asia's bullshit get supplied with drugs by the US government or do they have to find their own dealers?

My ~~girlfriend~~ victim of communist oppression lives in Canada. You wouldn't know her

South Koreans freedumb groups used to launch balloons over the DMZ with USB sticks with drama shows on them. People got offed for possessing them and they were asked to stop doing it.

[–] QuietCupcake@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

People got offed for possessing them

How true even is that? Where did you get that information? I mean maybe it's true, I'm not sure. I'm not even saying it would have been unjustifiable if true. But when you just toss something like that out there, I'm going to want to see some evidence that isn't from, for example, "Amnesty" fuckin' International, or any western outlet that has any stake in denigrating DPRK.

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'll go ahead and say that executing people over slop possession would in fact have been unjustifiable

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

For sure, I just don’t believe it happened at all

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

yeonmi-park ass story, I can't find any primary source reporting it.

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

Squid game ? Anticapitalist ? Next thing you tell me Metal Gear is political susie-laugh

[–] context@hexbear.net 39 points 3 weeks ago

yeonmi-park to make the executions of the schoolchildren extra cruel, they are carried out en masse in the form of a deadly game of red light/green light

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 34 points 3 weeks ago

Well you know what they say, if you can't trust the people who independently confirmed the Nayirah testimony, a completely fake story that led to the invasion of Iraq in the 90's then who the hell can you trust amirite?

Who among us hasn't lied for CIA blood money? Willt thou cast the first stone?

[–] TheModerateTankie@hexbear.net 32 points 3 weeks ago

Those schoolchildren were then resurrected and killed a second time. deeper-sadness

This is embarrassing but I need to submit myself for reeducation because a decade ago I would uncritically repeat the Western propaganda about DPRK executing people with mortars and shit.

South Korea/ ROK has a very positive public perception so in the past I've had to hold back from biting the heads off of coworkers when South Korea came up and saying how it is a capitalist hellhole US military base ruled by fascists where workers are squeezed and women (who are also workers) are objectified & commodified.

[–] XiaCobolt@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago

I'm going to be honest with you Amnesty International I don't think they do that.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

amnesty international more like travesty interasshole

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago

Amnesty international is a CIA/Mossad cutout

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I wish I could get paid handsomely for a career composed of leaving my country then making up shit about it. China really needs to start allocating more funds to helping anti-West "escapees" tell their story

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I volunteer. And as a bit idea I'll just say shit that's true and probably get the same reaction

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

Now I'm so curious what are the hanzi for "Epstein Files"

[–] GladimirLenin@hexbear.net 20 points 3 weeks ago

One thing i have noticed is the amount of pushback these clearly bullshit stories seem to get on reddit these days. So that's cool i guess.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I heard when a child misbehaves, the teacher threatens them with having them watch an episode

[–] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

Whoa, just so they can report them to the government and get the student executed!? How strict is their education system?? (/s)

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

I posted the link for you, smh. This site really is full of liberals...

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Season 3 is out? Hadn't heard anything about it

[–] godisidog@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Came out last year right? 2 and 3 were both the same game.

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

huh, completely flew over my head

[–] D61@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

And with the power of Juche necromancy, the executed can be brought back to life and executed again! yeonmi-park
