I remember CNN ran an article about how "in North Korea women are only allowed six different hair styles", and it was illustrated with a pic from a DPRK hair salon with a hairdresser standing in front of a poster with like ten different cuts, none of which the hardresser had herself.

It's just wild how cartoonishly lazy western propaganda is.

acting like these dont exist in the west as I breathlessly scream about how this is proof of a dictatorship

Under socialism everyone will be by law required to have a pompadour.

The only person able to tell you how to wear your hair should be your employer at a private corporation.

In USA you must have Donald Trump combover or you are executed.

In gommunist North Korea everyone is required to be shaved and the barber must only shave those that do not shave themselves. Every time the barber grows a beard he and his entire family are sent to the paradox gulags.

Oh boy? Boy boy!

Meanwhile in Burgerland the Hitler-Youth-Top-With-Viking-LARPer-Beard thing is an expression of unique individuality.

Everyone should be forced to have my haircut. It's a little no nonsense thing called male pattern baldness and it's fine, you don't even have to go to a barber unless you're forced to have the haircut which I guess I'm arguing for. Maybe we could have a Freddy Krueger-type deal where the barber cuts your hair in your sleep and it affects your body in real life. It's only common sense.

Of all the bullshit North Korea stories that have gotten play in the West (NK has nuclear zombies, discovering a unicorn, executing their Olympic soccer team, executing all their nuclear scientists ... I could go on), the haircut stories are honestly the funniest becuase it changes every time depending on how some white guy interprets the stuff on a Korean salon's wall. Like depending on the Western source you either have to get Kim's haircut or your forbidden from getting it, there might be 6, 10 or 20 allowable haircuts or those same haircuts are forbidden for being too Western, maybe ladies all have to get men's haircuts or ladies aren't allowed it salons at all becuase only men's hairstyles are on the wall.

And this has all been published in supposedly reputable Western papers, the real batshit crazy stuff that right-wing tabloids in South Korea churns out or the recent claims Yeonmi Park has been putting out never makes it into the mainstream press.

Please Mr biden my friends and I yearn for the freedom of individual expressions please send reaper drones

Meanwhile...

No super saiyan?
