I get that I am going to be downvoted for this, but please hear me out.
I live in the US and my impression of North Korea has been shaped by that media exposure. However, I’ve never really looked to deeply at it. I’m not saying that I disagree with the portrayal of North Korea in western media, but I would like to see some sources. Preferably from a variety of countries.
If you can help me find those, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

- A North Korea Researcher Says You Can Trust 38North and DailyNK | It’s time for a deeper dive into the propaganda machine of DPRK ‘citizen reporters’
- 📺 Three Stooges go to the Korean DMZ and ‘break’ DPRK ‘laws’ | You’ll NEVER BELIEVE what CRAZY LAWS the DPRK will PASS NEXT!!!
Your posts are rustling those chauvinist jimmies beautifully, please continue.
No problem! Yeah took a little break to focus on some real life things and my inbox is overflowing 😁

I don’t see praise of north Korea. Just criticism of South Korea. But, of course, tankie just means any critism of the West and its vassels.

I’d rather live in SK (perhaps a rural area? Without too much of the soulless consumerism and asociality…), but overall accurate?
Over time, the southern half of Korea is becoming more and more divided and radicalized. It’s utterly dominated by monopoly capital, and some of the most far-right individuals in the world. At the same time, labor organizing is on the rise, and they just elected a soc-dem that is trying to normalize relations with the DPRK and PRC while distancing a bit from Japan and the US (though not a full pivot).
I think as the US Empire wanes, the trends in the ROK point towards either peaceful reconcilliation with the DPRK along the lines of expanded trade and cooperation, hopefully an actual merge of the two along the lines of the “one country, two systems” approach, or revolution outright in the southern half. The DPRK is far less divided politically, and the ROK depends on the US Empire’s millitary too much to remain stable as the US Empire fades.
They’re money worshippers and utterly plastic today because they got infected with the Western European/American virus, sadly. Not surprised they’re not having babies, it comes with the illness. And you’re probably right, but it’ll take at least 2 generations and a strong fever to make Korea healthy. And who knows if America, instead of fighting proxy wars everywhere decides to focus solely on China and intensifies its presence in SK? Let’s hope every neighbour makes peace and the troublemakers become more and more isolated.
It’s not that they got “infected,” they got occupied, and were under a brutal fascist dictatorship for decades. The brutal repression has resulted in a starkly divided ROK. I have a lot of sympathy for the southern half of Korea, and those trying to kick out US Imperialism.
Good correction, and I empathize with them too.

Try the report button
Make sure to write “russian shill” into the report field so that mods know you’re dumb
Why did you even bother to leave Reddit? They have the echo chamber you seem to want waiting there for you
Oh, Mr Tankie Ironic Nickname showed up 😂
Here come the crylaugh emoji.
I don’t mind if you follow me around and commenting your anti-russian anti-DPRK anti-china anti-communist rhetoric, but could you actually come up with more original comments please? On that note can someone ban this empire shill?
dprk and china are not communist you tankie dweeb
Both are socialist countries run by communist parties, though with differences like Juche in the DPRK and SWCC in the PRC.
It is you, who is not communist
