TIL North Korea :redstar: has its own propaganda channel on YouTube and it’s comedy gold. A window into an alternative time / world. Dystopian, a tad comical and yet quite interesting.
Apparently when the huge army isn’t training to fight the impending second American invasion it turns into a team of “builder soldiers” then dresses back in uniform for celebrations after building giant hi-tech … greenhouses complex to get fresh #vegetables 🥗🥕🥦 https://youtu.be/VMyI7kgJ3Y4?si=TmjMeQ36w8ZmyHWe
“It feels like our happy lives, which become more enjoyable every day, are piled on that bus and flowing.”
#NorthKorea propaganda about how cool their bus is. Hilarious. Looks like an infomercial from the 80s, subtly scripted, gloriously acted, comically translated 😂
Then again the bus looks great. What shocks me as a westerner: no TV showing fucking ads? No corporate advertising stickers on the bus. Just a bus. I laugh at the form but I admire this part.
Except instead of dancing for guys running after a ball they are there to cheer and motivate people on their way to work. The narrator says their speed increases. Not sure if they are motivated to work earlier or want to just escape the show or cheesy narrator.
North Korea will stop sending trash-carrying balloons into South Korea after Seoul threatens “unbearable” retaliatory steps over its balloon activities and other recent provocations. Read more from AP: https://flip.it/cLU5-x #News#WorldNews#Asia#SouthKorea#NorthKorea
Absolutely not, regardless of any danger they may cause, regardless of opposition of people who live in the area, because that would be "an excessive restriction on free speech" according to south korean courts.
So i guess North Korea must uphold human rights and continue sending the balloons south, right?
Sending bibles is vital work, definitely worth the risk of retaliation, the actual retaliation, the danger posed to north koreans whose land the balloons might fall on when they're found to possess contraband that they didn't ask for.
"South Korea (MNN) — South Korea’s Constitutional Court recently overturned a 2020 law that stopped people from sending anti-regime information to North Korea."
VOM: "When we asked what we could do to help, the underground church didn’t ask for food or freedom. They asked for tools so that they could continue and expand their work of proclaiming the gospel."
North Korean defector Lee Min-bok said that Park has jeopardized the entire balloon campaign by provoking both governments, “[the] extremely provocative language in Park Sang-hak's leaflets has nothing to do with promoting North Korean human rights, but is tailored to please conservatives and provoke progressives in the South...[he] wants to become a hero by going to prison for fighting this law”.
Bibles to #northkorea AND triggering the libtards, win win
"At this time of great uncertainty, we must ask ourselves on whose side we want to stand: those who reach out with concern to the North Korean people with messages of truth, hope, and love, or do we want to stand on the side of Kim Jong-il, the man responsible for genocide against the people of North Korea."

Yes, well said, but dick-flicking them until they stop talking to you isn't achieving any of that is it...
VOM again: 'People think about “North Korea Ministry” as supplying to North Korea what it lacks: food, human rights, and even movies on USB and DVDs. But VOM Korea’s North Korean ministry begins with what North Korea has: one of the strongest churches in the world, growing faster than the South Korean church.'
"It is said that the tree of peace lives off blood and that freedom is not free. Somebody has to sacrifice themselves, so if I'm killed by Kim Jong Un’s gun, it'll be an honor." -- #ParkSangHak
Presumably that also includes the blood of journalists whose head you've smashed in with bricks...
