Korea / 조선
A community about anything related to Korea, such as news about the countries (DPRK and south), discussion, photos and videos, the language, etc.
See also: [email protected], which is intended for memes rather than serious discussion of these topics.
The picture of this Lemmy community is magnolia (목란), the national flower of the DPRK. The background picture is a scenery of Pyongyang.
Rules:
-
No imperialist apologia. The DPRK didn't start the war. US imperialist invasion was not justified. Neither are their army bases in south Korea. The sanctions were and are not justified.
-
Be respectful. The imperialist media likes to describe the DPRK people as completely brainwashed, and that it'd be fine to completely destroy that country in an invasion. Don't act like the imperialist media.
-
Be skeptical of your sources. Don't trust the media that has been known to report many falsehoods about Korea already. (You may still link to them if they write something interesting / worth reading, just be careful.)

I hear in North Korea, they have no words for love or ice cream, and they make everyone take turns pushing the trains with their feet while overseers hit them with riding crops and yell "yabba dabba doo".
Truly the most monstrous country
You seem to be suggesting that these examples were made up, but all were taken from primary sources below.

The Guardian – Why do North Korean defector testimonies so often fall apart?
I doesn't feel like you've taken a balanced look at all the primary sources available:

Nice music lol
Thanks! :)
I get the distinct impression that all of these replies come from the same person running different accounts. I find it hard to believe that there are this many people replying within minutes to me on Lemmy with such strongly positive opinions about North Korea.
You find it hard to believe because in your usual echo chambers you can post unverifiable witness testimonies and have them uncritically pass as primary sources. This is a change of pace for you.
Do you bring these same crushing powers of observation to your understanding of Amerikkkan propaganda?
You're in Lemmygrad. Not "on Lemmy".
You silly Billy, Lemmy is an umbrella. You might have noticed that “Lemmy” Is in the name “Lemmygrad”
I think I’ve made my point. I won’t be replying further.
I think you know when you're outclassed.
Feel free to check out some educational resources .
They were making a point that Lemmygrad, an explicitly Marxist-Leninist instance, is quite different than your home instance.
