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.)

Nah they do not look terrified, they look how the average kid their age looks when asked questions in class, on the spot, with a camera pointed at them, in a foreign language.
The cue cards comment is very funny, it's very obvious there are no cue cards in this situation, watch from 6:32. Take a look at the whole video and everyone's demeanor. Kids are smiling, some are laughing, some are bored. Your brain refuses to see normal and calm people existing in DPRK because you are conditioned to see fear in everyone's eyes.
Obviously shy children speaking in a second language while being filmed: evidence of a violent authoritarian dystopia
Children getting gunned down en masse every other day: ...? I pretend I do not see it.
Kinda creepy how these dudes automatically see dystopia on anything related to the DPRK.
