@Sp normal day in the NK
@AbNormal Least oppressive day in dprk
@Sp funny how most countries that insist on naming themselves "The People's x" or "Democratic Republic of x" always seem to turn out the opposite
:youjo-pink:
@AbNormal @Sp I mean it's really just that most countries which have called themselves that historically have also been anti-US, meaning US media is incentivized to say bad things about them.
keep in mind that a country's reputation in the US isn't necessarily its reputation elsewhere. for example, the DPRK is treated as some strange cartoonish hell on Earth by US media, but in China, it's just seen as a normal county, without that whole baggage. and US media isn't more objective than media from the rest of the world: it just broadcasts the sentiments of the US ruling class, after all, as does mainstream media from everywhere else.

@unspeakabledesire @Sp well yeah, of course the PRC would approve of the actions of the DPRK, because they read out of the same playbook
@unspeakabledesire @Sp no, certainly not anymore at least
Which is why I haven't read any since like 2012
But I'm gonna trust maybe-propaganda just a little bit more than certain-propaganda

@AbNormal @Sp @unspeakabledesire there is only propaganda and propaganda posing as not propaganda
nothing is ever made without intent
nothing is ever made without intent
@cum @Sp @unspeakabledesire of course nothing is made without intent, because you must first conjure the idea of doing a thing before you can enact the action

@AbNormal @cum @Sp @unspeakabledesire Unless they have a stroke or seizure or something and black out but their body keeps moving
@Jazzy_Butts @AbNormal @cum @Sp @unspeakabledesire I sleepwalk sometimes, but I'm really good at it. I baked a cake once when I was asleep. I woke up halfway through the slice, was like "F yeah, you made cake for breakfast?" to my dad, cause he was sitting there across from me looking at me funny with his own piece, he just said, "No, you did" and then we had cake for breakfast. I also answer questions and stuff. So I mean, it's not entirely unlikely that I could make propaganda while out cold.
