But at what cost 😱😭😠

I mean, come on. The bar to beat is like on the floor now.

no mcdonalds burger 😱😱😱

So a communist state is winning from America.

It's not like they care about reality, they can just use the ultimate argument of this is propaganda and you are a bot.

lmfao yeah

From the same country that says it has a cure for cancer and aids, and that unicorns actually existed at some point.

Citation needed.

Meanwhile, America has a “cure” for cancer every other month

Like a North Korean dinner, there’s fuck all meat here. It’s just parroting a bunch of claims.

It’s just parroting a bunch of claims.

Seems like the only parrot here is you.

We come up with a new gun every other month? Seems low.

You're literally parroting propaganda without a shred of self-awareness lol. Do you ever bother to fact check anything about the designated enemies of western capitalism?

You saying this is literally gommunism 1 gorillion dead you tankie

a lost redditor appears, it is very confused

I expected a lot better from you, DPRK

Just now? C'mon, Kim Jong-Un.

Based on the articles I've seen from HR News linked on Lemmy I'm pretty sure it's AI generated, although they do it somewhat more competently than other more blatantly generated news content. The links backing up its arguments at least have a vague connection to the claim in the article, but it's still pretty questionable, for instance they say "free education" and then link to this page which gives a single data point from 2008 that says NK has a "100%" literacy rate, information credited to "World Bank". There's a claim that the country has universal free healthcare, and then in the next sentence links a wikipedia article that contradicts that claim in the second paragraph. You don't even need to say these claims are definitively false to realize this is lazy journalism at best.

Not sure what the fuck I just stumbled into but holy shit the comments here are wild. This is some twilight zone shit assuming everyone here are real people.

What exactly is wild? You're unfamiliar with the modern day DPRK?

To be fair, they had to start from scratch after the US leveled the country and killed a quarter of the population.

Liberals when encountering a dissenting opinion:

What about liberty !
Ha, got you.

/s
It looks obvious, but not for everyone

Welcome outside of the US imperial information bubble you lived your entire life in. I hope you read and stay.

The only lesson that this teaches me is

1. ALWAYS go to war agains the global northerners when they try to squash you Proletarian Uprisings

2. NEVER.EVER.EVER.EEEEEVER.GIVE.UP.THE.NUKES. Socialism is impossible in the modern world without nukes

Some people guzzle western propaganda about NK, like every male has to have the same haircut as Kim, or that they constantly execute people with aircraft cannons, and then somehow come to find that the supposed executed people are alive and well!

Time to wake up and learn that American propaganda has been the most successful propaganda in human history.

And everything claimed by America is done to further their goals of global domination. Why would you watch every American news channel lie out their ass for the past 3 years about their ally committing a genocide, and then go on to happily believe everything they say about NK?

AND with a new type of school shooting too!

Dont you just luv freedumbs and Kimberlies?

Just like you don't consider the citizens of DPRK to be real people, they exist and aren't in some cartoon logic world you liberals have in your mind.

If that's your read on the situation, you should give it about ten years more thought and maybe crack one (1) history book before you come back here and try again, okay bucko?

This is Lemmy.ML, as in Marx-Leninism. It is filled with entirely delusional people. I'd give you examples of what they believe, but I can't think of anything more ridiculous than believing that North Korea is some sort of paradise. It's best just to point, laugh, and move on.

"Everyone who disagrees with the extremely propagandized bubble of liberalism I've been raised in is mentally defective, ignore how many times they've been proven right."

When you have to pretend that nobody could actually disagree with you without being insane or paid, you have the most fragile ideology in history.

Believing North Korea is some sort of paradise

See? If you didn't have straw men you'd have no men at all. I can do it too. You think America is a paradise, how insane is that? Get help for your delusions, dude.

This is Lemmy.ML as in Marx-Leninism

It's actually .ml as in Mali, but okay.

I'd give you examples of what they believe,

You actually don't know because everything you know about Marxism-Leninism (and communism as a whole) you learnt from Western media.

It's best just to point, laugh, and move on.

Yeah that's not a citation. Please post a link to any official DPRK source to back up your claims of what they say.

You do realize that you're nakedly repeating myths with no self-awareness, right? For example, the DPRK doesn't actually believe unicorns existed, just like western countries don't actually believe dragons existed, despite using the iconography as cultural symbols. Whatever you believe is common sense is in reality whatever the ruling class finds it best for you to believe.

It's much simpler, most people on Lemmy.ml are communists. Communists naturally have analysis that differs from norms in capitalist countries.

Nobody says the DPRK is a paradise. The DPRK is a resiliant socialist country that has managed to achieve incredible results given that they were subject to mass devastation and genocide, and incredible sanctions. That doesn't mean it's heaven on Earth either, but because it's incredibly hard to deny that the DPRK has done a lot with very little it's common for opponents to pretend communists believe a hyperbole.

...they're going to link to a wikipedia article, aren't they?

enjoy being educated https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-wsj-just-confirmed-what-socialists

The DPRK is a socialist country, the economy is overwhelmingly publicly owned and the state is run by the working classes. The idea that the DPRK is an "authoritarian shithole" based on unverified western allegations doesn't hold any water; the west committed genocide against Koreans and bombed their country into oblivion, then proceeded to sanction them for decades. Western atrocity propaganda helps foment discontent against the DPRK and reduce the chances of reunification, which would be devastating for the US' encirclement of China.

Yeah, the random kidnappings, being killed by officers at random, mass surveillance and censorship, propaganda all the time about its enemies, the crippling homelessness and starvation, lack of healthcare and how aggressive it is towards everyone else makes me NOT want to reside as a citizen in the United States.

DPRK is just so nice.
