Not very

It's like kicking sand in the face of a retarded orphan, it's just waiting for literally anyone to do it, since literally anyone can.

this

anyone else really want to go to DPRK just to get some photos of stuff like this? it's so bizarre looking that I feel like you need to see it with your own eyes.

what would be the point? that faggot is globally recognized as a monster and its doctrine as backwards, barbaric and simply a failure
the only reason it has any relevance to this day is for its historic value, laughing stock and to apply punishable laws

I have a lot of empathy for north korea, and north koreans..

and I hope pyongyang is preserved forever as a reminder.

not worth the 10 trillion dollars itll take to stabilize the fucking country

ya I kinda do.

I've heard some interviews and everyone says its really bazzare but really cool and fun too.

and even for americans its super safe, nobody except your guide is even allowed to talk to you.. lolm

> The one country in the world that totally resists McDonalds & CocaCola Americo-Jewish hegemony and cultural subversion
> lol lets blow up their nationalist symbols

k

>he thinks the us stabilizes countries
oh, to be a good goy again

They should be preserved to remind future generations to fight tooth and nail for every inch of freedom

not before this

is that kid still in prison - the one that got sentenced for like taking a sign or something

It's kind of funny how casually dressed they are.

this
what do you think the US does anyway?
we traffic drugs and guns.... Its kinda our thing.

We do hollywood movies in north korea too, the drugs and guns will come later.

Looks like they made a space for the kid.

This.

Removing monuments of oppression causes people to forget why they were there in the first place

Stay safe. If they throw you in the concentration camps you'll be the biggest guy there so don't cry on TV please.

funfact: the largest American Flag in the world is actually in North Korea

we aint taking in ' refugees '

how big is it?

the ones they bring out on the field for football games are rediculously huge

>It's kind of funny how casually dressed they are.
The statue of Kim Jong-il (right) initially also featured a long formal coat but they changed it later to his signature parka

where's baby kim's statue?

WE AINT TAKING REFUGEES

they really dont do that unless you walk in and do something like tear up your passport and demand to meet the leader or something crazy like handing out bibles to the locals. They make a lot of money on tourism and americans are $$$$

They are pretty cool.
The world needs more cool statues.

I was thinking the same thing

You get more $$$ if you capture Americans and Obama pays your bounty in rice

I imagine it would have a point to North Koreans when they'll finally manage to get some kind of a government that doesn't look at them as slaves to be brainwashed and exploited.

No, the irony of posting that under my flag is not lost on me, but even we don't have huge statues of Putin. He's more subtle than that.

I had an interesting dream about North Korea last night.

I had become some sort of ambassador to NK from Canada, and had found out that Kim Jong-il didn't actually die. He retired to go live a playboy life. After he found out what his son was doing, he came back and blew him the fuck out, getting him to give back the Supreme Leader title to Kim Jong-il.

Then for some reason, Kim Jong-il started playing "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden from giant loudspeakers around Pyongyang.

>He retired to go live a playboy life.
That's pretty much what NK leaders already do.

Yeah but this was different for some reason, I can't quite recall why. It was as if Kim Jong-il left the country to see how his son would do without him.

It was a pretty fuckin' cool dream though.

>>he thinks the us stabilizes countries
What is Japan and Germany and South Korea? Sorry that your literal fascist gov't still hasn't helped you recover from WW2.

No, fuck that. The only way I'd even consider going there is if the NK government falls apart.

travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/alertswarnings/north-korea-travel-warning.html

That kid was a fucking retard. How he got approval to get into NK in the first place is beyond me.

there we go

Nice full house.

>(((He))) thinks his Government, ancestors helped those countries.

Your rotten lot has been doing nothing more than the bidding of Jewish bankers for almost a 100years.

Now, go and praise your greatest ally Israel

I did.

why not? i'd rather want to visit best korea than the US

That kid is an absolute disgrace. He has no idea what he has done.

Why is there two? Why not one? Looks retarded

Kek will be funny to see if they're filled with paper maché

Holy fuck youre stupid

Fuck that I want to see this massive, hollow amalgamation of first world code violations destroyed

Only 14 years left in his sentence

I feel bad for the dude. 15 years hard labor over a poster is downright inhumane. I mean, I don't expect the DPRK to last that long, but still. Just give him a good ass-kicking and send him home.

We Ministry of Truth now

It would be stupid.
Its a very built statue

I think at least Japan and Germany would have preferred not be """"stabilized"""" by you.

I still like you though ;^)

very nice statue

Melt them down and make a Trump statue that is twice the size.

Yeah, because Japan is such a shit hole now. We should have just let them win WW2 because Amerikkka is the real fascist nation, right?

>MAKE THE NORTH GREAT AGAIN

I'd rather someone make a gigantic silly hat and put it on their heads.

I dunno if statues and stuff are bizarre.

Pyongyang has a pretty neat history if you're interested: Pyongyang - Ancient and Modern - The Capital of North Korea by A. Schinz and E. Dege.

People can talk to you and you can talk to them, their restrictions have been reduced a surprising amount.

If you're interested in a story from someone who was at a camp: nknews.org/2014/11/matthew-millers-excellent-adventure-in-north-korea/

Pretty much.

This. It's funny how you clowns pretend to be so opposed to the propaganda that our media has shoved down your throats since infancy, yet you turn around and suck (((their))) dicks whenever it comes to the last true nationalist holdout on the planet.

Pathetic.

>obama is under the control of Soros so much he has to go babysit his kid in NYC at his kid's apartment.

BAN ASSAULT FLASHLIGHTS

I wish there were super long range drones that were small and could be used by civilians. I'd send one over and fly it all around Pyongyang and the death camps taking photos until it was shot down. I'd want hundreds or thousands of others to join too - completely saturate and look at them. If possible, I'd have it drop shopped animal porn involving their current assclown leader.

who cares their all chinks and shits
practically a non country
they dont even exist on global scale
estonia at least got something into space

Do one with fire coming out if stalin s butt.

Empathy or sympathy?

Have you lived there? Are you North Korean?

those "death camps" are American imperialist propaganda, do not take it seriously
DPRK respects their citizens, unlike USA or any other western country.

Well, the drones can verify that ahmed.

Seth Rogan pls go

Why is so much like... some cartoon parody of an actual state?

Not that epic. North Korea is not a threat to anyone. It's just extremely sad. I feel so bad for anyone who got stuck living on the wrong side of the border. Fuck.

No they look cool as fuck, what are you a member of ISIS you like destroying art? Shouldn't you be busy bombing the Syrian army?

do not stick your disgusting noses there, you have destroyed too many countries because of it. DPRK is great, no need to investigate it.

STOP BOMBING SAA TERRORISTS

No pics of 'death camps' or the like yet, just speculation.

But you can see 360 videos of Pyongyang and the like if you wanna look for fishy stuff. See here: youtu.be/XW0sZTmbxes

DPRK has satelites in space. They also have nukes and they can pretty much destroy south korea without even using their nukes.

Statues should stand forever, regardless of whom they're of.

That's not a crime in NK.

This picture is bullshit and like someone on here was saying it was taken in a blackout or was doctored. Even africa looks lit up and it's just shitty huts and villages with street lights here and there

>turquoise paint

Yeah. The great 60 year blackout. From 1950 to present

F

I hope it doesn't happen too soon, I want to go on one of those Best Korea tours.

How much longer can North Korea last anyway? They have hardly any food or money, and they are spending what little money they have on these shitty nuclear bombs that are essentially 1980s technology and wouldn't make it past any modern missile defense system.

The people are starving and they are pretty much isolated. Is there any country on earth that has managed to last more than a few decades in such deplorable living conditions? They don't even have a weaker neighbor to invade and pillage for resources, because they are the weaker neighbor. I don't even see how they could get a bailout from another country because they have no resources worth exploiting other than cheap labor.

You realize we literally send them food right?

NK has existed this long because US/ROK/China prop it up so there's not 18 million fucking refugees flooding the peninsula.

>that lack of traffic

Come visit the giant buddha on Lantau too

Keep in mind N.Korea also makes the most meth and sells it back to their citizens

I actually wouldn't like that to happen. Im for them waking up and changing the system but I don't like what happened to my country. When commies came they destroyed everything from times of out kingdom, them when we threw commies out we destroyed what they made.

They should just accept it as part of their history and move on.

Communist governments fall. It's either Kim Jong Un gets assassinated and gets replaced by a more liberal leader or he dies and replaced.

It's practically a Berlin Wall 1989/Soviet Union 1991 waiting to happen.

Yeah, some of the color choices are soooo bleh.

Yeah, not much traffic in general. Public transportation is the standard, a vid on some of it if you want: youtube.com/watch?v=OVWhYhlRdrI


Except meth is illegal. So is pot.

it even looks Orwellian

Having read 1984, I'm not sure what exactly Orwellian Architecture looks like.

>Finland 2: post-soviet boogaloo
Not the Estonian you were replying to but this made me laugh.

man i think its bullshit. You know your gov is shit when its has to tear down statues like isis. germany did it too after the fall of the ussr.

Either you're one of the local Styopas trying to give Estonia a bad name by acting like a retard or you're actually this stupid. Either way, kill yourself.

They take the food and sell it so they can buy weapons. I think we should stop sending them food and see how long the military is willing to support Kim on an empty stomach.

>Years of hard labour to create a massive city
>Hardly anyone lives in it

It confuses me so much. Why do they even bother trying to keep up appearances? The whole world knows their economy is fucked and they're living off of foreign aid. Yet they spend so much on pointless, extravagant shit and building an army with equipment so stuck in the 20th century that it's practically pointless anyways.

Much better to nuke Mecca.

The appearances are probably not for us to see, but to keep up the delusions of the Kim family.

God this qt makes me wish I was a superman like superhero so I could swoop into best Korea and rescue all the best Korean qt's and bring them to a new and better life in Murica.

Why would you ever wish for the destruction of art work? I think they look cool as hell.

You don't think China would back them up again?

I'm curious, but I wouldn't want to actually go for fear of being kidnapped or thrown into a work camp for accidentally saying something wrong about their government.

Kim Jong Il was well known to be a movie buff, and to especially love the Western genre.

Why non-Americans love Westerns so much, I will never understand. Maybe you could help me out, frog. What's the appeal?

Can you show me an issue of Cahiers du Cinema that discusses it, perhaps? Maybe something written by Godard, Bazin, or Truffaut?

Now that's actually quite a good painting. Though the artsy crudely painted background thing missed its mark in the left side of the painting

I'm far from a film buff and I really couldn't direct you to some reliable sources but from what I can see
>exotic appeal : few country had something like the american frontier, the landscapes caught on camera are unique, the culture depicted in it, although not historically accurate, is foreign and interesting
>relatable themes : man storyes are all about undoing a wrong, protecting a loved one (Shane comes to mind) or your community, etc. But Hollywood's very direct take on things that puts the action and confrontation on the foreground and the conflict of ideas and values in the background makes it very easy to watch for someone unfamiliar with american culture
>strong figures : be it the heroic "cow-boy" or the agent of the law in his small town, be it the misunderstood indian or the crooked criminal, all figures are easy to understand, almost in a way similar to that of the comedia dell'arte : you may not be familiar with the context but you can still easily tell who the characters are and most importantly what they are
It's the right blend of familiar and exotic, I'd say.

Interesting. The standard American analysis of the genre is that it's melodramatic. Almost cartoonish. The heroes are very obviously and unequivocally the good guys, and the villains are equally obviously the bad guys, even to the point that it is conventional to costume them in white or black hats depending on their affiliation. Morality is explicit and simplistic. It's seen as a genre for children, really, which is one of the important reasons that it's very much not popular any more.

Well, he had his advisor torn to death by starving hounds, and his uncle obliterated by getting a mortar dropped on his head.

Also he shoots rockets across Japan, working towards a truly intercontinental ballistic missile.

Oh, and then there's the nuclear weapons. And threatening every other week to wipe everyone else out with them.

>not much traffic in general

Are tourists even allowed to drive in the country? Cause it may explain this.

>it's melodramatic, morality is explicit and simplistic
And that's why it works so well : since everything is very obvious, you are not comfused by the cultural difference. This way, you can enjoy something very foreign to you yet still understand it perfectly. By making the values simple and the stories very clear, everyone can follow (which has always been the point of Hollywood, for better and for worse) now that can be a detriment for the domestic audience, but it is also very positive for the foreign audience since it will make the overall understanding much easier.
If you want to see what it's like to be truely lost in some other culture's art, I'd recommend trying to watch a TV adaptation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, especially if you are not very familiar with chinese culture. In that case, the underlying concepts and values are quite complex, they are not explained, and it can make it very misleading for a foreigner who will have no grasp (or wors, project their own) on concepts like loyalty, hierarchy, divinity, power and influence, etc.
>mfw having a better discussion about cinema on Cred Forums than would ever be possible on Cred Forums

That's an interesting question. I am gunna assume there is some sort of license requirement or something - I've never seen a foreigner driving.

I'll have to ask, thanks for the thought.

>Well, he had his advisor torn to death by starving hounds, and his uncle obliterated by getting a mortar dropped on his head.
The hound thing is proven bullshit. That was all based on a tweet by a known Chinese satirist and our media reported it as fact. The media has no credibility.

>Also he shoots rockets across Japan, working towards a truly intercontinental ballistic missile.
>Oh, and then there's the nuclear weapons. And threatening every other week to wipe everyone else out with them.
So he just wants the same sort of weapons their enemies have?

You forgot

The Tiger Generals are like super heroes to chinks.

I don't know, you tell me, neo-con. Which country would be next on the invasion list? Iran? China? Russia? Any country that's stands in the way of neo-liberal neo-conservative Nato world domination?

i dont know who they are or care.

Go ask Oppenheimer over at /k/ about nuclear weapons, even delivered via ICBM, and how much of a real threat they are.

North Korea doesn't have the resources to even maintain a large nuclear arsenal, plus we have short range missiles to shoot down ICBMs shortly after launch, and if they are detected late we have a missile shield on the west coast that is designed to intercept the ICBMs upon reentry. Beyond that, they don't have a way of hiding the missile unless it's launched from a vehicle, a method that can't be used for ICBMs, only short range missiles (what I'm getting at is we could destroy it at any time, or else it wouldn't be in a usable state if they managed to hide it).

The threat of fallout and the impact of a single strike is greatly exaggerated, but I won't describe that here.

The nuclear issue is posturing on NKs part and fear mongering on ours. Having enemies, especially ones that are existential threats, is good for the military and political establishments, as well as the defense industry

As to NKs saber-rattling elsewhere, it's just that-saber rattling. Their relationship with China is strained so they couldn't be counted on to help in the event of conflict, while we would be. The government is incompetent but not stupid, they know how a war with a US ally would turn out.

In short North Korea shouldn't even be something you think about let alone be worried by or hate.

I gotta say, I like the colorful paint. But the city looks like a shell. A Faberge egg.

I wish one of their leaders would step up and rebuild the country strong. Stop with the propaganda. They could be remembered in history as the leader who bought light to the country and freed his peoples.

But I guess it's better to be feared than loved.

(also I kinda wish it would get dark at night here in the US - living near even a moderately sized city means the stars are all but snuffed out. Shit sucks.)

He was just making an observation. Personally I love fucking around on my computer, but I try to turn out the lights when I'm not using them, and don't watch TV. Cred Forums is my TV now.

I suppose that makes sense in a way, but I am also reminded of the old traveling western shows, such as Buffalo Bill's. They were even more popular in Europe than they were in the United States. It's almost as though there's something specifically about the West that appeals to Europeans.

My interpretation (which I stole from someone else, but apply in a different way) is that the United States is the ultimate culmination of European civilization. When Europeans came to America, they had a vast empty land to build a nation on. But they brought with them European philosophy, values, and laws. So they started from nothing in the land, but started from a pinnacle in their ideas for how a society should work. The Western genre is the most pure cinematic portrayal of that pioneer spirit, and so when Euros watch it, they feel a pining for that sort of existence.

What I'd be interested in knowing though is why the italian got a particular interest in the genre and developped it themselves too.

Just because it was satire doesn't mean it didn't happen. You can't know the depths of cruelty to which they will stop in the hermit kingdom.

Oh, and the United States isn't incessantly threatening to wipe everyone else out with nuclear weapons. The Kims are known to do that.

That's a pretty shitty outfit to immortalized in on the right though 2bqh lads.

That's a fun one. Although it seems they used a ZPU-4 anti-aircraft cannon, not missiles.

Me too. I've visited North Korea. Had to bow in front of these statues and place flowers in front of them. At the end of the day they take the flowers back to be resold the next day.

This isn't in NK, right?

It is. It's just for show, nobody actually goes there. Same with their Buddhist temples.

That is in NK.

No confirmation on AA executions yet outside anonymous SK spy sources - which have been wrong plenty of times.

Nah, working on it.

>talking to tripfags

It is well within the capability of the North Koreans already to kill ten million people in Seoul. In a matter of seconds.

And all it would take is one rogue officer, or the guru just having a bit of a bad day.

If you don't think that we would be immediately in a bitter war with them after that, then you do not understand our government.

How much more epic would it be to see them come to life and fight each other for control of North Korea.

Shit, I gotta get this to Weinstein quick.

Makes sense since I think practice of religion is forbidden in NK.

So is it a relic from before the formation of NK or what?

No, they have churches available. Includes a Russian orthodox church, a buddhist temple, a christian church, bible meetings in a rural village, etc.

I don't know enough about European cinema to say, but to speculate I would think that the Italians mimicked every other aspect of American cinema, notably the Horror genre. Why not the Western, too?

If anything, I'm somewhat surprised the French didn't make their own version building on the success of the Italian film The Battle of Algiers.

Otherwise this is from their Constitution:


Article 68. Citizens have freedom of religious belief. This right is
granted through the approval of the construction of religious buildings
and the holding of religious ceremonies.
Religion must not be used as a pretext for drawing in foreign forces
or for harming the State or social order.

They need to build a wall to keep the illegal smoggigrants out.

That one is owned by Thomas Demski.
I think it's 500 feet long. Each star is 17 feet high.
The dude rents it out.

Those 15 years hard labor are just there so NK has something to barter with.
I wouldn't expect him serving even one.

WHAT!? Over 280 posts and no one noticed this is a distraction/propaganda post!?

THERE IS ONLY ONE POST BY OP!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS!?!?!?

HEY ESTONIA
If I were to visit your country would it be nice? Would people be nice. Would they complain to me about America all the time? Is the scenery nice?

Guess I'm not seeing the difference between a firing squad & AA guns apart from theatrics. If anything, you're going to die quicker from the cannon shells.

Yankee pig don't understand. Most Korea hates the US.

Say what you will. North Korea has some fine fucking sculptors. I love this style of scultping.

why do they not have chairs.

explain this shit.
why
how is this not punished for disbelieving in the godhood of kim sung il?
