Is North Korea As Bad As They Make It Out to be?

As the title states, is north korea really that bad of a place, Cred Forums?

Seeing as how they're the only nation left with >no jewish interference, it would make sense for the western (((media))) to make it out to be a hellhole, right?

So is it that bad?

Weed is legal there but not in South Korea.

The North Koreans are truly worried about the south taking away their weed if they were to invade or reunify.

This is the most retarded post i have seen today

how so?

>1 post by this ID

Yes it is a terrible place.
It's extremely reclusive, exaggerates everything it does and Big Kim threatens nuclear war whenever someone so much as farts near the North Korean border/NK waters

Not long ago they sentenced an American to 15 years hard labor for trying to steal a fucking piece of propaganda

If you've never been there, than how can you know it's bad?

Not even a Christfag but
>You've never been to Hell, how can you know it's bad?

United States is to Israel as China is to North Korea.

What is the nukes Alex?

Countries that have sent a man to the sun
>North Korea
Countries that haven't
>Everyone else

Probably because you're retarded.

It's based. Don't believe the Jews, they say it's bad because they have no Jew central bank.

Youth Obeying Lucifer’s Orders

All of you should go there and try to assimilate. They have the same morals and principles as you. They all blindly follow some leader. Its Cred Forums the country.

Yep, before Bush, there were a lot more countries outside the central banking cabal. It used to include Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Possibly Syria too.

Cuba and Iran may fall under the Obama term, leaving Best Korea as the only non Jewed country.

Anyways, Korea was a backwater before Japanese colonization. Each North Korean generation has a higher standard of living than the prior one.

Kim just has to let political elites send their kids overseas and allow some internet access to keep the dangeous ones in line. As for peasants, they seem okay as long as they are not starving.

Can you really say it's much worse than here?

Except it's not. Weed is illegal in North Korea.

I don't think it's as bad as the media outlines it.
Do I think it's great? No. Socialism sucks.

I think they're making steps in the right direction though, and they're very enjoyable to study.

No, they did not claim that they landed someone on the sun.

It's funny how people often claim NK is nothing but propaganda, while buying into false propaganda about it. Makes it tough to figure stuff out.

I'll dump some NK pictures, otherwise I can answer questions about NK law and other random shit.

I'm going to China next summer for 3 months (Qinhuangdao), is it possible to arrange a supervised trip to North Korea?

...

I have visited before. Yes, it is that fucking bad you absolute retard.

Yeah, just get in touch with one of the tour agencies. You typically fly from Beijing to NK.

user was correct, weed is legal in North Korea

I'm pretty sure that the sun landing image was making fun of the funny shit that does come from dpkr news

No, that's incorrect. Weed is illegal in North Korea. I have no idea why people keep saying this.

theguardian.com/world/2014/may/13/mythbusters-uncovering-the-truth-about-north-korea-cannabis-metro

Go to that and look for 'cannabis'.

The original reason the news started spreading this information is due to a guy who ran a 'bohemian blog' where he goes and smokes pot in every country. He has since deleted his article, but this was his addendum to his smoking in North Korea: web.archive.org/web/20160120125239/http://www.thebohemianblog.com/2013/11/smoking-weed-in-north-korea-critical.html

He admits his mistake and misunderstanding there, including that what he smoked probably wasn't even weed.

That is, in part, mentioned here: civilized.life/articles/north-korea-doesnt-have-legal-cannabis-but-it-does-have-miracle-liquor/

Otherwise it is covered under Article 217 of the North Korean Criminal Code.

Yes it is actually that bad you fat fucking autist

They even consume meth on a daily basis.

While I would like to default in thinking it's just a joke and nobody really thinks North Korea claimed that, my conversations both online and IRL have shown me otherwise. I've talked to multiple people who genuinely think that NK claims it landed people on the sun.

Sadly, given the widespread misinformation, I tend to assume people aren't goofing and genuinely think it (like the people mentioning pot being legal above).

Otherwise it's a good 10/10 goof.

Meth is illegal in NK.

Naw it can't be that bad. I'm sure the death camps are a great place for a vacation.

if you've never been to hell, it could have been falsely advertised and be pretty good you dumb fuck. learn to logic.

literally everything you hear is either spun beyond its original story, or its simply lies and nothing else.

>During the 7th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea in 2016, supreme leader Kim Jong-un stated that North Korea would "not use nuclear weapons first unless aggressive hostile forces use nuclear weapons to invade on our sovereignty"

usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/05/08/north-korea-wont-use-nukes-first-kim-jong-un/84107470/

even some western sources admits the western narrative is junk tier.

Lakes of fire and chains of ice sounds kinky.

It's pretty bad. From videos and pics that I've seen (both govt. monitored and "illegal", like those guys who took a train from Russia to Pyongyang, worth checking out desu), the countryside is just general Asian poor. Farmers farming, not terrible but not great either.

The famines they seem to endure are quite troubling and the fact that they actually seem to make a fair bit of money as a country and spend it all on cult of personality autismo shit is pretty retarded.

FUN FACT: My parents have been to North Korea and even got me a T shirt and received a personalized DVD edit of their trip, apparently North Korean tourist agency or whatever actually films most of what you do (my parents said they weren't actually aware of being filmed most of the time), then edit it into a "fun holiday" DVD and give it to you before you leave the country. Pretty amazing haha. I don't know if they do this anymore as this was in the 2000's

Most cities aren't surrounded by empty wasteland 15 blocks from high rises...

Is this where Oregon uniforms are made??

This is a decent summary, especially about the farm life.

Welcome to Socialism.

dunnolol

remember the " photoshop stories" where they claimed north korea photoshopped things? but when video footage proved it was not, they "forgot" to mention it anymore.

stories like that has happened over and over and over again and people still fall for it.


remember the "americans eating birds" shit movie made by some internet troll? the whole western media fell for it. but i have the original footage in korean and there is not even a mentioning of such. but again that was made by some troll and his whole channel is a troll.


also have the original footage of the submarine missile that the west claimed was "faked" yet they never tried to compared the two.

i think i may make a "top 10 lies you believe about northkorea" or something like that these days.

because there are so many shitty "top 10 north korea" bullshit videos that repeats the same bullshit over and over when literally anyone can google and see the info is wrong.

that sounds like iceland, that place was gorgeous. 10/10 would visit again.

From my experience I can say that South Korea is not much better. Replace Great Leader with corporations like Lotte or Hyundai and add wealth. The rest is absolutely the same.

All these photos make it look like absolute shit

If anyone cares about reality, best Korea is starting to get cucked more and more by the outside world.

An SK poster on Cred Forums said it wasn't as bad as the West makes it out to be, and that a lot of people have things like smuggled cellphones, dvd players, and movies from South. I suggested that to a couple of friends and they just laughed it off.

What's wrong with that? Have you ever been to the Sun? How do you know for sure it's bad?

crushzion.k0nsl.org/national-socialist-north-korea-vs-jew-occupied-south-korea/

Honestly it just looks like Chinese countryside.

Not that Chinese countryside is great or even good at all but it's essentially what most of Asian countryside is like - sustinence farming. It's the same in Thailand and Cambodia and Laos and Vietnam, just with somewhat varying crops and general poverty/shittiness levels.

I would rate Chinese countryside above Cambodian countryside. I would rate Laos and Thailand much higher than Cambodia, Cambodia is a pure shithole in the cities and just as bad in the countryside, truly terrible country. My parents said that North Korea mostly looked just untouched, like roads just in the middle of nowhere with no human interference aside from the roads. I would probably rate that above Cambodia which is a true true shithole (doesn't help that all the smart people were genocided lol)

North Korea is a pretty horrifying place.

>90% of their general population are malnourished and starving.
>Saying anything remotely negative about "Dear Leader" or about the country will have your head on the chopping block in 30 mins or less.
>All of the propaganda that is fed to the population literally makes out Kim to be a God sent to the Earth from the heavens that never shits.
>Only Government Officials are allowed to own and drive cars, everybody else either rides bikes or walks to where they need to go.
>Anyone who visits the country is under constant watch and is not allowed to go anywhere in the country without a "tour guide".
>Tourists are accommodated so poorly when staying in North Korea, that even a Motel 6 is more pleasant to spend the night in despite the fact that they actually are trying to impress visitors.

Are you still there, North Koreaboo? What is the crime rate overall in North Korea?

Yeah, that's exactly how I think of it. Looks like rural China stuff.

ur mum

No good source for that :(. Collecting data is a bitch when the country doesn't like sharing much information. They're slowly opening up though, so hopefully more well done info is available.

As a tangential example, NK stopped releasing its demographic data in the late 90's during the famine. It makes the famine look bad, so they just didn't release it. There are some good papers trying to recreate the data, but that just isn't the same :-C.

What do you think the long term effects of famine orphans will be?

Does the state own more children now than ever or just took the few they could handle? They are already grown up now if they were kids in 90's.

It reminds me of Animal Farm when the pigs take the puppies to raise themselves, which they turn into a metaphor the Cheka.

I have read a lot about Juche and honestly it comes pretty close to Cred Forums's philosophy or much of the thinking encountered on this board

...

>Not long ago they sentenced an American to 15 years hard labor for trying to steal a fucking piece of propaganda
I agree, the punishment was inappropriate. Thieves should be publicly hanged.

>getting the teeth tuned when others are in the same room

This is lovely comfy.

WEED IS LEGAL INI NORTH KOREA EVERYBOY SPREAD IT TO THE WORLD

>juche
>not an alternative name for National Socialism

That's a tough one. Demographics pic attached from aforementioend paper. But I've got no idea how far the state gets involved with orphans - could be as far as assigning them homes and stuff, I legitimately don't know and never bothered to ask.

I'll ask though and see if I can't find out some stuff about it.

Juche is weird. I've read all Jong-Il's papers and stuff, and it still seems fuzzy.

chomp chomp

u fukn lil shit i swer 2 christ

some people dig that rural life

that's /effay/ as fuck

>Is North Korea really that bad?
Of course it is why would the US ever fabricate stories to demonize another sovereign nation? That's almost unthinkable and what possible reason would we have to provoke hostilities with NK? Cover to stage an invasion of mainland China? Poppycock we wouldn't invade China unless trade stopped. We get most of our goods from China in exchange for USD. It's funny because we've just been printing it off in massive amounts without anything backing it and it would be pretty bad if the USD stopped being a reserve currency later this year. FUCK IT YOLO!
But probably the craziest thing about this would be that hollywood would be in on this and be so provocative so as to make a comedy movie about 2 jews assassinating NK's embarrassment of a sacred leader, barely preventing a massive nuclear exchange, and igniting a new "democratic" people's republic of Korea.

That's a wacky theory you got there

In all seriousness, i don't know what to believe about NK. On one hand im sure most people in it live materially poor lives but i have to wonder how untouched by our degeneracy they are.

Do north koreans that don't worry about politics sustain traditional families? do they practice any religion? could they even comprehend the deravity (((we))) have been trying to normalize?

I have to imagine that the day that NK falls it would bee a great mirror to look back unto us and see what simple lives make, i would imagine that most North Koreans have better character and family values that the rest of the west, its just that they are physically affected by their material poverty.

Ideologically speaking, Juche is intense nationalism to the point of 'cutting the nose to spite the face' so to speak.

Famine, poverty, militarism, etc all considered a small price to pay for an independent Korea.

Now, the philosophy is somewhat hypocritical right now. After all, if Juche is all about national self determination, shouldn't North Koreans be able to choose their leader?

Well the current argument is the Kims were chosen during the insurgency against Imperial Japan.

We all know the Soviets placed him in power, but he was more like Yugoslavia than Cuba. Kim il Sung played along for a bit then went rogue as soon as he could.

Anyways, Juche kinda reminds me of national socialism.

I read in a (((psychological))) study that North Koreans lacked an individual identity but the researcher found their national and familial satisfaction was off the charts compared to the West.

Idk man, we have bong hitting Bronies and lolbertarians, but our society seems to testify that individual identity is kinda meaningless in a cesspool of degeneracy where no one has anything in common.

>those potato faces
b-b-but Cred Forums told me that asian womyn were superior

Not badly put. Yeah, my issue was I kept seeing concepts of individuality contrasted with concepts of conformity. Then again, a lot of eastern philosophy doesn't care about contradictions.

And yeah, national socialism sounds about right.

Yes, the ((western media)) makes things seem worse than they are, and makes a big deal about Best Korea pursuing nuclear weapons, when it's not a big deal. Plenty of countries have nuclear weapons and they don't use them because they don't want to get nuked. Some of them are also poor and undemocratic, like Pakistan. North Korea is just one more.

That said, life in North Korea is pretty bad, there is lots of poverty, corruption, oppression and human rights abuses. The best way to get a perspective on this secretive country is just reading the accounts of North Koreans who leave the country.

Start here:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanbian_Korean_Autonomous_Prefecture

Basically, they flip out like Alice in Wonderland once they cross into third-rate Chinese border towns, and get starry-eyed when they realize that there's enough food, housing, heat, and basic freedoms.

While there is a law against marihuana in NK, it is apparently not enforced as you can buy bags full of weed in many shops. NK here i come

Ayy Koreaboo, you're my favorite namefag. You got any new photos to share? I've seen most of the DPRK 360 photos in dozens of your threads already unfortunately.

They have failed in materialist terms. They have been successful at resisting submission to the globalist world order.

Your picture is the stupidest thing I have ever seen on this shit site.

Grass eating slave nation .. Just NUKE THEM ....SERIOUSLY !

>Woman in China enjoys the distinction of having escaped

>Dude gooks/chinks/nips are hot, (autists, 2016)

So? Are you claiming the US DOJ isn't corrupt? How about the people kept in Guantanamo bay (((some under "suspicion" only)))?
That is absolutely not "proof" of fucking anything. There is a possibility that the media lie about it, since they do about pretty much anything.
This is an example of the bullshit people will believe. NKoreans aren't niggers, if they can figure out nuclear plants and rocketry they aren't stupid enough to believe that shit.

Apparently it's illegal but nobody cares because it's just a plant.

vice.com/read/north-korea-is-stoned-all-the-time-which-explains-a-lot

Notice how none of them are wearing makeup.

If you got a picture of a bunch of schoolgirls from Canada without makeup, sure it wouldn't be as bad as 1/100 but it would still be pretty damn bad.

No, the guy who made that claim mistook a different herb for weed.

Still wrong, read the links I posted above.

I wish :( I've been lazy about grabbing new ones recently :C

>we will know soon enough

no. It is paradise, the media lie. North Korea under Great Kim Dynasty is the greatest nation on earth.

yep

A friend was there 2015 and yes they still do it

Got any info on the wildlife in North Korea? I've heard that there's barely any left due to overhunting during famines.

It's funny how you didn't realize the Norway user was being sarcastic.

link to those "illegal" ones? I love NK videos

>Can you really say it's much worse than here?
Please man, stop you're are being real stupid.

It's probably very bad, but also probably not as absolutely hellish as the media would have us think.

N.Korea is a Chinese satellite country. It serves as a buffer from US influence in S. Korea.

That's why the US can't really go in there without Chinese help.

Kim takes advantage and flaunts -- often over-doing it. He gets chided by China to tone it down.

I think if you believe all the 'news' that comes out about N. Korea you have critical thinking issues.

I never thought I would see the day.

The day were even the DPRK noticed the power of meme magic and decided it needed to target Cred Forums for propaganda.

Truely these are the gilded ages

>Is North Korea As Bad As They Make It Out to be?
Of course not. History is the propaganda of the victors and you need to have your people want to go to war before going to war so you have to demonize your enemies.

Given I've met multiple people who actually think this, my default is to take people seriously.

sry im no fun

Pyongyang is currently having a zoo constructed, so we may get to see what shit they've got there. Otherwise their livestock is rare enough to see, not even counting ACTUAL wildlife. I know people who have seen the standard domesticated animals, dogs and all included, but only other wildlife I've seen are birds and bugs.

>Vice.com

>1 post by this ID

...What's the purpose of those?

As the title says, they are torture devices used to root out enemies.

But no they're some bullshit Chinese acupuncture thing.

>t our society seems to testify that individual identity is kinda meaningless in a cesspool of degeneracy where no one has anything in common.

THIS right here... is why the.. let's just call them (((radicals))) attacked religion in all white, western civilizations.

The reason we progressed was BECAUSE of that bond. When we all worked towards these great works.., NOT in the name of egocentric vainglory, but to do so FOR THE GLORY OF GOD (and then Country) it allowed us to achieve higher ideals that simply doing it for self gratification.

Now that that is gone our societies are falling to pieces... and they would have you believe that it is religion and nationalism that was holding us back.

Sad!

>FUN FACT: My parents have been to North Korea and even got me a T shirt and received a personalized DVD edit of their trip, apparently North Korean tourist agency or whatever actually films most of what you do (my parents said they weren't actually aware of being filmed most of the time), then edit it into a "fun holiday" DVD and give it to you before you leave the country.

That is an absolutely genius way to spook people into following directions while pretending to be a super helpful tour guide. Damn. Plus they get to excuse monitoring everyone who comes in 24/7

>still like 1000x better than niggers in African countries

Is North Korea proof that East Asians are superior?

>better than niggers
>Asians are superior

That's a low bar Gook-kim-park

please do, i'd watch

Only difference between African dictatorships and the DPRK is that Asians are inclined to collectivism and simply tolerate the hellishness, rather than constantly overthrowing their regimes.

The extreme centralization of resources, I suppose, also prevents competing leaders within the country from challenging the establishment with frequent regional uprisings.

Never forget the NKbro. Greatest thread of all times.

...

...

>communistical dictatorship
>not bad

So NKboo I've been reading a lot about East Germany and noticed in some of their videos they were flying North Korean flags. How close were these countries back in the day? I know the relationship between Kim Il Sung and the Soviets were a little rocky but I haven't heard anything about how the GDR and DPRK felt about each other.

Really? Abort mission, not entering glorious north korea!!!

Not that I've been there, but i imagine it's bretty bad. People starving all the censorship etc... Even the tours are very strict about where you go and what you see, and if you ask the wrong questions or go to the wrong places its to prison for you. I doubt it's as horrible as the media says but it's probably not that far off.
That's a retarded statement. That would mean that any shithole in africa can be a paradise, you've never been to every country there, how can you know its bad?
>inb4 shoo shoo dirty joo
C'mon use your basic logic, anyone who thinks its a good place to live is more than welcome to leave and live over there, you're no better than degenerate weebs who think that japan is this magical place with school girls and samurais.

No. North Korea is Best Korea.

>/thread

Wow that is an ugly herd.. No wonder Japanese guys would rather watch anime ..

I know basically nothing about this outside of some minor references in some of the NK Kim Il-Sung films. :( If you learn more than def jump in one of these threads and tell me. The more I can learn the better.

Degenerates stay away.

So far all I've really found is the East Germans kept diplomatic ties to the DPRK while West Germany didn't. When the German reunification happened that ended until some years later and now the German government uses the old East German embassy in Pyongyang but neither country have really tried to improve relations much. Here's one video I remember there's a couple instances of East Germans at rallies flying North Korean flags. I also found an old picture of North Korean children visiting East Germany. I mean it makes sense they'd be friends because of the Cold War and both shared a similar situation in terms of there being a split.

Is this the Pueblo?

bump

We literally know nothing about North Korea. If you believe these retarded MSM pieces about them banning sarcasm etc, yet complain that the media lies about everything else, you are retarded.

Double post but I would be interested in having a conversation about North Korea's power in the international playing field and their overall future.

Do you people think war is going to happen?

NK wont go down without a serious fight but its an inevitability

Yes. Ask yourself if China is bad. NK is worse.
Go check it out for yourself if you don't believe me.

After Iran eventually falls to the international Jewry banking cabal, I can only assume NK will be the next and last target.
And with how much we've been indoctrinated into believing that they are an evil rouge state hell bent on nuking the West, it would be easy as fuck to justify an invasion of it, if every other tactic they try fails, that is.

Who knows, maybe NK wont g down without a fight.

Wrong, DPRK has weed everywhere, they call it "poor man's tobacco."
