you could make any shit up about north korea and some people would believe it

"North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has declared himself the only person allowed to do the Macarena. A person had been found performing the dance, and has been personally thrown by the leader into a big pool filled with genetically-engineered superpiranhas."

    I'll always comment remembering the one time when a Brazilian guy made a youtube channel prior to the Worldcup 2014, feed it for months with videos from North Korea news and during the Worldcup made some fake videos of North Korea winning their games and winning the worldcup. Every news outlet publish that shit like "Kim Jong-Un is lying to north korean population about the worldcup". Days later he reveal the prank and some altered their news, but some remains.

    I recently learned you cannot express support for NK in SK without a penalty/legal issues. And despite all their Western money (but because of Western influence) they're a country of plastic, superficial, hedonistic, depressed, aimless and collectively suicidal (birth rate wise) people. Jeez. It's gonna be interesting to see the eventual reunification.

    Sometimes people sacrifice things for principles. What's funny about that?

    the funny part is how Wikipedia describes it.

    It says:

    She was the first South Korean director who was allowed to visit North Korea after Korean War without being charged for treason by South Korea, because she has a German passport. She gave up South Korean citizenship and took the German one just for making this documentary and getting a visa and the permission of shooting from North Korea

    The phrasing is a bit odd, but the reference goes to a DW article, the subheading of which is:

    A new film made by Sung-Hyung Cho attempts to give outsiders an insight into life in North Korea. The director, who even had to give up her South Korean nationality to shoot the film, spoke to DW about the project.

    that odd phrasing is what's funny to me because it struggles to find a neutral tone for a clearly authoritarian policy.

    i didn't look at the dw article.

    The account this is putting out straight bangers (btw if you didn't realize, it is a parody news account. The post in the tweet is effectively indistinguishable from actual RFA slop)

    You know, that's probably how I'm going to end up going out...banished by hot air balloon.

    And you know what? I'm think I'm OK with this. What a whimsical way to be executed.
