Wait, I thought those were banned! The west would never lie about countries they hate!
Hey, can I get a preprint of that counter-paper you’re submitting to the Lancet?
Interesting how the libs are way more doubtful of this than the China leak one, despite this one coming from a major western biomed journal.
Nature approves.
Yeah, the part of the queer community that’s not dead from Nazis.
I’ve realized that unless they specifically say Marxist or ML, chances are they’re just confused liberals.
Isn’t it, like, a mortal sin to oppose the pope?
What’s also ironic is that they always say how violent Squirrel and Hedgehog is, and how it uses the trope of objective good vs objective evil, and the good guys always pull through. While conveniently not mentioning that Japanese anime from the same era has a similar level of violence (you know, the country right next to the DPRK and has quite a bit of cultural overlap?), or the fact that literally every kid show ever has the exact same simplified good vs evil message? The cartoon doesn’t even mention any real countries! It’s in a 100% fictional, fantasy setting!
Also, if you’re going into college level literary analysis to draw comparisons between a cartoon for children and real life politics (like, young children, not high schoolers or some age where you’d actually expect them to understand real politics), aren’t you basically saying that children in the DPRK are way smarter than Western children?
I mean, I’m sure he’s a great guy in-universe. But the fact that he’s canonically a god (he weilded Thor’s hammer) and the protector of literally the entire universe, and libs don’t think that could possibly be meant to say something about how the real America is. Meanwhile, they spend way too much time psychoanalysing any communist show.
I’ve watched reviews of the DPRK cartoon Squirrel and Hedgehog, and the parallels to real life politics they draw are just, a rubber band would snap if you stretched it that far. Saying nothing about how Japanese anime from the same era is actually pretty similar in plot structure and level of violence, is anime from a US supporting country also commie propaganda? It’s also not like those countries are right next to each other, and could possibly have similar cultures that show through in their media, right?
Sorry, it’s not you. I’m just in a salty, ranty mood tonight.
And Captain America isn’t just a superhero. He’s literally, canonically a god, and the unquestioned defender of the entire universe!
When libs analyze a show like Squirrel and Hedgehog (a DPRK cartoon) down the individual pixels in order to prove just how propaganda it is, but apparently what Marvel has is 100% not propaganda?
Redditor is a state of mind. You don’t necessarily have to use the site to be one.
“Everyone who disagrees me is a piece of shit and is siding with tyrants, no I’m not going to actually read their arguments beyond the title.”
And then you get the geniuses at /r/architecture whining “HURR DURR IT HAS NO ORNAMENTATION AND IT’S UGLY AND DYSTOPIAN AND ELON MUSK’S MANSION AT LEAST LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!”
IMO, any country on the business end of colonialism needs to bring the symbols of the indigenous peoples to the forefront if we’re going to start redesigning flags.
Yeah, Western media can be really good at showing the horrors of capitalism, but they almost always just go “well it’s what it is” instead of solving it. Not even fantasy pretend solving it.
“But that’s whataboutism!”
There’s a theory that season 2 is about to reveal that it’s set in the DPRK and is meant to showcase that North Korea is the worst: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=gmEVUxVwUWk (warning, lib video)
Which, if true, makes it libtrash. It’s just a theory though and we’ll have to wait and see.
In general, it’s a pretty good commentary on capitalism and what it forces people to do, but certainly not the best in that category.

This is more telling than they realize.
Personally, I think she shouldn’t be on YouTube for a completely different reason. The internet is actually unsafe for children that young and there are a lot of disgusting pervs on YouTube. You’re not supposed to be on social media till you’re 13, and I think even that is too young, a safer age is probably 15 or 16.
And as we’ve seen here, if you’re from a country the west hates, you’re a target. Even if you’re a child. Not against people in the DPRK posting to YouTube, obviously, but for their safety it should be limited to full adults only.
