My mental stereotype of north koreans might be wrong but I picture them as hicks who’ve never even seen a computer or smart phone. Imagine being that backwards and being thrown into a cutting esge drone war
I don’t regret logging out of my Lemmy.ml account, not seeing confidently incorrect racism be constantly upvoted on .world has been wonderful for my productivity and mental well-being.
Their statement is “I might be wrong but here’s a wildly racist stereotype anyone can look up and disprove, and I fully believe it.” Fucking liberals.
My mental stereotype of North Koreans is that they’re all super jacked and athletic from pulling trains all day and regular military training to stave off the Great Satan, and that they casually perform feats of incredible strength and dexterity for little more than shits and giggles.
My mental stereotype of North Koreans is as a wheel intersecting a wheel, sparkling like topaz, rims high and awesome and full of eyes all around.
Biblically accurate Kim Jong Un and it’s a JRPG final boss.
My mental stereotype of North Koreans is this
Josef Stalin standing strong and smiling at an American puppet regime (except that’s Song Kang-Ho in Joint Security Area (2000))
That thread is like a bizarro world Hexbear where instead of celebrating death upon the whiteys and unlimited genocide on the first world, they’re just boring old racists. We’ve flipped their racism on its head so thoroughly that going there and reading it feels downright exploitative, it’s so primitive and boring. They even linked the DPRK army orchestra playing Killing in the Name Of video, as if it wasn’t cool as hell? We literally live in opposite versions of reality.
Oh, also, they’re unironically Hitler. Sometimes you forget that the “unlimited genocide on the first world” meme is a sarcastic inversion of the sentiment these groyper fashoids hold in earnest.

I thought that video was a composite of a video of the DPRK Army Orchestra and the audio of some other orchestra playing “Killing in the name of”.
It is fake IIRC, but is cool as hell nonetheless.
Honestly it would be so cool if it was real. It’d be like how when people say Winnie the Pooh is banned in China then you show them people having fun in the Winnie the Pooh part of Disneyland Shanghai; someone says “uhh actually they don’t have any Western media in NK” yeah ok buddy then explain this!
My go-to is We Went to North Korea to Get a Haircut.
My issue with using this video as agitprop is that the subtlety of all the liberal aussies jerking off about their individualism and their unique self expression, while all ironically sounding exactly the same and having the same haircut, would 100% be lost on the target of the agitprop. We need more blatant agitprop, this cinematic, poetic irony stuff is never gonna work on pre-sapient westerners.
See, more blatant agitprop usually just gets filtered and ignored IMO.
I mean, as much as the “MAGA Communism” people are disgusting fascists who share almost nothing with us, their ability to convince some limited number of reactionaries that communism is good (and the weird, revised version of communism that is more like what American history books teach than reality) despite being very blatant about the symbolism and the language of their movement needs to be studied. I think that the prevalent pipeline theory of leftist radicalization, where people need to be held by the hand to become socdems first, then demsocs, gradually getting more radical in several steps, is not necessarily complete and could be complemented with an understanding of cases where being exposed to a radically different mode of analysis and ideology can be convincing to someone who currently feels they don’t have a system through which to understand the world.
But yeah, if you try to quote Lenin to a very self confident lib you’re probably going nowhere. Those people need to learn humility first, which is why I support an American century of humiliation
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
It’s as fake as the video of the Ukrainian military band playing the Cruel Angel’s Thesis (which is to say, yes, it’s a composite)
Good thing the North Korean troops brought along their national flag to flaunt in this war they are being secretly deployed in.
They must have just bought it from Temu and had it shipped to the frontline too, considering it still has all the folds and creases from being recently shipped.
That is so clearly a cheap shit flag bought off alibaba or similar, no flag that’s being used in the field is that creased. This is embarrassing.
I have flags I’ve used at one rally that are less creased.

Suuuuuuure
nazi to nazi communication
theyre claiming bodies after like a week? That seems fast to get foreign troops onto the battlefield.
