While sadly the article is fake, the DPRK's unyielding support for Palestinian liberation is very real, in case anyone didn't know that already.

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 can't believe North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has killed thousands of people for performing the Macarena!
how dare they steal dear leader's dance moves! America would never do something like that, they'd just kill those around the one who steals the dance moves and charge them for crimes not illegal in the home country
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.
Liberals really do think the DPRK is literally Mordor in real life.
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.
Yep! The woman who made the documentary My Brothers and Sisters in the North, humanizing people in the DPRK, was stripped of her ROK citizenship despite popular critical approval of the documentary (from those who saw it).
wikipedia says that she chose to give up her south korean citizenship. lol
was she planning to go back and live in SK?
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.
Yeah it is rather funny the more I read it. Like, just copy the article language or paraphrase it quickly. Reminds me of reading state ballot measures in the us.
She had to do so in order to film the documentary.
collectively suicidal (birth rate wise)
Regular wise too, they have one of the highest suicide rates
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)
I had mentioned, to a lib, how DPRK managed to deal with a flooding they had going on, despite all the sanctions.
This was their response:
I wish they'd actually care about their own more
If they don't bettet themselves they'll actually stop existing or need breeding facilities
Really makes me think I'm wasting my time trying to Deprogram, some of them. Maybe I should just get some of their wealth and use it towards building socialism. Since I don't see them doing it themselves.
or need breeding facilities
Setting aside the weirdness of this comment, the DPRK’s birth rate is significantly ahead of ROK’s, to the point that I wouldn’t entire rule out ROK seeking reunification eventually in order to avoid demographic collapse.
If a hot air balloon can reach low Earth orbit then why are we wasting money on rockets? Just tie those satellites and space station components to a balloon!
I know you're shitposting but I have been nerd-sniped
A) that's basically what weather balloons are
B) orbit isn't a place, it's a speed.
I know. I've put 2000 hours in Kerbal Space Program. 🙂
I don't consider the stratosphere, where weather balloons travel, to be space.
"Made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs" ass writing lol
This actually exists, although the most you can do with it is fly around and take measurements, no near-space stations.
Buoyancy can't take you out of the atmosphere by principle. The stratosphere is fake space! It's under the Karman line.

Super based kim
I like that it implies he tied them himself.
Im not saying that they should but i wouldn't mind hehe
"Headward free now to rise"
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.
