not joking, i know someone who visited the dprk and one of the places where they make those posters. then the visitor politely asked and was allowed to take some of them home. the friggin hand painted originals!
my biggest (maybe) delusion is I could go to North Korea and be fine on account of I treat people like humans
You'd be totally fine. Plenty of people do it and have done it with no issues. Boy Boy made a great video out of their trip to the DPRK. There's nothing dangerous about going there at all

I'm jealous
This is what westerners can’t comprehend. When they were allowed to travel to the DPRK they would gawk and stare and ask questions like “do they shoot you if you don’t pray to Kim Il Sung ten times a day?”. North Koreans aren’t brainwashed bumpkins. They are arguably more emotionally healthy and inarguably more well versed in the world around them than Americans. You get treated like that by some random gringo from Omaha, yeah you’re probably gonna be a little rude to them. That’s better than what those American tourists deserve.
If you want to break a libs brain about Warmbier, tell them the Trump regime bribed his parents into not having an autopsy so he could ratchet tensions with North Korea. It's not a lie.
Ya I literally don't get the no autopsy thing. Did the Trunp administration really push this?
“No autopsy” is literally a murder mystery trope that immediately means there was a cover-up
It's pretty shocking that they also tried to fly him straight back to the US instead of to a hospital in South Korea for treatment. Maybe things would've turned out differently if they'd done that?
what's the context? who is it?
Also in addition to what others have said, this wasn’t just a poster in some random hotel. It was a poster from a specific floor in that hotel that was used for official military purposes, has restricted access, and he was told explicitly NOT to go there.
Also very funny:
That time the Singaporeans sentenced a cracker to 6 lashes of a cane for vandalism. Bill Clinton personally intervened and pleaded for leniency so the kind Singaporeans reduced his sentence - from 6 lashes to 4.
Also the Aussies pitching a fit every time one of their crackers gets a death sentence for bringing drugs into Bali.
This is just vibes and not a real analysis from me, but the death sentence for drugs thing really bums me out. Ya I know we're settlers, but the guys doing trafficking are usually poorish and in a bad spot in life. I haven't thought this out, so don't @ me if I'm 100% wrong.
Isn't this just the "I was poor so I had no choice to join the military and kill even poorer brown people" sentiment?
Why does someone who choses to externalize their suffering on even less fortunate people deserving of any sympathy at all? Indonesia is a poor developing country with insufficient addiction support resources. Trafficking drugs and supporting organized crime in countries like that is absolutely going to get people killed.
I don't really agree with the death penalty either, but I really struggle to play my tiny violin when the fucking whitey colonists act like they can't be held responsible for the very widely known consequences of their bullshit.

Singapore is part of the imperial core, a capitalist country with limited freedom of speech and assembly. It isn't based to beat a teenager until the point of bleeding for doing his part against car culture, even if the teenager in question was an asshole. This is just like cuckservatives gleefully getting precum in their adult diapers when teenagers in america get shot by the police or small business owners for theft, even if you can argue that such *examples are not comparable since the thefts were out of necessity while Michael Faye was being a little shit. Its just not right for capitalist "civil society" to physically punish the youth.
Also the Aussies pitching a fit every time one of their crackers gets a death sentence for bringing drugs into Bali.
Indonesia is also a capitalist country which, with Australia's help mind you, performed an invasion and genocide of neighboring East Timor to destroy their socialist government. Even if the Australian "people" who go there to "party" deserve slow painful deaths, such retribution should be meted out by the people, not the fascist government.
Waaaahhhhhhh white people can't face consequences for their actions unless a government of the exact form I like is dishing out those consequences.
Maybe crackers should have thought about that before killing, raping, looting, and enslaving their way across the entire globe for the last half millennium.
It is always self defense to beat a cracker.
I do wonder if they’ve managed to avoid the white worship that plagues their neighbors
Their movies have a big Amerika bad theme. I pray they do.
