Funny how they are dozens of videos on YouTube of DPRK youth performing impressive athletic feats and the majority of comments being like “ohmahgod if she makes one wrong step she’s going to be sent to gulag” or “I feel so sorry for the children who have to live under Kim Jong Un’s totalitarian rule” and none of these racists can make the connection.
Probably because western sports icons are all industry owned plants heavily exploited by the capitalist class as modern day gladiators to waste their lives away so companies can sell ads.
Pretty much every developed society has a way to get kids who show signs of precocious talent into intensive training programs. Ours tend to be run by rich pedophiles so we pretend that everyone else’s is somehow worse as a way to cope with that.
The sheer level of effectiveness of the propaganda effort againse the DPRK genuinely scares me. The west not only managed to completely convince the world that the DPRK is hell on earth, but also convinced the world to believe every single lie they can muster about them, no matter how absurd it is.
And if you dare even question it, you’re deemed crazy.
