    When they finished executing all those people who watched the show, they executed the people who caught them, for having seen the show too. Then they executed the judges for knowing what a TV show was. Then they executed me for posting about it. (I got better)

            Do all the countries you believe ridiculous things about happen to be enemies of the US that you’ve never been to?

            I was going to add “or met someone from”, but you could probably find a Cuban in Miami who’d say Castro executed their entire family for watching tv.

              You’re a dumbass. North Korea"s treatment of human life is well documented Internationally.

                Eh, I heard the same thing about China, then I went there, and I heard the same thing about Iran, but everyone I talked to who’s actually been there had much more level-headed criticisms of the government than the horseshit the news makes up.

                Its unlikely that NK is a nice place to live, but 98% of the stuff we hear is obviously fake or wildly taken out of context.

                  Highly doubtful. Just read first-hand accounts from the many people that have escaped the country. It is a pretty bleak place to exist. If they literally make it illegal for their citizens to have real Internet, chances are your oppressor is doing some pretty awful things. It’s why the current American fascist regime has “humored” restricting Internet access. Same reason Iran cut off Internet access during their recent unrest where the government killed thousands of civilian protestors.

                    Sure, was this after they required everyone in North Korea get Dear Leader’s haircut, while also executing anybody who got his haircut?

                    Western news sources are not reliable when covering America’s enemies. I will develop an opinion when I talk to people who’ve traveled there, and aren’t in danger of being thrown in prison/executed if they don’t promote the state department line.
