I do agree with your sentiments re the DPRK however clumsily stated.

This is really a bad place to pick this particular fight. No, Kim Jong-Un would not use a word that is demeaning to the mentally handicapped as a slur against someone’s intelligence. He’d just have them imprisoned, enslaved, or executed, instead.

Gizmodo middle class sheltered people:

I told you already in another post. DRC, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, CAR, etc... You could close your eyes and point randomly and probably pick a worse country to live in than NK.

That’s because you know nothing about Africa you racist fuck. Holy shit are you ignorant. North Korea is the most despotic regime on the planet. No African authoritarian has that kind of power over his society.

What does white privilege have to do with saying retarded? You think POC somehow don't use the word? Idiot

DRC, South Sudan, Sudan, Somalia, etc... I’d say at least I’d prefer to be born in a poor NK family over the poorest 50% of Africa.

posting anything other than the positive propaganda pieces while still inside the borders would endanger his life and freedom?

10x worse? Name a country in Africa or the Middle East where you can’t leave and if you escape your family is thrown into a concentration camp.

So the guy makes one off the cuff comment about how this idiot goes to North Korea and the big takeaway from his trip is that they are fascinated by his hair and have great water parks and calls him a retard. You go off on some tangent about white privilege and call him a scrotum and a fuckstain but hey that’s ok. So…

Thanks for comparing Israel (a country founded by Holocaust survivors) to Nazi Germany (the country that perpetrated the Holocaust)! How culturally sensitive of you.

Oh my god, this guy is such a dumbshit. I just watched that video and it just shows he has no idea about the world. Surfing brings peace?

I’m not accusing him of “not giving a full account of known information”. I’m accusing him of being a willful prop in propaganda for an incredibly repressive government, and I am accusing you of glossing over this fact by using a bullshit “gotta hear both sides” argument in defense of him.

It doesn’t matter if he addressed ‘some of the concerns’. He still willingly produced a propaganda piece for one of, if not THE, most despicable regimes on the face of the planet.

Once you are done knocking down your straw man, maybe you can join the conversation the real adults are having.

That Cole idiot, in the video, talks about not thinking about governments but about the people and loving the people and “breaking down barriers”.

And the whole, “it can’t be as bad as all that” was a great reason for other nations not to intervene in Germany.

It reminds me of the dumbass frat bro from the US that tried to steal a DPNK propaganda poster from his hotel, was arrested, accused of being a US Spy, and read a taped “confession” condemning America and praising the Supreme Leader.

Maybe he’ll post a “real” video about his experience there once he’s home and free?

He only cares about views and $. That’s the way with a lot of Youtubers. There are some that I used to watch before they hit it big, then once they realized what they got, they changed and became all promotional and all about $ and views. I’ll quit watching them, find other up-and-coming vloggers, and the same thing…
