What they want you to see :
The Reality :
I will spare you with pictures of starving children, people with just skin and bones. But this is what North Korea really looks like outside of central Pyongyang.

| Coal is still the main energy source for DPRK |
 |
| Propaganda poster for children, it reads: 'Let's kill yankees' game is so much fun |
 |
| Electrified fence in a village |
 |
| Behind those nice and big buildings |
 |
| Most of cars in DPRK run by burning wood as fuel |
 |
| Police passing by a dead boy starved to death |
 |
| Typical DPRK village |
 |
| Mercedes for high government officials |
 |
| Kim Jong Il's Royal Palace |
 |
| Various exterior parts of the palace |
 |
| Central hall of the palace |
 |
| A show put on for Kim Jong Il |

Reality is that both are North Korea?
ReplyDeleteAmerica is one of the richest nations in the world and North Korea is one of the poorest. Yet in both countries there are miserable people and people filled with joy.
The Communists have killed millions of people and are truly a blight on this world but the FACT is that both sets of pictures present a view of life that's true in some aspect.
Granted millions more live in squalor than the few hundred thousand who live well but what would you expect? That they show pictures of misery?
I mean in the US are they showing pictures of wrecked industry and housing in Cleveland or pictures of Quicken Arena?
I tried to make a coherent response, but fever ain't helping me with it. So let me ask... what's your point?
ReplyDeleteI think it's a somewhat valid point that he has made by ultimately asking you what YOUR point is. What are you trying to say about NK or what do you hope to achieve by posting these pictures? I suppose this is his question.
ReplyDeleteFever down, logic functions. hooray.
ReplyDeleteMy point is simple. People simply don't know about North Korea. Most people just don't care. I just want people to know North Korea, its political state, human rights violation, or the terrible poverty people live in. Because I don't think this issue has enough attention from the world.
I think Camp 22 makes a much better point on what's going on in North Korea than what's posted here.
ReplyDeleteTrue that. I'll get to Camp 22 soon.
