ok now dont expect some unbiased article because well the first paragraph is this
Quote
Sabine is a YouTube user who, during a visit to family living in South Korea in April of this year, was given a DVD by a man and a woman claiming to be North Korean “defectors”, and was asked to translate the film so it could be posted on the internet and reach a wider audience. What the DVD turned out to be was something much more than Sabine, or anyone else, probably would’ve imagined, and something that certainly has found a widespread audience on the internet over the last month or so – it was a film called “PROPAGANDA”, a documentary about capitalism, imperialism, mass manipulation of western culture for the purpose of commodification, and how it permeates every aspect of the lives of blissfully ignorant, borderline zombie masses.
And jesus, is it on the fucking money.
the first part is some extract the full film is lower down. Is it North korean? who knows maybe maybe not pretty fun watch either way.
i fully agree with the parts about reality tv :D fucking people :/

Doesn't need to be propaganda to point out elemental moral truisms.

It's kinda ironic that this comes from a place where they execute you for retarded things, or put you in labor camps, and people live terrible lives.
edit: IF it's from there, I see people saying that it's not from NK at all
Come to think of it, weren't some DRPK citizens executed because they listened to South Korean media? So imagine them watching all this bling..

This video is basically criticising entertainment. Fiction books also distract you from the "real problems". But at least we don't starve to death around here.
Also, bitch please, I'm hardly aware that such things like reality TV or celebrities even exist. Maybe stupid people watch it, but there are stupid people everywhere, even in NK.
For me, the main (hidden) point of this video is that there is a huge gap between the west and NK, hugely in favor of NK when it comes to education and acheiver mentality. In NK you are educated from the youngest age to be the best and to work hard, even if you don't have any talent (note that the same can be said of SK, although with more freedom). This is like the asian father meme to eleven. In the west, we are rich on average but also have very poor average skills, education and knowledge. We do not tolerate making as much effort, because there are so many ways to get by effortlessly.

well my personal favorite is this, "in my old contry they have told me, that the west wants to attack the east to destroy your way of life. after the fall of the iron curtain they have told me, that the east wanted to attack the west to destroy their way of life." that has brought me to the conclusion that both sides tell lies to me.
anyway, i think this film is not a propaganda video for north koreans but for people outside of north korea.

There is no doubt some truth to what proclaimed communists believe but it is so heavily burdened by lies, so laden with subversion that it becomes an evil in itself.
Ronald Reagan said something like A communist is a man who reads Marx, an anti-communist is a man who comprehends Marx, meaning that an anti-communist is someone who sees communism's true face and its true motives, intentions, and just who ultimately benefits from such an ideology.

I find it funny that North korea is the one telling the truth about celebrities and americans in general.
