I was doing a little more "research" into North Korea, and was watching a lot of the propaganda stuff on youtube. With stuff like this, or this video, or even this, it'll help you to start understanding a little bit of the mentality that many North Koreans have. Because there, you're fed stuff like this day in and day out, and because you don't get CNN, Fox News, or anything else that isn't controlled by the state there, of course you'll get a biased view. So therefore, is it that much of a surprise to anyone that North Koreans think that the US is a bully and is the reason why the Korean penninsula remains divided? Of course, they don't get told that the Soviet Union, their sugar daddy, collapsed a few years ago, and China is slowly reverting back to capitalism, just that all their ills is because of the US.

I gotta say though, for all the starving and suffering the North Koreans are going through, they sure put on some awesome shows :D This will definitely make for some interesting stuff to study later on as to how to make propaganda work.

EDIT: Youtube seemed to be down when I posted this stuff, so here's one, and another one, and a military parade video from Google video.

You lie, you bourgeois bloodsucker! The DPRK is a socialist paradise. You can see so yourself just by reading news from the KCNA. Just go to NK News (easier to search than the KCNA website). I recommend the Hall of Fame, you'll find some true gems in there. There's even one where the KCNA practices "investigative journalism" to find out who is responsible for the few shortcomings of the north korean government. Who said they were just a propaganda tool?

The suggested searches are also good for a few laughs, especially that bargraph for the word "birthday".

Of course, the very style in which these articles are written will tell you more than the content about how well north korea understands the rest of the world, or at the very least, the english language. Let's just say that the KCNA has a very... unusual writing style.

a little scary to see some one actually talking about attacking north korea. Actually very scary. Such thinking is irrational to say the least.

Think of the geopolitics of that area. such as China.

And also that North Korea is a paper tiger on its last legs. It can be beaten economically with would involve a lot less bloodshed.

Double Post:
gecko3, i have to say this. your profound lack of understanding of politics and history is only matched by your lack of sensitivity.

to beat N. Korea economically would require China's cooperation. Lets figure out how to get that

Looks like North Korea is backing down from its stance by wanting to restart talks... Darn, I honestly thought something cool was going to happen. Geez, no more talk and more action!
