A Shia in North Korea

[Principality of the Raix]

When a person is praising a regime which has had a 60 year Great Purge resulting in mass famine and deaths, I think it's okay to be ""triggered"" by it.

True, true. But if we should be triggered by such. Than there is more then N.Korea to be "triggered" over. But that is why, specially in a "what if". We should have calm heads and allow calm minds to progress. Becoming "triggered" closes open discussion a lot. Course, if an individual is not triggered. They are less likely to debate, so it's 50-50.

What is it with Juche fanboys who have obviously never been to North Korea who think they can stroll into Best Korea without ending up like Otto Warmbier?

I think using triggered for displeased at a person's opinion is disingenuous here. It has the same level of obnoxiousness that a Wehraboo has when he says "Wow, you don't agree with me that the Holocaust was fake? TRIGGERED haha".
Towards the discussion, I think Iran would would denounce NK's actions to appear consistent in policy. I think a similar situation happened in a gulf country, where Iran basically gave a huge middle finger to the country in question (Bahrain, I think)

And that is why foreign missionaries have never been detained in North Korea and worshipping the Glorious Leader Kim Jong-un is completely optional with no risk of getting exiled to a death camp at all. *facepalm*

This is what someone who's never been to DPRK will say. North Korea is objectively more free than the United States.

My character would agree with this statement 1000000000000000000000%!!!

There's a reason why not even enemies of the state end up defecting to North Korea.

[Sovaal]

I really don't see such a thing happening, but hypothetically, such a person would probably draw the ire of the Nork government.

Hahahaha. Ah man, you guys are hilarious. Yah, the three generations of political prisoners in North Korea are freer then me here in America, where I'm not even imprisoned for saying I hate the government. Just goddam that's delusional.

It looks like the same person who comes here, trolls a little as a Juche fanboy, gets banned, then comes back months later with a new nation to just do the same thing.

Can't say I disagree on the "trigger" word, I just enjoy making fun of it. Besides on the What if, I can see that. Reason I said before on my "what-if" to soothe the tension Russia would get involved like now. Which like now, would piss off china. However, I can see it.

[Rusozak]

I don't think Iran would reaffirm anything. I don't believe there is really such a thing as a "North Korean Ally." There's just states that have a vested interest in making sure N. Korea's enemies don't take it over and offset the balance of power in the region.

Chapter V of the Korean Constitution

Show it in practice, all you've shown is that it seems that Kim Jong Un is unconstitutional.

like one of the fundamental observations of the soviet/post-soviet world is the disdain for constitutions in inverse proportion to the output of constitutions
The high point of eastern constitutionalism ended with Yeltsin sending tanks against the Supreme Soviet

Finally! About time somebody made that clear, well done, comrade.

Comrade Kennlind is completely right, as anybody who has watched this 100 % accurate educational cartoon can testify.

Let's say that a faithful Islamic Iranian decides to become a missionary and tries to spread the word of Muhammad to North Korea, with predictable results. It starts with his family demanding his release eventually leading to large scale protests led by religious leaders demanding that his release be negotiated. Eventually a year later the North Korean government declares the Iranian dead. How do you think the Iranian government would handle this crisis.

Personally while I think Iran isn't the worst country in the world, its behavior since the revolution doesn't paint an optimistic picture for this scenario. Odds are that the Iranian government would reaffirm its cooperation with North Korea, somehow find an excuse to denounce the missionary, and suppress and protests that happen regardless of its leaders piety. What do you think?

I was thinking about Shia LaBouef going to NK, but apparently it's about a Muslim... Shia will get you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0u4M6vppCI

Seriously? None of you thought this thread would be about Shia LaBouef? Damn it NSG, I expected more!

[Luziyca]

I'd say that it'd be a Shi'ite situation all around, in all honestly.

[Albrenia]

We try not to think about him too much.

Please stop making the hard-left sound like morons. Thanks. This is by far the most absurdly stupid thing I've ever heard said on the subject...

He is a dead man no question, just as anyone religious in NoKo.

[Krasny-Volny]

He would most likely be intercepted by the Iranians before leaving Tehran. People tend to forget that the country has a very efficient domestic intelligence service. Since North Korea is one of the few countries that will cooperate with Iran on advanced weapons development, the Iranians would not want anything to jeopardize their valuable relationship with that country. So the moment the imam starts telling a few of his buddies that he's going to go around converting North Koreans he would get picked up by his own government.

Nobody who doesn't work for a tabloid show would care if he went to Best Korea, just like Dennis Rodman.

That's not true. The comics can find the trip quite interesting.

How is being against misinformation confusing?

So far the only sources against "misinformation" you've provided is the constitution of the DPRK and the presence of alternate parties.
The former is meaningless in what's essentially an autocracy, and the latter can very well be puppets of the main party that pretend to be different.

They're independent parties.

I thought you meant living in the DPRK lol, sorry. There is enough on the internet about USA, I'm thankful I don't live there, my friends would all be shot just for existing by the police.

I missed this treasure the first time around.
Funny how someone who's against misinformation bought into misinformation.

Black youths killed by fascist police.

Why would this happen? There is freedom of religion in North Korea.

North Korea is objectively more free than the United States.

NS Summer accounts in a nutshell

I made my first account around the same time you made yours. In fact, we used to be friends. However my views have shifted radically and I do not want to be associated with them or the aliases I went under back then.

I'm not hard left, you're just right wing.

ok seriously why does this happen on every post?
The post is about Theorizing what would happen in a What-if situation. Why does a heated debate over whether or not DPRK is a hell-hole start?

Because they make stupid hypothetical situations that imply something bad would happen.

What is it with Juche fanboys who have obviously never been to North Korea who think they can stroll into Best Korea without ending up like Otto Warmbier?

What is it with internationalist globalist warhawk neocon dick cheney fanboys who have obviously never been to North Korea thinking they can bomb a sovereign country just because their media says they're bad?

I really don't see such a thing happening, but hypothetically, such a person would probably draw the ire of the Nork government.

Read the DPRK Constitution!

Okay, call me a troll all you want. I know I'm right, I know you're wrong.

okay I unironically believe that but it should extend all the way downwards. -8 to -10 is the only real left-wing. everything is else is centre-left/right-wing.
