I have to admit, they do a really good job with their propaganda production values. By the end even I was excited about the opening of the new fertilizer factory even though I didn't understand a word of it.

I mean that is to be given. Dictatorial regimes like this rely on propaganda to keep the populace from rising up.

Plus, he looked a little off in it too. Like he wasn't feeling well. His movement and behavior was abnormal for someone who is supposedly in good health. Until they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt he's perfectly fine I'm going to remain skeptical.

why would they announce he is alive if they are going to say he is actually dead a few days/weeks/months/w/e later?

I mean, I did not believe Kim Jong-un was dead. While I am a bit skeptical he is completely healthy, and he may have been seriously ill for the past couple of weeks, I am confident Kim Jong-un is still alive.

So mate, you're moving the goalposts.

Regardless of whether or not you trust their government, a lot of information on the DPRK is freely available if you just bother to look it up, and there are people who study and do reporting on it for a living.

Virtually no information is freely available, North Korea doesn't share and doesn't tell aside from clean scrubbed propaganda. The people who report of North Korea do a lot of fucking hard work but still, why the hell do you think everyone thought he was definitely dead the last few weeks?

None of our speculation would have happened at all if Kim just ran a Twitter account. With a constant stream of "pigdog" tier insults and idiotic interpretations of world affairs, we'd know he was still alive the whole time.

Kim Jong Deux - fertilizer plant Kim may be an imposter

Postby Old Zealand Founder » Sun May 03, 2020 7:48 am

I was browsing Reddit just a while ago when I came across this:

https://i.redd.it/2o48j3ezriw41.jpg

The first image is (supposedly) a picture of Kim before, and the second is a picture of Kim from the fertilizer plant. As you can see, the differences are uncanny. Please don't make jokes about the third, I got it from r/memes what do you expect

The Daily Express made an article about it, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt since it's a tabloid.

Because we don't live in the magical world of saturday morning cartoons where good people always look good and evil people are always big nosed ugly hunchbacks. In our reality a persons deeds and personality in general have absolutely zero to do with that persons physical appearance.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

No one's talking about it, so I'll give my thoughts already.

He certainly does look kind of paler and more "decayed" (yes, that's what I said at the time). But other photos from the same video show a Kim Jong-un that's more like the "normal" Kim Jong-un, so I have more doubts.

Plus like the girl does not have to really look good. She is the god dam minister of truth. She gets to tell you how she looks. And if reality disagrees than reality is wrong. It is not a democracy.

I don't know about other people but I just think it would be awesomelicious to have an evil dark queen of North Korea, a she-Sauron if you will that I could point to every time feminists rear their ugly head to claim only men are bad and patriarchy. I mean, just imagine the headlines. Mordor, paragon of gender equality!

Plus she is kind of hot. But that's mostly because of the evil. Like the girl looks like she just sucks all the joy out of any room she enters. Like when she walks out into the street dark clouds obscure the sun, the air takes on a brimstone smell and the deformed leprous forms of the poor claw their way out of their pet ridden dens to grab at your ankles and beg for money.
