Bugmen were made to be opressed, they accept it.
South Korea has had like 5 military coups, however.
state was too secure. There were several coup attempts/plans made within the army but they were all shut down
>Bugmen were made to be opressed, they accept it
Is that Kim Jong Il?
Yes, these ugly chud can’t seem stop projecting.
Bro, stop being racist. Stop making fun of Asians for having squinty eyes.
i think he meant that they are chuds in the sense that they won't rebel
the dprk is interesting tbh. i wonder how bad it was before the soviet collapse
I’m just wondering how long it’s going to continue to survive. That regime can’t possibly hold out much longer, although they’ve been through unbelievable famine
ill predict south korea becomes worse first when their american daddy money shrinks while the dprk becomes more like vietnam and china
this is going to happen, the South is aging too rapidly
if the Koreas reunified today, the stolid South would be completely economically mogged by the dynamic North in 20 years
All they need is one Deng xiaoping-esque reformer to take office. Who knows if they’ll ever get one however.
If North Korea is such a paradise, why not move there?
i wanna go to japan
I already live in the greatest country in the world, the United States of America.
japan is the best country
No it's a giant nuclear waste disposal facility.
Don’t you meant Ukraine or random Pacific island?
I don't speak Korean fricknose. I'd gladly move to Cuba if I had the resources to secure a home over there.
you literally can, they hand out homes for uni educated people
what's the best country for NEETs?
If you can get trips, you can successfully neet out anywhere.
mind you this is all if you actually study/work there
but hey hot communist mucho grandes bunda babes waiting for you
Finland
why?
Best gibs (according to what I heard on IQfy), most amount of money per month on the disability check
i heard in finalnd you can kill a person and get to be rehabilitated in their hotel prisons
Not uni educated yet, I just started actually. I'm thirty and agtwr putting it off for over a decade I finally got student loans here in Canada and am doing school. So maybe after I'm done - my girlfriend would also love to move to Cuba except she doesn't speak Spanish, but I can help her learn if I have a few years. I wish I could take advantage of Cuba's free post-sec education, but that's okay.
god damn, without fail every commie is a loser
Link? I'm interested.
holy fu a real chud
If you’re actually dumb enough to try moving there, you’ll see they don’t allow immigration aside from political arrangements and officially justify it with the logic of “western refugees have a responsibility to fix their own shitholes before fleeing to our glorious nation to exploit our benefits”
>any day now
Why don’t you have a nice day, Tankoid?
I will kill myself the day North Korea ceases to exist.
>nooo you can't just reject globalization entirely as a nation
>nooo you can't develop nukes to stop the west from trying to destroy you again
>nooo you can't seek reconciliation and reunification without the permission of the Amerifat world order
>your terrible society will surely crumble any day now
Get a grip anon, whatever shitty country you live in is way closer to collapse than the DPRK.
>country whose entire existence has depended on Soviet/Chinese gibes
Tell me what happens when China loses patience with their moronic little racial-supremacist Monarchist gulag and cuts off trade. Stupid manchild tankoid. God, I fricking loathe tankies. The most impossible people on earth.
>Tell me what happens when China loses patience with their moronic little racial-supremacist Monarchist gulag and cuts off trade.
NK collapses and gets absorbed by China, the Kim dynasty is punished for betraying the principles of Marxism-Leninism and China is now poised to absorb worst Korea
is that bad?
meds.
>they’ve been through unbelievable famine
there was ONE famine between 1994-98, half of this thread reads like dumb glowBlack person posts
North Korea will never fall so long as China exists. It's the only buffer between them and Western-aligned powers to the South. They'd sooner watch the Russians starve and colonize North Korea with Han Chinese.
China feeds and powers NK just enough for it to stay afloat.
Just like Cuba it probably was better when the ussr funded it
Maybe worse. Most of the stereotypes people have of NK, what they think it is, applied more to the 60s-70s-80s than what the place is like nowadays.
The stereotypes come from the 90s under Kim Jong Il, during the decades you've listed, the country was far more stable, and at times, while hard to believe now, had higher living standards than the south.
Less bad because Russia was bankrolling the regime and bailing them out with food and supplies as necessary.
Everyone who could do the coup got poisoned pretty much
>animeland is fricking gay, i wanna live in Best Korea (only Korea)
Because a coup wouldn't benefit the North Korean elites. They would lose their jobs and high-status positions if they reunited with South Korea. They would also probably be punished for crimes against humanity.
>the only possible reason to coup would be reunification with Worst Korea
maybe they just want to be the top dog instead of their boss?
It’s too risky to even discuss because anyone who you want to recruit could report you either due to loyalty or a desire to elevate themselves
Regime has never been in danger enough for it to happen. Now the Paektu bloodline stuff is so intense that it would be very difficult to remove a Kim.
KJU is a total puppet with no power at all, the army dudes run everything. He's not his father and grandfather.
prove it
Then how come he killed his brother?
>The Kim family, referred to as the Mount Paektu bloodline in the ideological discourse of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK)
kek
the evolution of communist regimes is truly fascinating to observe
Kim is a common surname, so it's not surprising they'd adopt something more unique, imagine being ruled by a hereditary dynasty of Smiths.
>imagine being ruled by a hereditary dynasty of Smiths.
I would rather not go back to the old house.
Coups are rare to begin with in socialist states and Kim il-Sung did a great job consolidating power.
It's a workers’ utopia.
The mainstream meteor has been lying to you the whole time.
why doesn't it just become a part of china?
they're too nationalistic for that. China has unsuccessfully tried a few times to convert Pyongyang into a client state, most recently when they tried to coup KJU with his uncle and he got fed to dogs.
nobody cares, chinkspammer. No one will ever care.
Given the spergery and formatting I'm guessing that's the Sinoschizo getting pissed about Korea for some reason?
some north korean defectors and one south korean actually went back to the north is south korea actually that bad?
it’s very hard to integrate into different East Asian societies if you weren’t born into them. Chinese might be welcoming often but Koreans and Japanese will always treat you coldly, like an outsider
then why do people fetishize korea and japan so much?
Exoticism. Japs are equally fascinated with Americana cowboy culture because it’s a faraway and unfamiliar culture. There’s a subculture of fashion in Tokyo where they dress in California Latino clothing because they think it’s cool, sort of like a reverse weeaboo for beaner street culture
I've never seen a gyaru in the west though.
Because gyarus in america are just your standard prostitutes
We already got bimbos, it’s the same
You've never seen a sheboon before?
hey yeah, is your mom still working?

I am a foreigner living in Korea right now. It's not that Korean people are cold to me, it's just that they are nervous and feel awkward speaking to people who are foreingers. Also you're being completely stupid. If you're a foreigner, you're an outsider. So why would someone treat you like you're not an outsider if you are an outsider? It would be one thing if I spoke perfect Korean, but I don't. And if someone came to my home country and was obviously an outsider, I would treat them like they were. That doesn't mean I would treat them badly, I would just treat them differently.
Anyway, Koreans have been quite kind to me. They constantly invite me to their churches, and a lot of times they give me food randomly. Like straight up produce and snacks when I go. They have a sincere culture and while they do treat me like a foreigner, they still treat me favorably (I'm American) and try to interact with me.
Like I have random people in church approach me and try talking to me, even using translation apps, everything, they're just really nice. But when you're out in the street they tend to leave you alone because they in general are more shy about trying to speak English and all that, and they know you don't know their language.
why are you in korea?
I work here. Actually, I like it so much that I want to continue living here for the forseeable future. I have some business to take care of in the states, but everything I want to do is also possibly to do here, like continuing to study and contributing to some ministry.
you will always be an outsider though, do you have foreigner friends?
>they give me food randomly. Like straight up produce and snacks when I go
Yeah they’d just give me food too. I didn’t realize it was a normal thing there. I did a research program for two months at a Korean university and on some weekends I’d just go out and walk or bike as far as I could. Some guy gave me a peach and this woman told her son to give me a can of melon soda. I was like kamsahamnida but also wtf. For me it didn’t seem like people were cold or nervous at all. There were several times when people would just come up and try to start a conversation or randomly ask me to sit at their table. I hear complaints about xenophobia but hey, that’s a lot friendlier than I’ve ever seen Americans treat random foreigners
North Korean defectors face huge discrimination in the South and in general they can't adapt to its society. Making their own life decisions instead of following orders is too much for most of them. They also tend to have no skills or education that's of any value in a modern globalized economy. You think you're going to get a job at Samsung with the 1960s Soviet science textbooks you read in school?
you say that like there aren't any NEETs in south korea
Kims are just military warlords giving the military primacy of place so why would the military coup them? Militaries don't care about the citizenry, they only care about that which enriches them and increases their own power. This is why most of the Founding Fathers were deeply against the idea of a standing army, by the way.
Because the military is already in charge. Wjy would they stage a coup against themselves?

The Tokyo High Court on Tuesday upheld a life sentence handed to a man by a lower court over the 2017 murder of a 9-year-old Vietnamese girl, rejecting the defense’s claim that DNA evidence was collected through illegal means.
The court rejected an appeal by Yasumasa Shibuya, the 49-year-old former head of a parents group at Mutsumi Daini Elementary School in the city of Matsudo, Chiba Prefecture, finding that evidence collected and used to convict him of the murder of Le Thi Nhat Linh, who was a third-grader at the school, was admissible.

Yasumasa Shibuya | KYODO
According to the Chiba District Court ruling in July 2018, Shibuya abducted Linh with his vehicle while she was on her way to school on March 24, 2017, then went on to sexually assault and strangle her before abandoning her body near a drainage ditch in the city of Abiko two days later.
The district court sentenced Shibuya to life in prison on the basis that DNA matching his was found on the victim’s body, while the DNA of blood in his vehicle matched the girl’s.
But at a trial last November, the defense team argued cigarette butts used for DNA profiling should be excluded from the evidence as they were obtained without a search warrant. They asked that the sentence be quashed and Shibuya acquitted.
Prosecutors countered that the investigation method was legal as the cigarette butts had been discarded and were found among the defendant’s garbage at an unlocked collection site by the road.
In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that there was no issue with police collecting garbage from a collection point on a public road as the owner had abandoned possession of it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Lindsay_Hawker
Lindsay Ann Hawker (30 December 1984 – 24 March 2007) was a 22-year-old British teacher who was killed in Japan in early 2007 by Tatsuya Ichihashi (市橋 達也, Ichihashi Tatsuya), a 28-year-old Japanese man from Chiba Prefecture. Ichihashi was seen fleeing his apartment,[1] and police sought him for the murder of Hawker and the abandonment of her corpse.
On 10 November 2009, Japanese news media and BBC News reported that the police had apprehended Ichihashi.[2][3] On 5 July 2011, Ichihashi confessed to killing Hawker, stating that he smothered her to prevent her from screaming while he raped her.[4]

According to the Consulate General, there was a video recorded by a Vietnamese on social network on August 2 which showed a young man was assaulted and died after being pushed into a river in the Namba area of the Japanese city.
Upon receiving the news, the Consulate General contacted Osaka police and sought information from the Vietnamese community in the Kansai region to verify the incident.
Initial information revealed that the victim was a student who had completed a Japanese language course at a school under the Ashiya International Academy and was applying for temporary visa to stay in Japan.

Japanese bosses sexually harass Vietnamese woman employee

A Vietnamese woman working for a Japanese construction company took a stand against the daily sexual harassment she faced on the job. She was summarily fired. One expert says this is not a rare experience for female foreign trainees in Japan.

Foreign trainees in Japan face sexual harassment and abuse
"The president of my company asked me in Japanese if I would swallow his sperm. I didn't understand what he meant. But when I got home, I looked up the word in my dictionary. I felt sad and humiliated."
That, says one 30-year-old Vietnamese woman, is when her traineeship in Japan began to fall apart. She spoke to NHK on the condition of anonymity.
The woman came to the country in the summer of 2018 and began to work for a construction company. She had been told that her job would involve inspecting products. Instead, she was assigned to actually assemble steel bars at construction sites. But that wasn't the worst of it. Most of her colleagues were men, and the sexual harassment began almost immediately. Her supervisors, and even the president of the company, would touch her inappropriately and force her to watch pornography.
In the spring of 2019, around eight months after she started her traineeship, a male employee groped her buttocks while on duty. She grabbed a nearby steel pipe and threw it at him. She was fired that day.
"I tried to explain to the bosses why I threw the pipe, but no-one would listen," she says.
The firm filed a report with the organization that arranged her placement, stating that she "doesn't follow instructions of her supervisors and repeats problematic behavior at the workplace." With more than two years left in her term as a trainee, she was suspended from the program and told to return to Vietnam
A Vietnamese woman
A 30-year-old Vietnamese woman spoke to NHK about the sexual harassment she was subjected to while working in Japan as a technical trainee.
The president of the firm told NHK that he didn't believe his actions constituted sexual harassment.
"I may have said and done things that could be taken as obscene, but they were meant as jokes," he says. "

Tragedy strikes a 20-year-old student
Nguyen* was only 20 years old when he took his own life. He had come to Japan in search of an education and a better future. Instead, he became one of a troubling number of Vietnamese immigrants losing their lives in Japan.
Nguyen's parents had borrowed 10,000 dollars to pay for his studies. That's more than 3 times the average annual income in their country.
Contrary to what some may believe the Kim dynasty is pretty competent at staying in power
Because Based Koreans wouldn't accept it.
there allegedly was in 1996 or around there, but the idea that it happened at all is in debate.
Also the very large personality cult of the Kim family and the fact that no one around them wants them to collapse meaning no outside support for any potential coups, it would have to be entirely internally backed and supported
>there allegedly was in 1996
Source?
i can't remember exactly, some corps in NK was liquidated around that time and many reported it as an attempted coup, maybe the V corps, i can't remember. Like i said the idea that it was because of a coup attempt at all is not something which is agreed upon.
i've not read about it in years and it's probably just fallen into background noise among all the rest of the hyperbolic "news" and reports about NK
I know initially Jong-Il was not popular, he was basically a NEET in charge of a country, spending his days watching films, ordering film makers to be kidnapped from Japan, and then trying to create his own kino.
Il-Sung was basically their Mao, and Jong-Un seems competent enough (I don't know if his toning down of the dictatorship is his own choice or his generals have amassed power), but Jong-Il was a particular Gaddafi tier crazy we'll never see again.
Well, unless Putin's dementia gets worse.
Kim Jong Un might very well be the only fat man in the country
