Concerning. Looking into it!
lmao these stupid fucking redditors are too lazy to even look up a source
they see some military lookin people put obviosuly prop handcuffs on a kid and they’re like “OH MY GOSH!!!1!1!!” and don’t even look up that this “SAND Institute” is barely even existent
other treasures i found when spelunking in the disgusting sewer known as “”“reddit”“”:
people saying the prop handcuffs were used because “they can’t afford anything else” even thought the DPRK has fucking ballistic missiles
people saying the prop handcuffs were used because the citizens were too hungry to break them, or that the armed guards would shoot them if they tried to run, in that case, why the fuck are the handcuffs even there in the first place
people saying that pro dprk people would say kids deserved that, and then go watch a western movie (???)
I swear that educating people on the history of Korea since the war is one of the most effective ways to radicalize them. As soon as you understand why there even IS a North Korea and a South Korea, suddenly all these stories about K-dramas and unicorns are revealed to be the embarrassing fiction that they are.
I always think this one is a good jumping off point

excvse me, commvnist, but general dovglas “nvke the entire 38th parallel” mcarthvr and his band of merry fascist collaborators were the real freedom fighters and don’t yov forget!
uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
The DPRK is beheading babies who are caught watching k-porn!! Just trust me, that is really happening, guys!!!
well someone’s gotta take a stand
I read an account by a DPRK defector once. He had been given fingernail clippers that were made in the USA. They were so well made, and cut such neat clean lines that they made him despondent, because he knew the DPRK could never make anything that well.
That DPRK defector’s name was Mai-Ass
Wtf they’re nail clippers. If you can manufacture AKs you can manufacture nail clippers. Literally 3 bent and cut bits of polished spring steel, a rivet, and a retaining pin
Nope, in North Korea entire towns share the communal nail clipper or if they dont have that they get the guy with the most teeth to bite them off for them
This almost feels real. Like maybe a small oversight on production lines due to sanctions and the like.
But now Real Korea has their own “Legos”, so who the fuck cares, really.
no communist can withstand contact to the perfected craft of tweezerman cosmetic tools.
Every morning, when I wake up, the first thing I do is drink a big glass of leaded gasoline because I’m an American and it’s my right. The next thing I do is wonder how horrible it would be to live in a country that regularly imprisons children.
Yeah this popped up on the BBC and as usual it was just “video from years ago”, “appears to show” and then some quotes from defectors saying “they shoot you if they catch you watching squid game”. Just hilarious levels of make-believe.
Which is hilarious because Squid Game is implicitly pro-DPRK
Reddit is no different than the elderly sharing Facebook memes.
Gen question, is there any policy against watching foreign media or is it an access issue because of the sanctions?
There’s restrictions on the internet like in China (more strict though), but there is access to foreign media, like with the Pyongyang Int. Film Festival (annual). The reason there are internet restrictions is risk of attack/surveillance and anti-DPRK propaganda, although there is also the angle of access given the DPRK’s development, not to put it down but some areas don’t have much technology.
It’s a shame they weren’t able to smuggle the sound out of the country as well. Especially with how widely spread this video was.
what in the everloving fuck is the SAND Institute? they make it sound like a legitimate organization, but literally the only mentions I can find of it anywhere are either quoting the BBC article or the article itself
these fuckers can just outright make shit up and there’s going to be some rube who’ll buy it, zero questions asked

It’s just rare footage bro you wouldnt have seen it. She goes to a different school
Unfortunately without the ability to understand Korean I can’t Google any info on funding, but if I had to guess I would say NED or US state department.
lmao, I’m checking out the website with google translate and it’s absolutely breaking my CIA meter, this shit looks like one of these fake websites the CIA used as fronts for spies in Iraq
look at their history section, lol
also, in the SAND activities page, there’s a tab that goes into their vast social contribution:
I know that google translate does not give perfect results, but this is hilarious to me lol a completely empty shell of an organization that just sprang up out of seemingly nowhere and somehow has enough credibility to be taken seriously by the BBC, the supposed bastions of quality journalism… get the fuck outta here
This is 100% a CIA front website for spies and defectors in North Korea lol. Hide in plain site I guess. Wonder how long before some south Korean patriot accidentally leaks the list of agents while donating money
SAND in my asscrack :kelly:

Why is the content ubiquitously pirated if it’s legal and totally acceptable in NK?
I could imagine someone unfamiliar with America saying “weed is ubiquitous and nobody gives a shit”, but that’d be a massive oversimplification given we have a metric fuckton of people in prison for nonviolent drug offenses.
Could it not be the case that in NK that pirating and watching foreign media is both extremely common and against the law/lands people in prison?
And if that is the case, then even if this one case happens to be fabricated, there’s likely a ton of cases where people are actually imprisoned for breaking the law, since that’s usually how breaking laws goes. I don’t think it should be against the law to watch foreign media.
Why is the content ubiquitously pirated if it’s legal and totally acceptable in NK?
This is speculation, but I’m gonna take a wild guess and say South Korea refuses to license media to the DPRK so they literally have no other choice but to pirate it. Like if you tried to obtain a PS1 game in the West right now, Sony isn’t selling the vast majority of them any longer so your best bet is to download it from a ROM site.
Thanks for at least giving a plausible explanation instead of tightening your asshole and throwing insults because someone suggested that there might be a flaw with the mighty DPRK like the other commenter who responded to me.
Lol, even why we are civil and provide detailed answers to you Libs who wander in here you still end up bitching about how mean we are to you.

Do you pay for content??
Could it not be the case
there’s likely a ton of cases
I don’t think it should be
Thank you for your feels based analysis
Baking the blurriest jpegs harder than Q.
Uncritical support to DPRK, but that’s a creepy looking room.
It’s like the room you would find and the end of the backrooms, and you’re confronted by t h e m
Considering it’s outdoors, I’m not sure I’d call it a room.
…is it?
It looks like a gymnasium floor with curtains hanging on the back wall
Did you watch the video? There’s trees behind the seating. It looks like an outdoor stage or auditorium.
I didn’t watch the video. I don’t believe in going on reddit
Part of the “backrooms” aesthetic is the grainy quality
