This stuff almost sounds too over-the-top to be believable. I can't imagine a citizenry that would submit to weekly "self criticism" sessions.
The more you learn about North Korea, you'll see that nothing is over the top, because the people haven't had access to non government information for generations. They are trained from birth to expect an invasion from the starving hordes of the world, who want to loot the riches of North Korea (they're told the rest of the world is even worse off than they are, that's why they must guard it jealously.)
Here's an interesting fact: At every North Korean grammar school, there is a stuffed man near the playground. He is dressed as an American soldier, and has a sign or is painted with the words 'U.S. soldier' in Korean. Whenever they enter or leave the school, they are required to strike the effigy, and curse it. This is allegedly so that the North Koreans never forget that America is to be hated above all else, for the suffering they caused in the war, and the evil they will do if they invade again.
That's just the tip of the iceberg, propaganda wise.
You must not of seen the "display" of thousands of NKoreans chanting in unison and snapping their heads all together during the Madeline Notalsobright visit - scary - and "that's control"
I can't imagine a citizenry that would submit to weekly "self criticism" sessions.Well, if Hillary is ever elected president she will probably propose something similar for all Freepers. Of course, we won't submit.
