Fuck you too Robert.
Anyway I just love how he used that photo of Madeline Pendleton to make her look as unhinged as possible when she is incredibly intelligent and well read. She always has sources for her videos so I don’t know what his problem is, sorry that the DPRK isn’t the hell scape you want it to be. God forbid people share facts about the country instead of Western lies.
Yeah I bet an isolationist country targeted by probably the highest levels of atrocity propaganda in the world is spending lots of effort on tiktok videos to get a few disorganised supporters in the west which would materially amount to nothing even if it were true
I went there as a grad student, had a relatively pleasant experience.
When I came back, everyone tried to convince me that every person I met must have been a paid actor trying to convince me that the DPRK was great so that uh…profit? MAYBE I could see someone making that argument if I was a head of state or something, but I was just a no-name grad student. I was there for months, there is no chance that every person I interacted with was an actor. Can you imagine any country being so insecure as to bend over backwards like that?
Westerners seem to think people REALLY care about their opinion of countries.
Apparently we really should be sending students to Pyongyang to study drama because they must have the best program on the planet with the volume of actors they have.
I also like the implication that the DPRK isn’t using the limited resources they have to… run their country? But instead using those limited resources to try and fool a few thousand tourists a year in what would be the greatest Potemkins Villiage in history.
Most people don’t seem to realize that the DPRK has a population of over 25 million people. That’s roughly The Netherlands + Belgium. Let them watch Dutch news for one night to see how possible it is to completely brainwash a country with that population. There’s riots every single week.
Robert cites Human Rights Watch as a source to “debunk” Madeline but he failed to realize that they are also linked to the CIA so even his “evidence” is tainted and propagandized to hell. When presented with criticism he blocked the person instead of engaging with humility, he has some weird superiority thing going on and its incredibly annoying.
Yea, I’m gonna do a full debunk of this video tomorrow, I only addressed the HRW thing and he already blocked me, so time to dismantle every one of his arguments
Doesn’t the DPRK want normalized relations? I feel a lot more like the imperialists just sanction and media blockade places like the DPRK and Cuba into oblivion and accuse them of isolationism. Its the “Stop being the way we illegitimately portray you!” strategy.
Apparently we all need to be very, very worried about the nearly 650 people in the US that have any level of sympathy toward the people of Korea.
“The USA’s Youtube Propaganda Machine”
It’s always projection.
I love the implication that the DPRK could even pay Western propagandists. It’s not like the most sanctioned country on earth can just Venmo you money. At most you could travel to the southern tip of China and perhaps Pyongyang could put some gold bars on a raft and float it over the Yalu River.

Or you could visit pyongyang.
Nothing is stopping American citizens from visiting Pyongyang. It’s not forbidden or illegal by the US or DPRK. You just can’t travel directly to North Korea with an American passport, and have to travel from China. You also won’t receive any diplomatic help in the case of an emergency.
As soon as I read the title I knew it was going to be Pendleton, she’s clear, easy to understand, and pretty uncompromising about telling the truth on this and some other liberal red line political issues.
Always the most fed looking people.
