The best version of this meme I saw it in a brazillian community, where they changed the doctor’s answer for the expected one (Brazil) to “Caralho mano, este bebê fala inglês!” (Fuck dude, this baby is speaking in English!).

I think it’d be Fan Death, although I can’t find whether or not Korea del Norte is on board with fan death or have fans.

You know I was about to make a North Korea joke about infant mortality and the post natal care, but if you believe the statistics (13.9 per 1000 live births, 22 per 1000 at worst), they’re better than 30-40% countries INCLUDING India, and handily at that (32 per 1000).

That said, I don’t know if surviving childhood in NK is more or less cruel.

That’s one of the more believable lies. If anybody is willing to destroy their economy to stop COVID, it’s them.

Rule number two, be really careful believing anything about North Korea in general, positive or negative. For example, a large number of North Korean defector stories have fallen apart under scrutiny, as reported by The Guardian. Then you have media outlets like Radio Free Asia making up stories wholesale, like the Kim Jong Un haircut story which turned out to be totally fabricated but still caught on like wildfire. Or the unicorn story, which also turned out to be complete bullshit.

I’m looking at world bank data that says 7.9? Wikipedia says 22, google search says 15, but none of them claim higher than India at 32. Not even estimates can give good results, but there is a distinct reduction in all sources from 121(!!!) from their 1996 famine.

I think that the main factor in this is how depressingly cramped and polluted much of India is. I’m not Indian nor am I North Korean but North Korea is mostly rural while a lot of India is urban (with slums).

But believe US propaganda outlets? How can “nothing ever come out of NK, it’s so closed off” but at the same time “NK is nuts if you cut your hair you are kill”?

edit: just to make it clear, I don’t believe the numbers NK publicises to the world. They have every reason to not be honest about their numbers, to an Imperial world that wishes to have it annihilated.

Idk what you’re arguing, since you state that you don’t believe the numbers coming from NK. I said don’t believe them, you said you don’t, yet you still seem to have a disagreement.
