      Woah creepy, six people downvoted then big brother deleted my innocuous comment. Is NK running this community? Or did everyone misinterpret my simple observation regarding how strange it is for NK to be so tech savvy while oppressing the majority of their citizens?

        “I made a rule breaking comment, and it got removed! Surely this can only mean that an evil foreign government is out to get me!”

          I have no idea what rule I could have possibly broken. Not allowed to mention North korea?

          Okay there are only two rules in this community, “no excessive reposting” which I’m definitely not guilty of, and “be nice and civil.” What about my comment was not nice and civil? Stating an objective fact about North korea, as obvious as stating there are often clouds in the sky?

          If my comments were removed because they think it wasn’t nice & civil, then NK definitely has its hands in this community.

            It was the chauvanism in your comment. People in the DPRK have access to smartphones, intranet, trains, even a gaming cafe in Pyongyang as of late. This is just nakedly the same way Europeans spoke of Africans at the height of the colonial era. Your insistence that the DPRK has a hand in moderating this community because your racist comment was removed just doubled down on it.

              Oh that’s good to know North Korea is allowed to participate in the modern world now. Last time I heard, government officials were making sure citizens didn’t even have hidden SD cards and anyone found with any technology or media whatsoever were put into prison labor camps and their families too.

                  Ok, I lived in SK for 2 years, and visited NK while I was there. I’ve been fascinated with their situation & appalled with the way the govt treats the NK citizens. I’ve BEEN there. I’ve SEEN it. I’ve been following it all in the news for 20 yrs since I first started living there. Last time I checked, most of the less-favored NK citizens are forced to live in squalor, live off the land with meagre resources, and are not allowed access to any technology. But if that’s changed & things have improved, that’s good to hear. And hey y’all stop attacking ME over this 🙄 Attack president Kim for his atrocities.

                    When you refer to northern Koreans the same way European colonizers refer to Africana, especially those who visited or lived in the colonies, you’re being chauvanistic.
