If you call this journalism I swear by Allah I will shoot myself right here - Lemmy

It’s fascinating how the west will claim that the DPRK worships this guy and his every action and bowel movement is mentioned on the evening news over there, but like, the only place actually obsessing over what his personal habits are is the west.
You don’t think his own country is fascinated?
About his eating habits? Not particularly, no.
Like they don’t have photos of them on the wall
They don’t have him carved into a mountain.

Like it would be uncarved? That was created a century ago. Nothing to be proud of. I’m not moving the goalposts, I’m pointing out it doesn’t matter. The point isn’t the statue/picture, it’s the obligation.

They have pictures of the dear leader everywhere TODAY. The point is they are forced to venerate them now.

If it doesn’t really matter, and everything is the same, go to Pyongyang, and denounce then in public. Compare that to denouncing a past or even current president either at Mount Rushmore or on Pennsylvania Ave.

Having a picture of your leader is when you are also when you are obsessed with his every bodily function, apparently.
