    In response, SK should send over balloons with a load of fake NK money to devalue their currency further.

    Fittingly symbolic, as this is the first time I’ve ever heard of North Korea ever exporting anything made there.

    Ghengis khan would be so proud of the breadth of their siege…

    But in all seriousness, after reading the article I feel I need to enquire, in a general sense, what in the flying fuck? Did they not own enough garbage to be rid of some more? If so, that’s horrifically depressing. They would need to be so destitute that even their refuse is scarce. Was it even voluntary? Were they ordered to shit in the packages? The complete absence of reasonable causes is distressing. I mean, who chooses to give an entire city a Chicago sunroof?

    “What do you mean you blew the entire budget on developing the balloon?! What the hell are we going use for the payload???”

    That’s perfectly good fertilizer they’re sending over the border, very wasteful of them.

    I think there was a mistranslation of “biological warfare”

    Edit: Jfc, I can’t believe I agree with lil kim

    Kim has called South Korean K-pop a “vicious cancer.”)

    Also, this response is based as fuck, and I can’t believe I’m using the term based because I think it’s fucking stupid, but this is based as fuck.

    Oh, y’all gonna fuck with us and drop letter bombs? Hold my north Korean beer…

    It’s a shit storm.

    I’m gonna shit myself laughing at this

        Eh, it isn’t the music that’s the cancer. It’s just bland pop, no big deal.

        It’s the industry that surrounds it that’s cancerous. It chews “idols” up and spits them out.

          That’s kind of every industry though? Kpop is particularly insidious but it’s right along the lines of child pageantry, game development, and teaching in the US for exploitation. Just because someone else tells you that you have to work yourself into the ground to achieve success, it doesn’t mean you have to actually do it. 9/10 times you’re working harder to make up for mismanagement and being gaslit into thinking you’re the problem. Parents, bosses, whoever thinks they’re the authority, they’re all trying to get you to forget that everyone’s superpower is the power of choice. Someone else can always force your hands but nobody can ever make you choose to do anything. You must agree to be truly complicit.

          Also I saw baby metal the other week. They’re pretty neat and vaguely kpop inspired so kpop gets a pass for now.

    It was dear leader’s personally excreted airdrop gift of much needed fertilizer for starving capitalists down south.
