They paint letters on kids as soon as they're born

I answered my own question - it's a poor translation for 99.9% literacy rate.

What does this mean?

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it -3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"Democracy" has nothing to do with "free healthcare" or any of those things listed. Democracy only means that the citizens vote. They can vote for stupid/bad things but it's still a democracy. Similarly, a dictatorship that does some good things is still a dictatorship

Would you consider what we have in places like America to be democracy?

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What you have in America, I don't live there. But yes, I do, just a bad one. And if you believe in this meme I raise you another one: would you consider Kim Jong Un a democratically elected leader?

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not even gringos think they have a democracy lmao. And if you do, your opinion of what a democracy is should only be used to consider the opposite.

Democracy = good stuff, communism = bad stuff

Lol imagine being so brainwashed that you don't uncritically believe when USAID funded outlets tell you North Koreans are so ~~genetically~~ intellectually inferior that they honestly believe Kim Il Sung is god, was the best sportsman ever at everything, and he's immortal now? Dude they literally make them pull trains by hand because they're so poor, I heard somebody say it!

All the hours and weeks and months and years of footage is all faked tho
