    When I first joined lemmy I didn’t know about the tankie triad so I wandered into a thread where all the hexies were telling me how much more propaganda Americans are fed than anyone else in the entire world, and when I tried to point out NK (because there’s so much propaganda there the citizens aren’t even allowed to see anything outside their country) I got told I was too brainwashed to understand how cool NK was.

    Pretty sure there are still precisely 0 hexies who’ve moved to NK, despite it being the best country on Earth apparently.

      Don’t get me wrong, Americans really are fed an absurd amount of propaganda, and it’s as likely (if not more so) to come from private sources as it is from the government. Watching American media from the outside is a wild ride, and it’s no wonder everyone is so extreme.

      That said, the DPRK is on another level entirely.
