Kim does weekly suprise inspections of weapons factories, units, even farms on a almost weekly basis. They have what amounts to a weekly reality TV show where he shows up at a random place, inspects everything and gives his opinions on how they react to him showing up and how he thinks they are doing.
Is it a good idea for a leader to visit his weapons factories and units to make sure they work like this? I imagine it can be never wracking to suddenly have God show up and start yelling at you about the lack of workers blankets, why the sight on the latest rifle wobbles or why the latest missle launcher hasn't been powder coatedbut it does keep them on their toes. I can't but think that Kim pays more attention to his MIC than Putin does. Is it good idea? He is micromanaging by some standards but it seems to be working.

First thing that comes to mind
He already has nukes, he isn't Quaddfi (PBUH).
He has something way more important to be pissed off about right now namely that someone fucked up and ruined his tidewater reclamation project and by their own admission flooded 27,000 acres of rice and corn with sea water.
Don't get worried that Kim Jong Un is building a few more nukes or a few hundred tanks more than he did last year, got worried because their state media is showing him getting really pissed off over a failed crop that his underlings ruined due to mismanagement of a stratigic non military project.
Does he look like a happy Kim in this KCNA picture?

Note: Click on the camera icon next to the header on the right to see the pictures, the DPRK stopped designing websites in the late 1990s and only use a propriatary version of Linux for their entire web.
>the DPRK stopped designing websites in the late 1990s and only use a propriatary version of Linux for their entire web.
I envy that so much.
They really are the best Korea, aren't they?
It really is pretty awesome, the sites are easy to navigate and are almost impossible to 'spoof' or fake. Because their self contained web is so simple they can't really fake stuff, they just go balls to the wall with their web design. Their entire web is only about 500 sites and most of it is just archives of educational stuff, the rest is a bulliten board that their universities use. It's the internet from 1992, but Juche internet. .
I think that the reason it works is that it is so small. The best run nation on earth is Liechtenstein but that is a tiny abslout Monarchy run by a copetent and fantasticaly wealthy ruler. The DPRK has 25 million people and reasonably competent dictatoprs who have been doing it for a while, i think they are becoming Monarchs that actually care and are becoming competent.
Note that since the Korean war they haven't had a war since, the Kim's have kept peace. Also they are capable of defending themselves if need be despite having most of the world wanting them dead. i like that.
Old article but it is very basic but functional:
https://koryogroup.com/blog/naenara-exploring-a-north-korean-computer-internet
It is based on Linux, any windows or Mac functionallty is a built in app like how it auto spell checks words like KIM and puts it in bold letters one size bigger than the text.
I like how it's small enough that if someone fucks up the leaders will fix it, even if it is a Kim showing up in your flooded rice paddy. This is way past that point, Kim should not be that damp and is probably really pissed off.
Are you Korean?
No, but i would become one if i could get Publeo tour guide GF but that is illegal.
I just like them for sticking to their guns (literally) and telling everyone else to fuck off. How often does history record a people who face down the entire world and survive? I respect them.
Also they have good style.
the people "sticking to their guns" is just a minuscule privileged minority mantaining a braindead system using terror and persecution
the rest of NK is just 24.9 million of starving, paranoid, ignorant dirtmunchers who can't even fathom the idea of dissent
you're a fucking retard idolizing a corrupt shithole because you interpret reality with the brain of a fucking child
I think it's mainly a Mao-style thing where he shows up and looks at the rocket and asks them a few questions about how they did it, and whatever the answer is, he says whatever they did is good. It's kind of like being an encouraging mommy. Xi also does it:
I've heard they're actually nice people once you get to know them.
500-650 of the top generals, officals and factory managers in the DPRK are either direct blood relations of the Kim Dynasty or married to a direct blood relative with children who will become direct blood relatives. If your union does not produce a directblood relative you get divorced.
Party membership and rights to live in a big city like Nampo or Pyongyang are at dependant on 12 years of military service in a system that promotes officers from NCOs.
It's a very well organized gangster state that combines the best qualities of a Monarchy, the Yakuza, a fuedal state and a nuclear armed 25 millon man missile factory. It might suck but it works. If you lived there you would be working or fertilizing a ditch.
I think they are just big chinese excavators, they are reinforcing a tidal barrier so the rocks they are on top of are pretty big. It's a huge excauation project, both Kims have done them. It's a tidal barrier to create a fresh water river delta.
>I've heard they're actually nice people once you get to know them.
I've never seen an account where they were not besides the obvious combat siduations. Every one of them seems like nice people, they just have hard lives and wish everyone would leave them alone. Obviously they have perspecive issues but the people seem really nice, also apparently it is illegal to be a ugly girl in the DPRK.
I don't understand why they are supposed to be a threat, they should be our allies.
>also apparently it is illegal to be a ugly girl in the DPRK.
There are no korean women in DPRK? How does that work?
>also apparently it is illegal to be a ugly girl in the DPRK
Like South Korea, they just hide the ugly ones and make them work in back offices and shit.
This isn't unlike a western mcdonalds, take a look at the fry cooks and the cashiers, the pretty teenage girls are always on the register.
>tfw you'll never rail that slampig til she squeals
You just know what she really wants is to be submissive to the BWC from some GI. All the behavior in public is just a front to avoid embarrassing her family.
I wonder if she is secretly a huge bitch under the nice girl exterior.
>also apparently it is illegal to be a ugly girl in the DPRK.
...huh? I've seen photos of some ugly females in their military
Those excavators have a weird base. Are they on a barge?
>they can't really fake stuf
What do you mean by that?
>despite having most of the world wanting them dead. i like that.
Anon, most of the world is more than happy if best korea stays on his corner and don't make any fuss, if we really, really wanted them dead, dead they would be by now, if they keep starving, sending threaths now and then and going back to their business no one will bother them. No one cares about them, It's just is not worth the massive trouble.
Every boomer I've interacted with so far foams at the mouth to the opportunity to nuke them off of the face of the earth.
I legit don't care what NK does so long as it remains within their borders. The constant aggression towards Japan is the main reason why people are unfavorable towards NK, that and the nuclear sabre-rattling is just generally distasteful to everyone alive. If they chilled out on those two things people would go from hating them to being neutral for the most part. Problem is they're a bit of a vassal state since China does most of their trade with them, China really fuckin' hates Japan, and honestly there's just always been tension between the Japan - Chinese - Korean peoples. It's been a big deal that South Korea is now working with Japan on some stuff militarily, and it's honestly impressive that entire part of the world has kept their beef with each other to constantly shitting on each other in the media and some missile tests for the last couple generations.
>and only use a propriatary version of Linux for their entire web.
Based autists
I actually like Kim, more meant that any photo involving autocrats inspecting weapons brings that scene to mind. While I think Juche is an inefficient ideology I can respect the idea of trying to make yourself self-sufficient as a nation even if it's foolish.
That article you linked is both brutal and funny.
>Clearly stating that the damage is not a calamity caused by natural disasters but a human disaster by irresponsibility and indiscipline of the loafers from A to Z, he said that pardon can never be allowed for those politically immature persons who do not keep step with the appeal of the Party Central Committee, mental under-wits who do not accept the warning as a warning, bureaucrats who ignore the safety of people's lives and property and those who are unfaithful to their duty for the Party and the revolution. He gave orders to the Organizational Leadership Department and the Discipline Inspection Department of the Party Central Committee, the State Inspection Commission and the Central Public Prosecutors Office to ferret out the responsible organs and the persons concerned and strictly censure and sternly punish them by the Party and law.
Hearing Best Korean writers translate their insults into English is funny as hell. But the officials that caused this disaster to happen are going to feel the state go full dedovschina on them.
It does sound like something Chris Chan would write.
>DPRK stopped designing websites in the late 1990s and only use a propriatary version of Linux for their entire web
We need to go back.
An autocrat can get away with micromanaging a geographically small area, to a degree.
And if nothing else, creating internal propaganda that gives the appearance of North Korea having a fully functional and independent economy and supply chains has its own uses. Think of it like a propagandized version of Modern Marvels.
I mean it's better than nothing, but we have an entire field devoted to making sure procedure is autistically followed, just implement a quality system.
>Is it a good idea for a leader to visit his weapons factories and units to make sure they work like this?
Helps weed out the grifters. At least Kim would have a realistic understanding of what equipment's at his disposal if he ever found himself in a war.
Hey, remember how the rush to Kiev failed because all the Russians tires were absolute shit and no one knew where the good tires or the entire tire factory went?
Funny story, kinda how Algeria go 530 BMPTs and BMPT-62s before the Russian military.......
Algeria: 60? BMPT72 and 13 BMPT-62.
Right before Russia invaded ukraine it sold 300 T-72s to Algeria with the equipment to make all 300 of them into BMPTS. It also sold enough equipment to make 330 of their T-62's into BMPT-62s.
>Shoigu and Gerasimov,
Stopped reading right there, those two can't be CIA agents because they are wreaking Russia way more than the USA could ever dream of doing. Russia is economically dependant of the PRC and militarily is a client state of Iran and North Korea.. Russia is a puppet state in a Iran/DPRK/PRC power struggle which they are not allowed nor capable of joining.
Russia just abandoned their only chance of beating Iran/DPRK/PRK in Africa by eliminating Wagner, they are done as a real power for the next century.
Seems like it would work better than leaving everything unsupervised for 30 years and being surprised everything's broken or missing.
>30 years
More like 45-50
You are blind, the Moronbang bassist is 100% pure Juche sex while still being a trad woman:
Call me soft hearted, i dont care.
Whenever i see this guy i remember that he's keeping hundreds of thousands of his fellow countrymen in concentration camp, including children.
Another ten million is kept in starving conditions.
While like a million or so live in relative middle class conditions.
And he does not let anyone out.
While he may produce nice looking propaganda we cant forget that this guy is responsible for immense amount of suffering. He's on Hitler and Stalin level.
Its some consolation that he will spend eternity suffering in hell.
>we cant forget that this guy is responsible for immense amount of suffering. He's on Hitler and Stalin level.
>Its some consolation that he will spend eternity suffering in hell.
No such thing has hell, it's a sop for peasants so they won't seek justice in this world.
It's our duty to make a hell on earth for such villains.
While people that survived NDE experience are telling there is no hell and everything is joy and love, there are some accounts of hell. Also karma exists in buddhist theology.
From simulation theory point of view this world and your life may be some kind of "filter" that is filtering souls/consciousnesses from bad to good.
>keeping hundreds of thousands of his fellow countrymen in concentration camp, including children
y tho
Surely it's more efficient to shoot them all.
> guards
> food
> land
All resources that could be used more productively. Is it even worth the terror effect?
Verification not required.
its about control, if NK only cared about rational efficiency they wouldn't be who they are today. Communism is a bitch.
>I can't but think that Kim pays more attention to his MIC than Putin does.
Bro, Russia did the same shit but instead of Putin doing it, it was Shoigu and Gerasimov, Putin also had TV show where people would call with their problems and he'd tell local governors to deal with it.
Those "surprise inspections" are pure bullshit, factory is informed about incoming surprise weeks or even month before to look prepare
North Korea is a weird, Western hating hermit state due to the US carpet bombing the entire nation during the Korean War. Look up how many bombs were dropped on NK and how many Koreans lost their lives. If your nation were completely brutalized by a foreign power, you'd probably hold a grudge too. I also don't trust Western medias take that it's a dystopian shit hole. NK surviving the war wasn't supposed to happen and the current state portrayed to us, I believe, is done so to convey the illusion that even though we didn't really win, we still won.
The goofy stuff like the mandatory haircuts is pure bullshit propaganda, but the DPRK is a destitute shithole outside of Pyongyang and maybe some small pockets like that South Korean industrial park.
Vietnam: exists
What is it that makes possible the existence of unironic western best corer tankies? How can people become so delusional that they support a giant country sized prison camp? Delusions and contrarianism beyond even what 4chan is capable of? I think that the DPRK and other historical totalitarian states are fascinating but any online discussion on the subject attracts several of these types. It's like seeing an alien
Tankies see the propaganda pictures and think the whole country is like that.
all they needed was "cute" girls cosplaying as deathcamp guards
weeb coomers and their consequences have been a disaster to the human race
