A convicted felon wants to take the guy that has children executed for listening to music to a baseball game. What a dream team.
Hey now. Be fair. The convicted felon is also an alleged child abuser and rapist.
Also attempted coup doer. Weird to me that everyone seems to forget that. Maybe it needs a more catchy phrase.
I think "Benedict Donald" has a decent ring to it. For anyone who knows any amount of history, anyway.
I'm hoping "felonious DJT" catches on.
7th inning stretch music turns into a bloodbath as the screams can be heard several blocks away from the stadium.
Take me out at the ball game,
Take me out in the crowd!
Generally if you hear something that makes no sense about an enemy of the US, it's either outright fabricated or missing vital context.
Like the trash story from a couple months ago was missing the context that South Korea has been sending balloons that littered North Korea with leaflets beforehand.
You're right. Maybe the kids in OPs post had been warned already to stop listening to music. They probably instigated and escalated the situation.
Come on, what's more likely, that North Koreans are literally cartoon villains who execute children for listening to music (when they're not pretending to till the fake fields around the fake village at the border, pretending to play in the fake water park, or pulling the trains from village to village)? Or that some tabloid made it up, and nobody bothers to fact check anything about north korea?
You'd recognize how silly it is if a conservative told you "
<enemy of america>
hates us for our freedom", why don't you see it here?I think both scenarios are 100% plausible. If conservatives made those claims about a political enemy, I'd look at the body of evidence that enemy has produced, and make some judgement calls. NK has a shit track record of being good to its citizens. There are videos of defectors getting shot, stories of political prisoners or just prisoners being tortured and killed, some from the United States, and mountains of other individual acts that show them them as radicals that may kill kids just because.
stories of political prisoners or just prisoners being tortured and killed
Similar to Cuban refugees, they can literally get thrown in prison or executed as agents of an enemy state if they say positive things about Korea.
Journalists paying defectors to share a story would be considered wildly unethical in any other circumstance, but it's par for the course for north Korean defectors.
The wild stories about rats eating children and children eating rats in camps they torture you for 7 generations is like the definition of non-credible.

I just left that instance because of it being a shithole. Thank you for affirming my decision.
You're welcome. I accidentally had an account on that shithole when I first joined Lemmy. Spent a bunch of time in the tech communities, those weren't so bad, so it took a bit to notice. I don't think they were up front about pandering to authoritarian states in their description when I joined, either, they might have changed since.
