dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

What so you're saying that it gets more absurd that this??? What are the South Korean tabloids saying about the DPRK?

It's literally the same stuff Yeonmi Park says, she got famous in the first place selling her story in SK. I'm fairly sure a lot of the stuff she tells people in the West come directly from tabloid stories. Like she told this story on Rogen, that during an earthquake people were running into collapsing buildings so they could eat the unguarded food. That basically gets repeated in SK tabloids everytime there is a significant earthquake in Korea.
