I'm not linking to his video because fuck this guy. He deserves to be on the front line of Amerika's next big war.
Man claims to document propaganda, makes propaganda.
This guy is very well known for being untrustworthy and having little to no journalistic integrity.
I honestly don't know a huge amount about him, but as a fan of video essays I do know that there are lots of videos criticising his, and I did watch one that explained how he was working with the World Economic Forum to push propaganda.
the cool thing is about America is that the average American is so dumb and gullible that our propaganda network doesn't need to try at all. It can be clear garbage data or have literally no real source and it will just be believed if it fits a preconceived belief.
it is so easy to pick apart this stuff to anyone who reacts in even remotely good faith
this guy literally is cia
I'm a DPRK supporter to hilt but AES countries absolutely suck at propaganda, like it's pure media illiteracy at a global scale
That's how you know this fucker is a CIA media plant, cause our enemies know our shortcomings
I just believe that the empire has more resources to throw at propaganda, hence the difference.
Leftists in general have this moral issue with blatant lying too, something the imperial countries have no qualms with.
AES countries absolutely suck at propaganda
I don’t think you’re entirely wrong but on the other hand why should Korea expend valuable time and resources trying to convince irrelevant western civilians of anything?
I should qualify the reason these countries suck at propaganda is reasonable and understandable
Most AES countries began as literal post apocalyptic societies where survival against genocidal capitalist empires was more important than developing a prose or mass media framework for export
BUT, a century onward and with the continuous development of telecommunications technology; they really need to start getting the soft power arena squared away, it's not like the global left wouldn't easily dominate
I think part of the problem is that they are so isolated that it is difficult for them to even create a common cultural understanding. It's like the difficulty of Americans understanding of a respect culture, in that you show respect for your elders even if you do not agree with them simply for the fact that they may know something you don't for having lived a long time.
Mind, respect culture developed outside of capitalism, where living a long time was not a given. It also goes against much of the youth fetishization of the U.S. but therein lies the hypocrisy of the American culture, is that it is a culture of youthfulness created by old men for the purposes of keeping you naive and exploitable, not a culture of respect that derives from a level of respect you are supposed to have for yourself.
My point is that that only China has been able to successfully do it, by mimicking and exceeding western standards of success. Other socialist countries likely don't understand it, or if they do, they believe our definitions of success to be silly and short-sighted.
It's like anarchists decrying the DPRK's military parades, which, while understandable, misses that it takes a massive collective effort and culmination of years of practice and setup to pull off something of that. It takes more than the threat of violence to pull that off, it requires massive amounts passion, expertise and belief. Which we know now definitely because we've seen what the U.S. does to try to replicate even a fraction of the theatre.
The term ”brainwashing” was invented as propaganda during the Korean War, so that's very appropriate.
The Army even said they made that shit up a couple years after the genocide was over
"North Korea" is the greatest success of the US state propaganda machine. Not only tricking the entire west into thinking this country is bad and rewriting history, but even getting people to believe falsehoods so stupid and insulting a child should be able to point out how unrealistic they are.
There's a reason it's been the blueprint for all of the west's claims about Russia and China and any other "villain of the week" country. It all follows the same formula of "great man history evil dictator does evil pointless thing because they are so evil." And every fucking person I know falls for it every fucking time. And every fucking time I have to remind them that the grey thinky thing in their head should actually see some use, and they shouldn't just donate it to American propagandists.
no, you see everyone who does or does not have Kim Jong Un's haircut is shot with an anti-air gun
it's just him left
all those other North Koreans you see in videos? holograms.
