Some kids in our group, as young as 12, bought North Korean rice vodka, brought it back to the camp, and got extremely drunk on the first couple of nights.

Oh no kids drinking at a summer camp! Because this never happens in literally every single country in the world!

We had to clean statues of North Korea's former leaders. One morning, we woke up at 6 a.m. to clean the monuments of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

We didn't have sponges or anything — we were just brushing off the dust, even though the monuments were cleaned professionally every week. It was strange.

So, not even really cleaning the statues then. Just like, visiting and politely brushing them while visiting. This seems like something a Japanese school would do lol.

They tried to brainwash us in many ways. We played a computer game where your character, a hamster in a tank, had to destroy the White House.

One kid became so indoctrinated afterward that he joined the Communist Party in Russia and was always posting about North Korea.

For me, it didn't work — the propaganda was too straightforward.

You paid 300 dollars to attend a trip organised by the communist party of russia. The other kid was a communist before he went to DPRK.

After leaving, I craved capitalist food so badly that I bought three Burger King burgers, two large fries, and a cola. It was impossible to eat all that, but I just wanted it so bad.

Lmao fuck offfffffffffff this is the most blatantly bullshit planted "america good" part of the article.

Despite the boring, miserable and overly controlled experience, I returned the next year. I don't like confrontation, and the Communist Party officials had already signed me up, so I went again.

congratulations bottom-speak congratulations

It was a stupid decision to return, and I don't know why my parents let me go, but I'd totally do it again

I'd totally do it again

Comrade Hamtaro liberating the Western proletariat by striking directly at the heart of the darkness.

Even assuming the absolute worst, none of that compares to the indoctrination I got at evangelical church camp in the USA.

Yeah and the real brainwashing was in North Korea, lol

Capitalist food

Literally dumber than an infant

That’s because all of the microplastics are plugging up his brain.

If the glorious government of the DPRK doesn't put this online somewhere I will have to start believing Yeonmi Park ngl

WAIT WHAT I saw someone else post this and assumed they were making it up, that's actually in the article?! Also maybe I'm just built different but that seems very possible to eat.

Poor guy has deprived of his precious Kurger Bing

Yeah I thought that was a hexbear joke comment until it was IN THE FUCKING ARTICLE while I was reading it.

Hexbear needs to up its satire because they're producing funnier material as actual propaganda.

[-] [email protected] 54 points 11 months ago

Propaganda activities such as singing songs in the local language

Saying words is the ultimate communist tactic. Real patriots only grunt

meanwhile in america, we have "SUMMER" camps that kidnap children out of their homes with no explanation and regularly kill and sexually abuse children in their care

it would really suck to have to clean a statue though

(Cw: concentrated evil, if you are on the lookout for CWs at all I advise you skip this) www.elan.school is an autobiographical conic by a survivor of one of these.

A powerful work that comic. And Americans think other cultures are fucked

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

That is a very good comic, one of the most horrifying things I've ever read, fucked me up for days afterwards. The "troubled teen industry" is up there with most evil things in the U.S. and that's really saying something.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I've been spending the past like 6 hours reading this comic and like... fuck

insanely heavy shit

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Turns out they just spent two seconds brushing off dust, not really cleaning it

I lost about 11 pounds in 15 days, even though I was already skinny.

Literally not even possible, not even if they were shitting and puking their brains and dicks out from cholera

[-] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

It depends on where he's starting from, but one can totally lose that much weight at that speed from not eating.

I want to blow up a model of the white house too!
