The weirdest thing that I have confirmed to be true is that the DPRK does actually ban jeans but itβs for cultural reasons, older people hated jeans and called for their ban
iirc it's specifically blue jeans, and black jeans are fine (and in fact produced in the DPRK). idk for sure though.
Actually even blue jeans are allowed but not fully in public ,theyβre allowed on the side
I donβt understand a thing bit itβs all cultural
For some reason I can't connect to any .kp websites at the moment, but I am wondering where they consider the current frontier in state ideology to be. That is to say, what new ideological work are they concerned with? Not just the preservation of standing ideology among the people, which I understand is a necessity.
I've read some of their publications -- and here I am most thinking of the humorously titled "No One Can Replace Women" (available online at kass.org.kp if I remember right) -- and I can't help but notice reactionary trends. For example, in the aforementioned article, women are given such a status because of their ability to produce and rear children. I'll grant the first part, but the publication says things like, paraphrasing, "a mother must devote the entirety of her existence to raising her child" with no mention of others being involved, even the father. Are we really going to endorse such an isolating family structure? Are we not going to exercise collective life by involving others, even beyond the father, in the task of child-rearing? Can't a mother have other aspirations for her own accomplishments besides reproduction? Or does it believe a mother has no other life for however many years?
This isn't a one-off, I just don't have access to the website to refresh my memory or read more articles.
Edit: the collection of articles might also be on naenara.com.kp, idk
This question in particular I think is very important because of south Koreaβs misogynistic views on women

Do they have any secret chestnut cultivars? I want to believe that it's possible to revive the native Turtle Island chestnut population.
how does this relate to the DPRK Comrade ?
There are chestnut species native to northeast Asia which I suspect are already cultuvated as a prolific food source by the DPRK.
Does the DPRK now decoupling from fossil fuels?
