You are right, I was thinking mostly about East Germany, the west was a joke. Thanks for providing the example of Korea, I didn't know how it was handled in the north, only that occupied South Korea kept the same korean military police from the japanese era.
Because they constantly need to reaffirm their masculine role in society. They do this to make sure they are Very Male, totally not gay when they are among other males but they also behave like this when they are alone to soothe their insecurities. One way of doing this is to "remind" women of their place by degradation, to them masculinity is being always on top and active. It's about making women uncomfortable on purpose, the catcalling phrases ranges from stupid to straight out obscene just for the sake of reaffirming the power structure of heteronormativity. A male always gives orders, a male always penetrates and never gets penetrated (consider sex positions, the penetrated is usually below and "passive", both literally and metaphorically). In some cultures even performing cunnilingus to a woman was/is considered "effeminate" and being accused of performing it on ancient Rome was the today's equivalent of being insulted with common pejorative words questioning the masculinity of the person performing such act.
EDIT: use of derogatory language.
Those who dance next to a concentration camp don't deserve a single tear. Sometimes living like an entitled westernized settler has consequences. It should always have consequences. Fuck these displays of empathy for those who have none, that's for liberals who believe they'll never be on the oppressed side. It's so easy for them to appeal to the bOTh SidEs bullshit.
Sexual assault perpetrated by yankis, fr*nch and britshit soldiers on Italian, French and German populations would be way more known to the public. Nowadays in any pop history documentary they never forget to talk about Soviet SA crimes but conveniently have no mention about the other Allied countries crimes because it fits into the narrative about barbarian "asiatic hordes" plundering through Europe.
Add a fountain coming out of the neck so the birds can drink and shit on its big head.
I was expecting it to be in powder form, mixed with the flour. Don't get me wrong, I'd only eat food from a zionist if I were starving, but I'm not convinced. Maybe they were trying to smuggle drugs for some dealers. Zionists are already causing chaos with mercenaries near Rafah. I doubt those pills were meant for the average Palestinian to find inside the flour, recognize them as a particular brand of opioid medication and say "I guess I'll get high to numb the pain" then proceed to take them while baking bread.
DON'T TOUCH MY SLAVES! 
Another case of Israel's child soldiers policy. We need a Kony 2012 type campaign to liberate occupied Palestine by the end of 2025.
I would like to know more about North Korean art, both traditional and contemporary. What music do young people listen to? Where can I access to their cinema, music, painting, theater (with subtitles)?
How much interest does north Korea have in exposing foreigners to their culture? What is the government's policy on that matter?
Edit: I forgot about books. Anything Korean translated to other languages? Fiction, essays, etc.
The classical forced smile for family photos. 
Anyone else encounter this?
Of course, the "This country is shit because socialism/communism happened" bullshit is quite common, most people have no political education, that culture was destroyed during the last dictatorship (76-83). Ask them when was the last time the socialists ran the country and they'll confuse them for peronists, they can't differentiate between ideologies. Next time ask them why did Peron incarcerated communists while he was in power. They won't have a clue about what you are saying.
Only a deeply ignorant population could have voted for Milei, as a candidate he promised he'd implement the same economic policies that have already failed a dozen times in the last 50 years. He expressed admiration for fucking Margaret Thatcher during a presidential debate, what else can be said after that?
Argentina is the perfect example of a country where you don't need to send your own soldiers to occupy and colonize it. First, destroy their syndicates, student movements and cultural expressions through their own armed forces. Then once "democracy" is back, cut funds to education, health, etc. and control the main news sources, finance NGOs, bribe their politicians for 2 cents. Flood the media with Hollywood crap and the worst mainstream music. Use mercenary "journalists" to reiterate the idea that it is all your neighbor's fault and you are in constant danger, don't trust anybody.
The final product is an anglophile population with no roots, no memory and no collective identity who doesn't have anything good to claim as their own. Their only hope is to migrate to Europe or USA. "The only way out is the airport" is a common saying.
Argentina only exists in name, it is not a real country as it has no sovereignty (high dependence on US dollar, other countries prey on its waters for fish and its mountains for minerals, etc). Their bourgeoisie always has one foot on America/Europe and if things go to shit they are immune, they send their profits overseas without paying taxes. When they need to put some of that dirty money back the government forgives them by decree because it is desperate for USD. Also, American and Israeli embassies are de facto part of the government, is there anything else to add? Politicians visiting the embassy perform a long standing tradition.
Football is the only means of expression left for fake national fervor and some pathetic semblance of collective unity, comprised of eleven multi-millionaires playing for FIFA and a mob of idiots who will raise their flag for the show, never for a real cause. It's all a mock up. There is no real nation.

Literally LotR at the end of the third movie with the orcs running around when Sauron is destroyed.
I resist to think that those in charge of these operations are really smoking what they sell, though. They hope to destabilize the region, mess with Asian countries' projects of economic development and have another opportunity to sell weapons so stocks go up.
