Propaganda

The image above is taken in a local restaurant where the TV plays a loop of various propaganda. This usually includes documentaries about past leaders, only painting them as the heroes they’d like to be perceived as. There are only three stations in all of North Korea, and only two of them play on the weekends! Next time you complain about not finding anything to watch on Netflix, just remember that in North Korea, there’s literally nothing but propaganda on TV. The danger in this is that these people aren’t given the truth and realities of the situation they’re living in. Imagine having to constantly watch documentaries about how great Donald Trump is. Some might already do that, but even the biggest Trump supporters would have to grow tired of the same images over and over again. Being forced to repeatedly watch the same thing can be incredibly damaging to one’s psyche.
