Oh I forgot that dude exists.
What the fuck? Literally just shared a scene from a great SciFi movie. Point to the horny in this post. No, usernames dont count.
I second this. It actually pairs nicely after finishing the book if you have that “what do now” feeling. Really enjoyed this movie (though not as much as the book)

Strange, I said this earlier today in a text to my buddy lol
I definitely edited that comment and said I would find the film. You ignoring my additions is not something I can do anything about. I mentioned how SK was fucked. I watched the documentary, that still did not prove that independent journalism is allowed mor that they allow the free press in. Which if you recall, was my original statement before you made it about your points. Its not silly. One person is not independent journalism being let into the country. Its simply allowing one vetted person to make a film approved by you.
All other sources I can locate say information on the inner workings of the DPRK are unreliable as they only allow the singular state source to report. Literally everything says that but you and your singular documentary. Is everything else wrong? Its hard to say but I doubt it.
The situation looks exactly as it is. The people are fine, they are just massively restricted in what information they are allowed to consume. I never said it was a hellscape, you put those words in my mouth. I said they do not allow the free press in, and if they wanted to dispell rumours and portray truth they would allow the free press in. But they don’t, because they want to control what information their civilians consume. Thats what I am saying. I am not saying they are starving and demons run amuck. I am saying the citizens have extremely restricted access to information from outside their country and that is how you achieve this “social cohesion”. Please, I implore you to not project onto me and actually read my words. You never seem to do that because you are so eager to show how your perspective is the right one, when it is merely just another flawed perspective like line because we both dont live there.
Its whatever dude I know you all dont like anarchists. You just bend over backwards to try and say the DPRK is fair but nothing I can even dredge up on the Dark web says that. Everything points to them having an iron grip on the flow of information in the country to influence its entire population into “social cohesion” because thats the only way to realistically do that. You can hate that all you want but thats the truth. People with more access to more information form many different opinions. People with less, well, form less. I just can’t be convinced that thats actually good.
This only happens on ml comms so you can say what you want but ya’ll are king dogpilers.

It really doesn’t appear to be open
This is like a westoid sharing a YouTube video or something and expecting you to take it seriously. I cannot confirm or deny anything in that with earnest. It doesnt matter how much the .ml brigade satisfies your updoot and downdoot ratio. The DPRK is not open to free journalism and this singular tankie.tube video is not evidence of that. I’ll go watch this film on a separate platform before I make my judgments on it.
Edit: So far all I am seeing is SK and NK are both extremely controlling. She lost her SK citizenship filming this. Also, while the people of NK so far in this film seem happy. They are cut off from the net, like Lemmy and seem to not have the same amount of choice. So far my viewpoint that all states are bad is just reinforced here.
Edit 2: the social cohesion seems to be a nice way of saying there is a tight control of the flow of information into the country, restricting its people’s from developing differing viewpoints and opinions. Not entirely a good look. But its not like the capitalists to the south are better.

movies@piefed.social•After Limp ‘Ares’ Opening, ‘Tron’ Remains in Franchise Limbo — The sci-fi series about digital worlds has become too big to be a truly “cult” series, yet not big enough to be a major cultural forceEnglish
11·26 days agoLegacy is ass. The original is far more unique. I will die on this hill and thats fine. You can dissect each part of my comment but the fact still remains that Tron as an IP is fucking dying because of the choices of it’s descendants. “Mass appeal” was apparently not enough. You have to stand for something to be something, not just what you think everyone wants to see, and the original Tron was not trying to be something everyone wants to see.
When the government shuts down the killing doesnt stop. Just the things that help people.

2·27 days agoYou got me, I wasn’t stating facts just opinions and fee fees. Maybe it is just me, who thinks of the original when I hear Tron, and not Legacy. Now, we can play the gross profit game all day but a lot of factors changed in daily life from 1982 to 2010. Including inflation. 1 dollar in 1982 is like 2.26 on 2010 money. We also see Disney gaining am unfathomable reach, with Tron Legacy releasing worldwide and in China, while Tron only released in 1000 or so American theaters. Is that a fair comparison? Enough to call me out as brazen and bat shit? Not really. I mean Tron was Disney’s highest grossing live action film for five years. It was nominated for multiple awards. I just dont believe your analysis takes in all facets surrounding the original release compared to the sequel. Quite literally a different production level with less interesting visuals, less unique, and just about the same sort of confusing story. If we could have some sort of comparison where people are exposed to the two and vote on it, you’d find the original has a lot of merit and is far more focused in scope than Legacy.
I did and I still dont think any of these nations truly care about people. Not the US Empire, not the DPRK, not the Russian Empire, not anything. If these places were more interested in peace and welfare like they claim we would never be in this situation in the first place. Why would the DPRK not invite reporters in if it cared about the truth and was itself just? It would, as it would be in its own best interest. But it doesn’t, because nations are more interested in power and control than truth and welfare.
Ah yis, the CIA knows nothing same as any other westoid. But you, dear OP, you know the DPRK so well. You can totally tell when Burgerland tells a fantasy about The Good Place Cause You Like It.
This post is crazy misinformed besides the 30k robux thing. Here’s a calculator for robux conversions:

61·28 days agoCan’t agree with that. Legacy traded the cool visuals and psudoreligious-techno story for the front of an apple store. The original is still inspiring today with the visuals. Its still one of the first things thought of when people mention computers, virtual reality, or anything that has to do with humanizing computer systems. It had a lot going for it which is why we are discussing it right now. The sequels all fail because they abandon the visuals and still tell a shit story. No one cares about Olivia Wylde’s character, nobody cares about Clu, nobody cares about making armies in the real world with code. Show us a digital planet again, show us a free system with programs using I/O towers. Sequels fail because they always abandon the original Tron.









Potooo going wild with the boomer shit posts and everybody acting like they never seen them in the comment section before. The more the Net changes, the more it stays the same.
