North Korea exposes life in the USA

[Calliegirl]

I've seen this on a lot of sites, including comedy ones, so I don't know if it's really from North Korea or not.
Anyway, those of you from outside of the US who are thinking about visiting, watch the video and be warned about what you'll find when you get here.

 

[Snowcone]

Ha. They've sure got our number.

It's remarkable how all the houses blow down, but the tents don't.

Some people are doing real translations of what's being said, it's just some boring newscast. Not nearly as funny as what the person doing the voice over is saying.
I figured it wasn't real when I first saw it. I thought we were always seen as more of a hedonistic and materialistic society of bound for hell sinners and figured any propaganda video would reflect that.

 

[Kitties]

This can't be for real.

 

[RabbitLuvr]

Yoomy.

 

[Snowcone]

This can't be for real.

It's been proven fake (real propaganda video with a fake translation) but it sure is funny.

I await heroin.

 

[Kitties]

Thanks for the clarification. I wonder what the real translation is.

Link to the real translation please!

 

[Snowcone]

Link to the real translation please!

Screw it. Here's the translation in the description:

Here is a rough translation:
"In capitalist societies of America and Europe, the extreme gap between the rich and the poor, racism, chaos and disorder proliferate, leaving the workers in starvation, poverty, anxiety and fear. Amid snowstorms, the number of homeless people are increasing in the Western countries. Numerous Americans who lost their homes from Hurricane Sandy are still without homes, shivering in the cold for more than three months. Although American government promised to reconstruct the homes before the election, it no longer cares after the election is over. In Wisconsin, although the temperature is below negative 10 Celsius, many homeless people roam the streets, some of whom became homeless recently because they could not afford the soaring rent. America currently has more than 1.5 million homeless children.

The situation is also very grave in Europe, which is also hit by severe cold. In Bucharest, Romania, the homeless people line up early in the morning to receive just a piece of bread from charities. The 5,000 homeless people of Bucharest survive by rummaging through the trash. All of them say that during the socialist times, there was no one who was without a home. More than 300 die from the cold and related illness every winter. The same is true in Budapest, Hungary. The homeless shelters are so full that many have to resort to cardboard boxes and ragged blankets. Although the homeless lie exposed in front of tourists, the government cannot do anything. Hundreds of homeless people roam the public spaces of Budapest. The government built two new shelters in Budapest, but they are not nearly enough to house the rapidly increasing homeless population.

The foreign press say that although Western countries speak of welfare programs and civilization, the wealth gap, inequality and the nation's apathy toward the social weak are incurable diseases of capitalism.
Social anxiety and fear are peaking in America as mass murders with guns are occurring rampantly since the new year. [Lists off Sandy Hook, Aurora, shooting in a high school in California, a community college in Missouri, a 15-year-old boy in New Mexico killing his five family members.] Although the criminals are diverse in age, occupation, gender, etc., they are uniformly a product of America's inequality and other social ills. The American public's demand of gun control is louder than ever, but the NRA and weapons manufacturers bribe and pressure the key governmental officials from responding to the public demand. After President Obama announced a new gun control law, the protests for and against the new law are sweeping across America. Experts say that even if the guns are controlled, crimes will not stop unless America's extreme inequality, variety of social ills and the American system itself are changed completely."

This is one of the criticisms that the US should listen to.

Where I live, the homeless freezing to death is (sadly) regular occurrence during the winter.

 

[Calliegirl]

I do not like this new translation...there's no mention of snow coffee.

 

[Kitties]

Well I do have a lot of anxiety and fear at work.

I'd write a sophisticated reply to this but the winds of hell are blowing particularly bad and my cardboard box is in danger of blowing away, so I have to concentrate all my attention on that. If only I were in North Korea, I could be oppressed in style...
