This is not all America’s fault anymore
Sep. 13th, 2016 03:02 amI guess Kim has been feeling offended and microaggressed recently. This is probably the world's largest safe space these days. I like how they had to warn against the use of "This is all America's fault".
North Korean Citizens Warned Against 'Hostile' Speech
North Korean citizens have recently been warned against the use in casual conversation of sarcasm directed against the regime of national leader Kim Jong Un, with state security officers threatening that even indirect criticisms of party leadership will not be forgiven, North Korean sources say.
“The main point of the lecture was ‘Keep your mouths shut!’” the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Warning his listeners to guard against being “dragged into internal hostile behavior,” the official conducting the meeting pointed specifically to commonly used expressions such as “This is all America’s fault,” which when spoken ironically could be taken to imply criticism of the regime.
“This habit of the central authorities of blaming the wrong country when a problem’s cause obviously lies elsewhere has led citizens to mock the party,” RFA’s source said.
Another expression, “A fool who cannot see the outside world,” has also spread quickly from government workers in Pyongyang who were shocked at Kim Jong Un’s absence at celebrations held in Russia and China to mark the end of the Second World War, the source said.
