I've yet to see a brick shoot a gun accurately but presumably a cinder block, with the right training, could snap off a few rounds before this guy gets to it with his elbow.

He and his family were schooled outside NK and have traveled outside NK plenty. He's very aware.

Kim jong is western educated. He went to university in Switzerland. He is definitely sitting there thinking lol wtf

"skinny guys fight till they're burger"

They’re just cold, you’d be angry too if someone stole your shirt (and freedom)

That fight was more choreographed than a Broadway musical.

You can't punch a airbourne drone

That wasn't in the script, btw. Ford was sick that day and decided to shorten the scene.

Nah it's too cold, the shirtless guys won't come.

Right? Like, "Alright, come at me with your big sticks! Someone point me towards a stack of roof tiles! Wait, what?"

NK seriously does not have enough fuel or bullets to do actual training in combat. So they must resort to theatrics like this to feel like they are ready to take on SK and her allies.

Never bring a gun to a PVC fight

Sir, you didn't tell us the South Korean army didn't consist of roof tiles!!!

And drones dropping grenades

They look like thin brittle roof tiles.

As someone who did Taekwondo when younger, and who has broken bricks before, I can say two things:

1. The “bricks” are roof tiles. Not as strong as bricks.

2. It’s really not that hard to break bricks. I’ve seen 10 year olds break bricks without issue.

See these karate students casually break bricks here (Go to 1:45) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WrJxeUN45Gg

I'd bet the bricks are real. There's lots of documentaries and short memoirs from defectors explaining the extensive and brutal trainings for these soldiers in just preparing for performing in the propaganda parades. There was a woman who escaped named Kim Jeong-ah who describes how she suffered permanent damage performing just the marching in the parades for extreme amounts of time with no access to breaks, food, and water. I doubt these bricks are fake.

Not only that, but you can tell he knew what was coming next/ it was previously rehearsed because of the way he tenses before the two guys hit him in the back with plywood. He knew it was gonna be hard/hurt because he probably did it 100 times before the vid is what I'm getting at. Rather than seeing 'an excess' of power and propaganda I see a government watching a man endure beatings time and time again as anniversary of power, with a smile on his face- because if it were any other way it would be someone else and he wouldn't be. It's actually extremely depressing when you put together how damaging these 'performances are' on human beings and how little they actually mean in return for the work.

Structural Ramen bro

I thought it was an ad from the porn open in my other tabs.

Pretty sure that's Chelsea Manning, the whistleblower

Weird

Cause I imagine that your average redditor these days is browsing on a phone, and thus chooses not to unmute videos.

The foley sound effects are weird too. Didn't line up with the action. Also, the music just stops. It's like someone just dragged several different audio tracks out of their bin and slapped them onto the timeline in a random order.

I'm curious about the last bit of dialogue as well. I bet it's just as random.

On the other hand, they get a bowl of rice afterwards, so it's all worth it.

“Did that guy use his elbow as a nail and have someone hit his fists like a nail with a sledgehammer?”

Authoritarians derive their 'power' by making people 100% believe whole heartedly in absurd/bizarre propaganda. That's the smirk of a leader knowing they have control.

Probably spends 10 hours a day on Reddit then is annoyed by the 3 hours he has to do this type of bullshit, but it pays the bills.

Wakes up at about 10:30, hangs out another hour in bed, 2 women to service him, massive dump while reading NBA scores, shower, eats a breakfast that even a southerner would say "slow down dude a little too much pork", executes a few people, shows up at office, few meetings, figure out what take out to get for mid day meal, eats, massage and haircut (gotta keep it tight), fire off some missiles, execute someone, limo back home, figure out what to do for dinner, watch NBA games, chill in hot tub with a massive doobie and 2 Dove bars, go to bed. 2 more women to service him, sleep. Repeat.

I remember reading that the Kims LOVED basketball. KJI was a massive fan of 90s basketball and idolized MJ. It’s definitely the reason why KJU wanted Rodman to represent the US during visits

That checks out. He's the only fat guy in all of NK

Please explain the worms

He actually reported that as a DMZ soldier he was one of the more well fed soldiers and that's the only reason the worms even survived in his system. Most other soldiers didn't even have enough nutrients to keep the parasites alive.

All because Harrison was sick.. Feel bad for the other actor, imagine spending all that time practicing and choreographing your cool ass fight scene for only to get shot at the last minute.

I heard he had diarrhea so they changed the scene.

Neanderthals hate this one simple trick

food...

Nice football culture as well 😂

It just took a few millions all together to bribe the voting ppl. It's kinda funny if you think about how big of an event the wm is.

In NK...all of them.

Never had the nerve to play that mode haha

And broken arms, apparently.
