Yeah right, everyone knows you’re a shill account. I’m not going to waste my time arguing with a sealion.
Let me clarify something for you: this isn’t me starting an argument. You’re not that important to me. This is just a mark-and-bypass.
Good day.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_in_North_Korea
Propaganda is widely used and produced by the government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea). Most propaganda is based on the Juche ideology, veneration of the ruling Kim family, the promotion of the Workers’ Party of Korea, and hostilities against both the Republic of Korea and the United States.

More than any other country in the world today, North Korea inspires observers to puzzle over how to communicate with it. Its domestic media and internet remain sealed off from the outside world; its ruling Party still invests massive efforts to control what its people see, read and hear.

Domestic propaganda in the Rodong Sinmun and allied outlets performs the familiar authoritarian function of normalizing state behavior, consolidating loyalty to the Kim family and molding public consent for hardship and sacrifice.

Reading sessions" (dokbo) are a uniquely North Korean propaganda method where members of schools or workplaces gather each morning before starting their daily activities to listen to readings from the Rodong Sinmun newspaper or current party policies, typically led by cell secretaries or propaganda officials assigned to each unit.

It appears that once any document is printed, it must be recovered and disposed of by the respective printing house after use. The reporting partner noted that control intensity is particularly high in border areas, explaining that “access to publications is limited to designated people, and unlike before, it’s now impossible to go to propaganda department officials’ homes to get discarded documents as scrap paper due to strict management.”eiir.eu/…/how-north-korea-controls-its-citizens-b…
North Korea remains one of the most secretive and repressive regimes in the world. The government, led by the Kim dynasty, exercises an iron grip over its citizens: domestic media and internet remain sealed off from the outside world, while the ruling Party invests economic resources and massive control over what citizens see, read and hear. The contrast between the carefully curated image of North Korea presented to its people and the actual conditions they endure, slightly known from the outside world, is stark. Understanding this dual approach offers insight into how the regime maintains its power despite widespread hardship.

North Korea’s public line matters because closed regimes exercise complete control over their media to shape and manage public opinion both at home and abroad. Even small changes in terminology or media behavior can shed light on leadership intentions. As such, Pyongyang is extremely calibrated in its public messaging: what information it releases and how it frames that information, at what level, to whom, and when. By tracking patterns and discerning shifts in trends in the media, one can gain insight into the North Korean leadership’s current thinking and future intentions.

For example, in Figure 1, a classic communist red background frames a star representing the nation’s supreme commander – a position exclusively held by the Kim family. The poster bears the text, “The Great Compatriot Kim Jong Un,” at the top. Four figures, each symbolizing different sectors of North Korean “people workers (inmin)” – a blue-collar worker, a soldier, a laborer, and a woman in some kind of uniform – raise their fists in solidarity. The accompanying tagline reads, “We will forever be loyal to you!” This poster, likely produced after Kim Jong Il’s death in 2011, symbolizes Kim Jong Un’s rise to power and underscores the merging of the Party and ideology with the Kim family itself.
Oh, but I already know what you’re gonna say: “None of those are North Korean sources, so none of it counts as valid evidence!1!1!1!”
Yes, you really are that predictable.

Except they actually had a beat crop year that beat expectations this year, so at least some of their propaganda turned out to be true
