      I live in US regime, can confirm that’s 110% true, conservatives frequently have sex with the flag. Not kink shaming, but they always role play as a cop or GI beforehand. And the worst part is that they never stop role playing

        They can’t stop role playing, the government forces them to keep role playing at the barrel of a gun all day for no money.

    Man in DPRK: touches grass.

    These comrades have never done an iota of gardening in their lives, or they would recognize a man pulling weeds to keep the lawn healthy.

            I’m all for picking up litter, and weeding to save plants you purposefully want like vegetables or flowers. But if I had the displeasure of having a grass lawn I would let it go to shit. When I think of “lawn care” like KGB says I think of those insufferable, meticulous, wasteful lawns and the insane amount of gas/electricity, fertilizers/pesticides/chemicals and time/energy goes into suburbanites trying to out-American Psycho each other and distract themselves with status, petty drama and wasteful self-inflicted chores so they don’t notice the growing abyss in their heart and mind.

              My fam has big lawn and I mostly take care of it these days. But parts of it are dead rn and some parts tend to get overgrown. I tried planting a bunch of crop secretly on the dead parts but it hasn’t worked. Wanna try growing wheat all over where the tall grass is outback. Having a small lawn is prob ok as somewhere nice to hang out. Big one is waste of human energy and really the people who have big ones aren’t the ones maintaining it.

        Suburbia is an abomination and needs to disappear. But in general there is nothing wrong with some nice landscaping, parks and well maintained general greenery in cities for the public’s enjoyment. I’m a big fan of public parks and green spaces.

          Agreed. It’s the individualistic suburban yards that are the problem. Shared spaces being well maintained is a boon to the community.

          Edit: And just to be clear, no one is saying you can’t have wildflower fields, which are excellent for our pollinator kin, also.

    If you google ‘North Korean man picking grass’ you get this (stock) photo and other pictures of people, sometimes in uniform, doing the same. Turns out it’s just people doing lawn work.

    Ffs even Fox News has an article about these people that is surprisingly normal.

    But a ‘source: trust me bro’ pic is all that’s needed I guess.

      Also, notice that the guy has a pretty decent suit of clothes. Which would suggest that, even if he really is foraging for food (which I doubt), the Korean government is still trying to take care of its citizens, to the best of its ability.

    Because they’ve never seen someone weed a garden before. Presumably because their parents have their wage slave migrant workers do it at their family mansion, and only when the children aren’t watching.

    Humans aren’t supposed to eat grass. The silicates in the leaves destroy your teeth. Ruminants have special silica-resistant chompers.

    Source: tried to chew on grass and it felt gritty and horrible compared to normal veg.

    I could be wrong but i think “The North Korean government is in shambles” is genuinely an anti-comm copypasta. They put it in every convo abt that country like they’re leaving a quote on GameFAQs
