One of the largest mass killings in history - the Bodo league massacre. South Korea concealed and refused to admit it for 40+ years.

I didn’t even know about North Korea’s other political parties until I saw a toot on Mastodon by @nutomic@lemmy.ml. In fact I thought it was an absolute one-man dictatorship. Guess I got roped hook, line, and sinker by propaganda.
The idea that a single person can control a state with millions of people is pure liberalism and individualism. Each state is controlled by a class of people. Today thats usually the bourgeosie or proletariat, in medieval times it used to be the aristocracy.
Wait. Whut?

The video is age restricted so YouTube forces you to sign in to watch it. Invidious can bypass that: https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=ktE_3PrJZO0
Top based comments on that video:
This one of those moments when you have the “oh shit everything I know might be false” really eye opening
South Korea’s manipulation and propaganda is like they’re a country created and backed by the USA.
Now I know, how Kim could feed his uncle/nephew/granny to the dogs. The answer is very simple: he didn’t.
A reply: it was originally a satire story by a chinese journalist, but media outlets took it to be true and it blew up (BTW does anyone know where I can find the original satire?)
Just hit me watching this that US has basically committed two genocides on northern Korea. Korean war and the arduous march.
It is also unbelievable how much you get gaslighted when trying to give a nuanced picture of DPRK.
Noice. Ya that video, and the docu “the haircut” on youtube, are some great intros for people to realize: “oh damn western media actually is trash.”
