Some kids in our group, as young as 12, bought North Korean rice vodka, brought it back to the camp, and got extremely drunk on the first couple of nights.
Oh no kids drinking at a summer camp! Because this never happens in literally every single country in the world!
We had to clean statues of North Korea’s former leaders. One morning, we woke up at 6 a.m. to clean the monuments of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
We didn’t have sponges or anything — we were just brushing off the dust, even though the monuments were cleaned professionally every week. It was strange.
So, not even really cleaning the statues then. Just like, visiting and politely brushing them while visiting. This seems like something a Japanese school would do lol.
They tried to brainwash us in many ways. We played a computer game where your character, a hamster in a tank, had to destroy the White House.
One kid became so indoctrinated afterward that he joined the Communist Party in Russia and was always posting about North Korea.
For me, it didn’t work — the propaganda was too straightforward.
You paid 300 dollars to attend a trip organised by the communist party of russia. The other kid was a communist before he went to DPRK.
After leaving, I craved capitalist food so badly that I bought three Burger King burgers, two large fries, and a cola. It was impossible to eat all that, but I just wanted it so bad.
Lmao fuck offfffffffffff this is the most blatantly bullshit planted “america good” part of the article.
Despite the boring, miserable and overly controlled experience, I returned the next year. I don’t like confrontation, and the Communist Party officials had already signed me up, so I went again.
It was a stupid decision to return, and I don’t know why my parents let me go, but I’d totally do it again
I’d totally do it again

Yeah and the real brainwashing was in North Korea, lol

WAIT WHAT I saw someone else post this and assumed they were making it up, that’s actually in the article?! Also maybe I’m just built different but that seems very possible to eat.

This is a human with no thoughts of their own
Comrade Hamtaro liberating the Western proletariat by striking directly at the heart of the darkness.
Even assuming the absolute worst, none of that compares to the indoctrination I got at evangelical church camp in the USA.

Literally dumber than an infant
If the glorious government of the DPRK doesn’t put this online somewhere I will have to start believing Yeonmi Park ngl

Poor guy has deprived of his precious Kurger Bing
Yeah I thought that was a hexbear joke comment until it was IN THE FUCKING ARTICLE while I was reading it.
Hexbear needs to up its satire because they’re producing funnier material as actual propaganda.
