Mongoloids are probably going to get North Korean citizens killed. Do most North Koreans even own a computer?

This is a dumb autistic idea... Stop fucking with politics you don't understand!!!

how can i send flash drives with gentoo
>>52883106
And then what? Tell the poor villager who probably has never seen a computer before to just plug it into his Mac and read?
why can't they leave north korea alone? they need to fix their problems themselves, outside intervention will only make it worse and possibly start a war over nonsense.
>>52884504
>>52883106
What the fuck is this crap? People needing explanations on why this is a bad idea should not be fucking necessary.
>haha let's just interfere with another country's politics, what could go wrong? xd
>>52884640
How could you not support this? North Korea is fucked. I mean, so is America, but at least there's some semblance of freedom there.
You really telling people the truth about the outside world is a bad thing?
>>52884705
>let's ignore the fact japan and South korea are easy targets for north korea and simple misiles.
What if we sent USB killers instead?
>>52884705
Yeah, I mean Kim Jong Un is really going to need that Western media.
If you wanted to impact the people, then perhaps you would send them something not electronic, since no one there has a home computer. Or, if they have, it's going to run red star os, and then they're going to get executed because of treason when the os finds they have illegal files on them. Either way, the people lose.
>they dont have computer
Yes they do. There is a black market in north korea whether you want to believe it or not. A more optimal idea is using cd's because dvd players are much more widespread. This isnt some new idea, south koreans have been supplying their neighbors with somewhat relevant technology for decades, illegally of course. But these cali faggots are nust stupid, they dont want some american spaghetti western because who fucking does? Its a niche market in asia and though it exists im very doubtful its wide spread in communist land. Just send them ak's like we americans do in every shitty situation and watch the area turn into a fucking shithole in the next 10-15 years as different extremist rise to power.
>>52883106
Who the fuck thinks this is a good idea.
Ignoring the amount of smugglers that would get killed or captured, think about the sheer ton of citizens who are going to get carted off to work camps the second the secret police even thinks they have one of these USBs.
How many citizens of NK even have the several devices required for watching a movie on USB?
If they are going through so much effort into smuggling shit into NK, why don't they smuggle in food, medical supplies, books for teaching etc etc.
Is the amount of innocent people who are going to get killed or incarcerated indefinitely really worth it so some starving villager can watch an mp4 file of Christmas with the Kranks?
Great let's enable western 'culture' to infect another country and ruin its heritage
>>52885119
Why send them ak's dooood, just send them weed lmao man. No one can be mad and fight after taking a toke of the sticky icky doood. Think of how few wars there would be if they legalized weed man I mean like dude lmao it's just a plant xD
>>52884898
USB killer is a meme. Worst it can do is fry your usb port
>>52883106
I know your a faggot but weed is actually legal in the democratic peoples republic of north korea and grows everywhere because its a actually a weed.
>>52885222
That's it!
I'm moving to the People's Republic of Korea!
>let's give flash drives to people that don't even have computers
>implying this wouldn't be viewed as an act of war
Can't wait to see how this goes over.
Why not just, you know, buy flash drives in bulk? They're cheap as fuck.
>inb4 they put in porn or something that norks might mistake for porn and get executed
>You've been brainwashed by North Korean propaganda, and that's bad.
>Take this American propaganda instead.
>>52885732
You think they care enough to do that themselves?
>put loads of Trojans on them
>spread through computer illiterate Korea
>make it to the governing bodies
>reach Kim Jong-un's private computer
>extract porn habits and self erase
I mean, it's the most valuable thing in best Korea.

kek, I think you mean south korea. north just doesn't have it, south actuvely censors anything more sexual than kpop videos because christianity or some shit.
PS:

so you think the starving homeless are running around with laptops? and the desolate conditions of their lives leave them unconvinced, but our John Wayne movies are going to make them rise up in revolution?
>leftists want to culturally enrich another non-western culture
>rages like a retard when you dont accept the other non-western culture
IS THAT ACTUAL FUCKING BAIT?
Many North Koreans have never seen or used a computer. It would be more productive to just print the books and smuggle those in.
does Kim support foss?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_OS
>>52887138
there are more people than the homeless in north korea
before few even knew there were different cultures
through stuff like this more people become aware of other cultures
Boy USA sure likes to dip their fingers everywhere
>>52887191
it's not like foreign films are impossible to get there, in the Frontlines documentary they spend a significant amount of time showing people peddling american movies on the street

>>52883106
are americans asking americans to illegally download and distribute copyrighted material to another country?
>>52883106
and send everyone who even saw one to a forced labour camp.
you people have no fucking clue.
why do americans feel like they need to 'liberate' other countries? Those people are fucking happy as they are, stop rubbing your noses, that's none of your business you fucking dogs. Ignorance is bliss, let them think they are the best.

The cast majority of NK has no electricity. Good luck getting your chickens to power your toaster while you look at some books in English on a USB drive
This shit is already being done by nork defectors.
They smuggle in dvd and usbs using the border guards who then resell the wares through the communities. The packages are flown across the river and the border guards signaled.
>>52887390
>all the black propaganda,
what
>disgusting campaign about north korea, liberal media feeds false info
actual footage of starving korean kids and a well known food shortage is so disgusting and false those darn liberals always trying to expose human rights violations
>>52887429
>cut all the sources of food and threaten any country in case of trade
>people are starving all of a sudden
whoa, how surprising. just because they didn't join your chain of circlejerk which you call capitalism and global market, they should be eradicated. apparently, your 'human rights' don't apply for the regimes that are unlike yours. you didn't like the regime in Libya, now look at its state after holy democracy, or Iraq. USA is the prime evil of this world. I hope I can live enough to see its collapse. Real freedom will begin then.
Only good things came out of this
>>52887327
>Ignorance is bliss, let them think they are the best.
Hey, works for Americans.
>>52887513
it's not unreasonable to deny trade with countries that don't even allow their people freedom of movement, is NK your idea of "real freedom"?
>>52886230
>when 99.99999% probably don't even speak English
I think that's a pretty underrated issue.
Or are they planning to sub/translate everything ?
>>52887557
>the government of these people are oppressing them
>let's starve them! that'll show them we're the good guys!
Not who you're arguing with btw, but "denying trade" to North Korea doesn't hurt the government as much as it does the people
>>52887642
it's about starving the economy, it's not the governments job to feed oppressed people, that's why the red cross exists

Unlocked personal DVD players are by far the largest seller in best koreas black market.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-change-insight-idUSKBN0MM2UZ20150327
They can play dvds, or load files off of a flash drive.
have a chunk from that article.
Notel or 'notetel' - the name is a uniquely North Korean word combining 'notebook' and 'television' - are easily found on the black market for around 300 Chinese yuan ($48), and are also available in some state shops and markets.
The device was legalized last year, according to defector-run news outlets in Seoul - one of many recent measures taken by the state to accommodate grassroots change.
The new rules, however, also require North Koreans to register their notel, enabling authorities to monitor who is most likely to be watching banned foreign media.
North Koreans do not have access to the internet - those who can go online are limited to a state-run intranet, while the country's 2.5 million mobile phone subscribers are not allowed to call outside the country.
The notel comes from China, either smuggled or legally imported.
Lee Seok-young, a defector from the North, said he smuggled 18,000 Chinese-made notel into the country last year. He said he ordered them directly from a factory in Guangzhou that was likely still in production solely to satisfy the demands of the North Korean market.
