I think I mentioned before I had seen many videos when Kims father died and was floored at the degree of grief they exhibited then. But then we do know it’s required or dastardly things will be done to them. Even so...imagining this many people so completely submissive to any authority would be hard enough to imagine..but this stuff just defies reason. No wonder their military is so large...I think more to keep the people in line then fight a war!
I still say some of this outpouring of emotion might be other than grief...just using the occasion to let off steam otherwise they’ve had to suck up...and the more the better. Getting that out of their system just might be more helpful then we might think...if they do rebel it would require clear thinking and few able to do so with years of pent up emotions.
I’m sure you-tube will have some of this funeral as well.
That is North Korea.
A few have the common sense or the will to escape. This is just one more obligatory meeting they are forced by their local unit to turn out and support; their were reports some months back that they had practice "crying sessions" to get ready for the big day when Chia Pet kicked the bucket, so they could position the most vigorous and convincing weepers up in the front...it appears from the video this is precisely what they have done. They are also I am convinced, filming people crying at one event and then putting the videos into various parts of the parade to kind of reflect that at this intersection or that monument, certain people gathered and cried. But the sky looks different and it looks like a splice job. I doubt they could leave anything up to full live TV as possible mistakes would occur. They could then videotape crying in advance and make sure it had no errors, then add it into the live broadcast as appropriate. Actually, very amateruish in a way. The trained eye can see these oddities and contradictions.
