James Heenan, head of the UN Human Rights Office for North Korea, told a Geneva briefing that the number of executions for both normal and political crimes had increased since COVID-era restrictions.
An unspecified number of people had already been executed under new laws imposing the death penalty for distributing foreign TV series, including the popular K-Dramas from South Korea, he added.
If we find you watching Alien: Earth, we will take you out.
If an unspecified number of people had already been executed then how the fuck do they know the number of executions increased?
What you tankies lack is imagination. Think of the biggest number that seems plausible and then double it.
Need a “Communism Death Toll”? Just use a random number generator and then triple it. Then add zeroes til it sounds appropriately ridiculous.
Honestly, the way these idiots get their numbers for “deaths caused by communism” is insane. At one point, some of them claimed children that weren’t born due to industrialization, education, and state assistance in family planning, as deaths caused by communism. Which, may not be the most insane one, but did lead to jokes about “Stalin brand condoms”. “Red Rubbers! Prevent adding to overpopulation, and add to the Communism Death Toll at the same time!”
If we used these kinds of metrics for a Capitalism Death Toll… we’d hit much higher numbers for a far shorter time period, for sure. Even using these ridiculous metrics for communism deaths, and conservative estimates for capitalism deaths, capitalism still kills far more people. Especially children.
