I remember when I was young seeing videos of North Korea, of audiences always giving rapt standing ovations and many people fake fainting, and I always thought "How dumb and stupid does everyone have to be to carry on this absurd, ridiculous charade."

I don't wonder anymore.

At least there you might be asked to stand in front of a canon if you don’t kiss ass hard enough.

Imagine telling those North Koreans that there are millions of people in the US that do it all for free.

Hell, some will even pay extra for access to the highest levels of ass kissing.

I remember the top tech bros sitting at white house dinner for some serious asskissing, followed by paying zillions for the new golden extension.

Wow such integrity, much win.

"What's the point of having fuck you money if you never say fuck you."

They are all horrible. If there is ever a reckoning, I hope this entire class of spineless shits get destroyed.

What if the whole world population would have F-Y money enough for subsistence and would not have to perform the act of asskissing or complying? Not luxury but basic needs met alright, something like the basic income the democrats blocked during Nixon era(twice actually).

How fast we'd fix this shit?

I have no doubt in my mind that, more than once, Kim Jong Un has found himself watching TV going "come on, this guy is fucking ridiculous"

They probably play StarCraft together and shit talk each other the whole time.

"lol, I no longer the craziest leader in the world"

trump saw the meme "north korea is best korea" and said Hold my strawberry mcMilkshake!

Not that dumb and stupid. You don't want to be the guy NOT frantically scribbling the Dear Leader's every word into your notebook.

The fake fainting might be an easy get out of having to cheer and bounce for ages.
