One of my colleagues sent me a link showing a documentary of North Korea. It is well worth watching.

CNN provide some background here.

  1. The documentary Kimjongilia also highlights the horrors of totalitarianism and Communism well.

  2. Anyone read the batshit insane supporters of North Korea on the CNN articles comment section?

  3. Vice do some really good journalism. Mostly short, gonzo-style pieces, but covering some really strange events/activities (like this piece on North Korea.) I love their sense of humour, and their editors seem to come from some kind of anarcho-libertarian-vaguely-right-wing perspective. Which is probably why, the only other time I’ve seen them get a mention in the MSM was a snarky hypercritical piece by John Harms in The Monthly. Good to know they’re still independent.

  4. The magazine was originally a work for the dole zine project in Montreal! Good things can come out of Canada.

  7. I think soy is strictly a luxury for party apparatchiks.

  10. Fisk, Hitchens piece was proceeding well until I read this:

    Myers makes a persuasive case that we should instead regard the Kim Jong-il system as a phenomenon of the very extreme and pathological right.

    Following that, I was speechless.

  11. Hitchens is an idiot with a posh accent and a well-practiced line in contrarian baiting. Nothing more.
