Pristine and Cohesive
This is an extraordinarily, absolutely, uniquely cohesive political entity and society… I’ve been there. I’ve seen it up close and personal… They do have a satellite circling the Earth. They do have a cohesive, pristine, innocent culture. A culture that has not been penetrated by globalisation and by Western mores… I’m much more afraid of the United States of America and so are most people in the world.
Noted bedlamite George Galloway praises that “courageous” stronghold of purity, North Korea.
We have must have purity! Why am I not shocked that Galloway has a major hard-on for Kim Jong-un?
Weird how lefties idealize cohesion and unanimity while schisming daily… or not weird: the only way to get there is by getting rid of the heretics. But they still dream of a day when nobody will even think of heresy.
Sam,
Why am I not shocked that Galloway has a major hard-on for Kim Jong-un?
Well, Mr Galloway is a big fan of purity and cohesion, and it’s hard to think of a dictator or theocratic savage that didn’t make him tingle in his special place.
Art,
the only way to get there is by getting rid of the heretics.
Aside from Mr Galloway’s brain fever and trademark opportunism (he is of course fulminating on Iran’s Press TV, where derangement never dies), he may even be a little envious of North Korea’s latest Great Wizard, who after all has certain… resources for dealing with impurities. And you can see the psychological appeal for a man like George. If only the people who laugh at his narcissism and shittiness would just… disappear.
Interestingly, his main concern with North Korea is that they don’t believe in God. Which makes me wonder why he hates the USA so much, which is full of feverish believers
Funny how Galloway never wants to live in any of the hell holes he tells us are so wonderful.
Baroness Thatcher, I salute your indefatigability.
I wonder how up close and personal. As a tourist staying in a hotel in Pyongyang and being closely guarded 24/7, or as a peasant starving in the fields of rural NK. This man is barking.
“Interestingly, his main concern with North Korea is that they don’t believe in God.”
He got a bit carried away but remembered his constituents and his employers just in time!
has not been penetrated by globalisation
I’ll just leave that one there for you.
This is…a cohesive, pristine, innocent culture.
Or a totalitarian nightmare with death camps and gas chambers.
They’re easily confused.
To be fair, the United States is far more dangerous than North Korea. It is simply a matter of power.
The U.S. could in fact do grave and potentially fatal damage to civilization. By full commitment to the “global warming” program, for instance. Or by adopting and spreading the corrupt political culture exemplified by the EU.
The U.S. has the power to subvert sound governments and promote very dubious alternatives. Hondurans who remember the U.S.’s support of ex-President Zelaya against his lawful impeachment almost certainly fear the U.S. more than North Korea.
Compared to the U.S., the worst that North Korea can do is petty mischief.
To be fair, the United States is far more dangerous than North Korea. It is simply a matter of power.
To be fair, the pickup truck I drive to work is far more dangerous than a .45 in the hands of a common street thug. Especially if you stand on your head, close one eye, and squint real hard.
Ah…sorry, misread your Zelaya comment. Honduras, see Chase Me Ladies. got it. but still. the “global warming” thing threw me.
svh,
I’ll just leave that one there for you.
Yes, it’s odd that he implicitly associates freedom from despotism with the deflowering of an “innocent culture.”
Pristine indeed.
Not sure if others get this, but my Kaspersky AV warns me that the freekorea.us website has “malicious software” in it. However YMMV…
I like to think of him as George “The Least Respected politician in Britain” Galloway.
Look who came top of that poll, and who was second.
If you want barking mad have a look at the One Show (on the BBC) from Wednesday.
They had somebody on who said North Korea was nothing to worry about and that it was just a funny little place with traffic cops waving to non-existent traffic and lots of big statues. You know, chill out, relax, it’s just a funny little place, an open air theme park.
Further irony added by the presence of a telly baker as another guest. The crack team of presenters should have turned to him and said “why don’t you make a show that tells them what bread is because few North Koreans would recognise a load of bread even if it hit them on the head.”
Few things on television make my jaw drop. This was the first thing in several years to have said effect.
“uniquely cohesive political entity and society”
No diversity or multiculturalism, then. Racist bastards.
“A culture that has not been penetrated by globalisation and by Western mores”
Insular, racist bastards.
Galloway repeatedly defends immigration and multiculturalism within the UK by reminding us just how supposedly gray and dull life was in 1950s Britain, before the vibrant enrichment bestowed upon us by the newcomers. Conversely, North Korea’s closed society has apparently produced a ‘cohesive, pristine, innocent culture’.
Socialists are rather good at selectively applying their ‘principles’.
enbee,
They had somebody on who said North Korea was nothing to worry about and that it was just a funny little place with traffic cops waving to non-existent traffic and lots of big statues.
Michael Totten:
And that’s a rather good point, isn’t it? How would we know?
If you drew a Venn diagram of “those who say someone should have assassinated Hitler in 1926” and “those who say NK are just posturing and won’t do anything” would it look like a single circle?
There is something extraordinarily anal retentive about socialists.
They are obsessed with unity and purity. The idea of a people marching en masse towards a brighter future, without a whiff of disharmony or dissent, and all looking identical in their bright red scarfs worn in precisely the same manner, makes socialists flush with excitement.
The libertarian vision, on the other hand, where people are free to do whatever, however, whenever in their own preferred and unique manner, strikes terror in the hearts of socialists.

One wonders if Laurie Penny will be quite so enamoured of violence and anarchy if it is visited on the assorted crusties, anarchists and pubescent socialists celebrating MrsThatcher’s death in Trafalgar by several thousand pissed up Millwall fans.
David, another classic sentence…
“when we make fun of the craziness of Kim Jong-un, we’re making fun of an entire belief system and culture, which is racism at its facile best.”
