Been 3 years and I still think about this from time to time. Sooooo many boohoos over a monarchist 🙄

Watched this film today, it’s pretty good.
I love how NK is being directly compared to a literal monarchy here, accidental self-aware moment
Brits insist they’re a democracy, don’t they? They’re included in the “Democratic west vs authoritarian east” rhetoric. Weird how the goalpost shifts when your side is transparently coming out worse.
