Queen - "We Will Rock You" VS Anaal Nakrath - "We Will Fucking Kill You"
The sad truth of weight training: unless you have peak 0.01% freak genes, then pick two and only two of the following: strong, lean, natty(not on steroids). However, the silver lining: as long as one of the things you picked is "natty" you are gonna vastly improve your health and quality of life.
Whatever you do, do it with intention.
The book The Reluctant Communist is a very DQN read. Aside from the state-sponsored GFs (and eventually wives) and the party cadres wanting said gf to have more sex with the author, it's a fascinating look into the fringes of Nork society and how more than anything, boredom is what drives disobedience there rather than ideological differences. Boredom seems to be the biggest Achilles' heel of communist society, as I have read similar things about the Soviet Union. It is also a snapshot of the early jangamadang era and the deterioration of the late Il-sung period, with civilians talking about gaming the system and such. Even party members seemed more concerned about their welfare than anything else. It surprised me that individualism shone through in people raised in a society like that, cadres no less! (Ironically, the personal gain being sought along with the surveillance and the kickbacks and privilege from the Songun policy is probably what has kept the Kim family from being overthrown by the military) The foreigners living there seemed more concerned about the rules than many party members. However, I guess that's obvious, as they would probably get punished less severely than your average citizen. It was very reflective of the human condition, as some did it for small power over people, but many were just trying to improve their lives, and some were even empathetic and friendly. This is so different because most other accounts I have read from inside the north were from natives in concentration camps. Hence, the true sadists of the party probably worked there instead of dealing with civilians. Juche is also not as far-left as it presents itself because, in practice, it's (was?) a communist monarchy more than anything, and racial purity was reportedly emphasized. It also made me understand why people, especially those in dire living conditions, get married and have children: it makes a shitty life and situation less unbearable.
More than anything, what stood out to me (aside from that, the Northern dialect of Korean phased out Chinese characters given both the proximity and the closeness of governments) was how the propaganda material stopped being propaganda after a while. People are just glad to do things like sing and savor their life milestones despite the rituals dripping in veneration for Il-sung and how similar the surveillance and propaganda the author faced are to the ones we face today in the west. Fittingly, they're privatized here, and people are far more cooperative and brainwashed, probably because they make it entertaining, and that seems to be what people seek and crave the most. This is why association football is prevalent regardless of almost every sociological factor despite often being a venue of corruption, violence, and propaganda. Maybe this oppression is just how society inherently works, and we just call it different things and hide it to various degrees.
I recommend it. It's not an account of average North Korean daily life because foreigners are essentially not allowed to mingle with regular society. Still, it's much closer than most defector books of prisons and gulags. Just be aware there's some personal life stuff in there, and it was pre-Jong-un.
I love how desperately they try to get non-voters to vote and thinly veiled begging to vote for their candidate
