Mass Rally Held in Pyongyang of DPRK
Pyongyang, June 26 (KCNA) – A Pyongyang mass rally took place at the May Day Stadium on June 25, the day of struggle against U.S. imperialism.
Attending the mass rally were more than 100 000 people, including officials and workers of working people’s organizations, ministries, national agencies, institutions and industrial establishments and youth and students in Pyongyang.
On hand were members of the diplomatic corps and military attaches corps in the DPRK and overseas Koreans who are staying here.
The stadium was full of the spirit of avengers to annihilate the enemy who massacred the Korean people. The participants in the rally watched a video disclosing the thrice-cursed crimes committed by the U.S. imperialist aggressors and the ROK puppets during the Fatherland Liberation War, and the enemy’s ever-escalating moves to stifle the DPRK.
The speakers, in reflection of the retaliatory spirit of all the people, expressed their will to annihilate the U.S. imperialists and the ROK puppets, the unchangeable arch enemy, at any cost, bitterly denouncing the inhumane crimes committed by the sworn enemy.
They said that the frantic moves of the U.S. imperialists and the ROK puppets to ignite a nuclear war, oblivious of the shameful historical lesson, in which they suffered the bitter defeat by the DPRK people all out in the sacred war for defending the country more than 70 years ago, clearly shows the true colors of the aggressors and provocateurs that can never change despite the lapse of 700 or 7 000 years.
They said that they will always bear in mind the immutable truth that the might of the country and the people should be strong in order to defend their destiny and future, ceaselessly bolster up the strength of the country, the strongest war deterrent with the most just mission, and concentrate on preparing for the all-people resistance, thus clearly showing those disturbing the cause of the DPRK what miserable and bitter end they will meet.
Saying that hitting the 12 major targets for national economy development just means dealing a sledgehammer blow to the enemy, the speakers expressed their will to make innovations and increase production at their worksites and achieve greater patriotic successes, thus fully demonstrating the dignity and might of the country and emerge always victorious in the confrontation with the imperialists and the U.S.
Then followed a demonstration.
The demonstrators marched, hardening their unshakable outlook on the arch enemy and steadfast resistance will and chanting the slogans for annihilating the enemy with strong fighting spirit and self-confidence to win a great victory in the sacred war against the U.S. imperialists and the ROK puppets. -0-

Uncritical support to turbo-mega-gulaging clowns who choose not to show up to the anti-imperialism rally
I keep forgetting how much liberals seem to literally believe the DPRK is this Truman Show esque society where everything and everyone is performative, existing only for the benefit of onlooking western liberals.
This sort of belief is extremely pervasive and keeps coming up time and time again whenever I talk about the DPRK with literally anyone in my irl life, and it still manages to blindside me every time with how truly, deeply unserious this shit is in the west
Even more shocking is that actually going to the country isn’t enough to convince them. There was a video on Reddit of a guy in a North Korean car shop loudly filming the place and saying the people there were actors with a straight face. And the Reddit liberals all believed him and didn’t once accuse him of being an insane conspiracist.
There’s a reason that I don’t talk about the DPRK with liberals in my life. It is never worth it. I’ll argue about China til we’re both blue in the face. I’ll argue about the USSR for days straight. I’ll argue about Cuba for a while, if doing so strategically benefits me or prevents a more unpleasant argument. I’ll argue about failed revolutions, if it makes my point about one yet to come. What I won’t do, is argue about specific countries where I know the argument is no fun for me, serves no purpose, and will make me look like a crank in the eyes of a “moderate” Western liberal.
I’d rather deal with the assumptions they make about my positions when I just physically walk away when it comes up, rather than have to talk about it. I just leave the room. Sometimes with a lame excuse, 90% of the time I just walk away silently and no one indicates they’ve noticed.
I’d rather argue with a Hungarian nationalist about '56 for an hour than argue with any Western liberal I actually know about the DPRK for 15 minutes. And '56 is the other thing I have a rule about of “Say nothing, leave room, not worth it, the end of this incident won’t be the end of the matter.”
And meanwhile I’m sitting at work in the evil empire
