How can there be such horrible people in this world.
You don’t read a lot of history do you?
It is as it always has been.
If you were an ‘Old Bolshevik’ — with early party membership, plenty of connections with the other old bores, an heroic reputation in the civil war and a personal friend of Krupskaya — you were as good as gold.
Until you weren’t.
Hell, every tiny dictator in a place of business would be like that if only given the chance.
Well liked people, who are promoted, are “in charge” and begin metaphorically crucifying workers.
The bakery manager at a grocery store, who instead of praising good work, gives a Hitlerian grimace and declares, “That’s the way I like it.”
Everyone has the ability to be evil, most of us thankfully don’t get the chance.
I don’t believe this for one second. Most people have the chance to be evil, but don’t have the ability. Those who have a true ability for evil don’t need to be given a chance, they take it.
I blame Rankin-Bass Holiday cartoons.
No. Even if Rankin-Bass Holiday cartoons were re-done with Alyson Hannigan and written as Porn, it couldn’t explain a mind that badly twisted…
You think most people would have their uncles executed if they had the chance? :eek:
Kim’s evil is quite literal, not metaphorical.
I can think of a past relative or two. Honest.
So you would make them ‘passed relatives’…
Well, they were little shits.
So what’s the next nutty step? Tossing a friendly nuke over the pond?
The dragging out of a public meeting, the absurdly over-the-top trumped charges including unenthusiastic applause, the “despicable human scum, worse than a dog, thrice-cursed traitor” insults, the reports of all charges being proven and admitted…
… this Kim is going seriously Old School Style with the purgin’, isn’t he? No simple removal followed within days by a mysteriou accident or sudden-onset illness, eh?
Then again, Auntie’s husband had already been purged/disgraced once before but got himself rehabilitated, so I guess they wanted to make sure he stayed purged this time around.
Like I said, most of us don’t get the chance.
I have a Little List.
Don’t you? 
Auntie Kyong Hui seems to be doing just fine, at least for now. She might have even been involved in her husband’s purging.
As if the situation wasn’t crazy enough, everyone’s favorite cross-dressing basketball player (Dennis Rodman) has decided that now is a good time to visit his buddy Kim Jong Il again.
You’d think recent events might prompt him to re-think his travel plans, but apparently not.
Here is an interesting story, that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un executed his uncle with his five closest aides by stripping them naked and tossing them into a cage holding 120 starving dogs. These 120 hounds, starved for three days, were allowed to prey on them until they were completely eaten up. This is called ‘quan jue’, or execution by dogs,” according to the Straits Times of Singapore.

Nobody here would believe this, right?
What has Rodman to fear? I hear he loves dogs. It’s Donald Trump he needs to worry about.
Who knows if it is true, but the story ads another elegant touch: the alleged eaten-by-dogs execution is reported to have been witnessed by Kim Jong Un and 300 other top officials.
