What Is Behind North Korea’s New Ban On Sarcasm?

Kim Jong-un’s Latest Criticism Crackdown


Like everything else, North Korea’s new sarcasm ban will probably be blamed internally on the US.

North Korea has officially banned sarcasm in everyday conversations. The “supreme leader” is apparently afraid people will only agree with him ironically, and he might be right. The running joke in North Korea right now is that he is a “fool who cannot see the outside world.”

There have been mass meetings put on by government officials to issue the warning that sarcastic statements about the regime and Kim Jong-un “will not be forgiven.” The oppressed people of North Korea have been told that veiled criticisms will be seen as “hostile action.”
