Let me know if there are any more suggestions. Regarding certain role changes, please suggest a way to make the changes accessible. I’m not going to add any more walls of text, so the changes should be user friendly and understandable without the text.

I can tell you the immediate response from anyone in the US upon looking at this: “Yeah but Kim Jong Un can kill anyone he doesn’t like so it doesn’t matter”
I have it here saying that Boeing just assassinated a whistleblower recently.
The US president being so important was always weird to me.
Until I learned that compared to my countries president, he has a bunch of actual official powers and gets to appoint the USs version of the ministers. Why the hell does one person have the power to veto laws and appoint the top executives of the laws that pass and issue vaguely defined executive orders that can seemingly overwrite any laws that still got through in a pinch. The only thing stopping the US president from just straight up overthrowing the legislature and ruling by decree is the fact that the Senators might get angry due to being out of a job and complain to the supreme court… one that the president nominates the members of.
Pretending that Kim Jung-Un isn’t the head of state is just silly. There’s no “premier” but Kim is “President of the State Affairs” which is effectively head of state.
The US side shows how each of the various heads got their position (all by presidential appointment), but the DPRK side doesn’t. Also it doesn’t say who the guy pictured for “(by Supreme People’s Assembly Presidential Appointment)” is and how he got his position.
And for “fairness”, it should probably mention that those presidential appointments require approval from the Senate (except the DNC Chair).
I took my mother out for lunch today and showed this to her, and her response was basically:
It’s absolutely inscrutable to people that aren’t terminally online. So it’s a perfect piece of leftist media.
not sure what this image is trying to say
I think the idea is that despite our much-hyped checks and balances, and the common perception of the DPRK as “basically an absolute monarchy of the Kims”, there is actually an argument to be made that power in the DPRK is actually less centralized in the executive than it is here.
not nearly wordy enough
i’d like to squeeze in a label of the guy who appointed Kim head of the military, and briefly expand on highest legislative powers, even if only to state explicitly that if a “bill” passes “congress” that’s it you’re done.
Our glorious leftist posters squeezing text onto memes in ways previously thought impossible
look at all that empty space!
also the meme should be in night mode rather than black text on white backgroud, your monitor isn’t a piece of paper.
the people yearn for readability in bright conditions, leave it how it is
Lose the paragraphs at the top. Don’t use specific names, just titles and their descriptions. Make it into a chart instead of a list. Don’t do the portraits either. The no names and no photos will work in your favor from a propaganda standpoint.
It’s certainly different. I was intrigued by your suggestion, because at face value it sounds correct that the no name/no photo thing will be better as you don’t come into it with your presuppositions, but it seems not as impactful IMO. You can’t tell at a glance that it’s one person occupying multiple posts. I think it’s very much a knowing your target audience thing.

no way bro actually supports dprk 💀💀💀💀
I support the DPRK because Kim Il Sung’s family was Presbyterian and I must have solidarity with his struggle against the countries who bombed all their churches
Imagine supporting the illegitimate Capitalists’ Republic of Korea over the DPRK LOL
