You talking about this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Jung-geun

You see the difference between the South and the North here is that he was sent to court, where he successfully defended himself (or his lawyer did) and not a gulag.

The DPRK has a court system as well, though. Both sides have courts and prisons, what's being highlighted here is that the ROK legally prohibits anyone from outwardly sympathizing with the DPRK. Historically, the government in South Korea has also slaughtered resistance, from the Jeju Island Massacres to the Gwang-ju Massacre.

OP frequently posts pro-Russia articles. I suspect they don't want to see the difference.

i wonder if this would be funny if i recognized the image.

i envy you for not knowing who the rock is.

[โ€“] juliebean@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

i know who the rock is, but that doesn't help me get whatever joke may or may not be happening here.

[โ€“] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the joke is the rock being incarcerated for breaking south korea's laws; namely the south korean laws about publicly speaking in a favorable manner about north korea

so the specific image adds nothing (since being arrested anywhere for anything usually ends up with being in a cell), and could just be any image depicting anyone in a cell?

perhaps it was foolish of me to think there was a joke here.

This meme is funny because it implies most north Koreans are allowed to use Twitter.
