It really cannot get more blatantly red scare propaganda than this - this dialogue between characters on tonight’s episode of #Snowdrop

Seeing Soo-ho (NK spy pretending to be college student
Yeongro: I think he got chased after he was protesting 😭😭 we have to hide him
Hyeryeong: are u crazy? They say he’s a spy!
Jungmin: He’s no spy! That’s just the lies the police tell us all the time.

Worth pointing out that “Jungmin” is the roommate that is the hardcore student activist (they gave her short hair and glasses because activism means you do not have time to get glam) - and Jungmin is the one who says “that’s just police propaganda”

To speak plainly
- Countless innocent activist students were kidnapped arrested tortured for being/working with North Korean spies
- However, #Snowdrop chose to show an activist student decide to help an actual North Korean spy, thinking he’s an activist

- Conclusion: #Snowdrop asks the question, “well maybe the NSA had a point? What if there really WERE North Korean spies hiding among students? And the students themselves were too stupid to know? What if only the NSA were really able to catch these spies?”

lol fwiw I didn’t watch tonight’s episode
I got sent this by a kindly internet stranger who was horrified
