North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (L), wearing the white uniform of a marshal, appears at a military parade at Kim Il-sung Square in Pyongyang on April 25, 2022, to mark the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army, in this photo released the next day by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency. His appearance in a white uniform is reminiscent of his grandfather, the North’s founder Kim Il-sung (R), who held a victory parade in Pyongyang right after the July 1953 armistice agreement that ended the 1950-53 Korean War. Kim Il-sung appeared wearing a white uniform, which is recognized by the country’s residents as a clear indication of his position as supreme commander. The identical attire worn by the two is interpreted as the North’s apparent attempt to step up idolization of Kim Jong-un and consolidate his power. (Yonhap)

(Insert sound track of Hank Williams Jr singing Family Tradition.)

Although I don’t recall stories of the earlier Kim Fatties murdering their siblings, I am certain they were just as capable of doing the necessary.

He doesn’t have it down and likely mostly to DPRK propaganda he believes. KIS was most likely making a simple hand gesture that was photographed and explained as Supreme Dear Leader Knife hand. KJU now emulates with a higher elbow the critical family on the spot guidance but cunningly without the headgear since his haircut is the closest direct visual connection to his dead dear Grandfather.
