No country is perfect, especially one subjected to a US led Western economic embargo for decades in the part of Korea with the least arable land.
But yea, effectively, it's all good in NK and the only issues are the ones created by the US.
You do realize the history of Korea, right?
How after the Japanese occupation, Communism had taken hold at a grassroots level as a way to rebuild the country behind the resistance led by Kim Il Sung, the man who effectively founded N. Korea after the US invaded, committed genocide on JeJu Island and started the Korean war?
All because of the US "war on Communism" Domino Theory.
So the US occupied S. Korea and N. Korea was simply trying to free them from another occupation force.
Did you know the US military ran S. Korea for decades after the Korean War and still has an outsized influence on it even today.
90% of what you know about Korea is CIA propaganda.
So yea, if the US would get it's ass out of SK, there would literally be nothing to worry about.
Please tell me not one here actually believes this nonsense.
You all do know they pay NK runaways for the most salacious lies, right? There's an actual "industry" backed by the CIA in SK and everything. It helps them get publishing deals and TV exposure. Because otherwise they can't get jobs in SK.
If you track back to the primary sources of any anti-NK article like this, if you can even find an actual source, it's always the CIA or one of it's NGOs.
I wasn't "getting pissy", I was making fun of them. YOU are the one getting pissy, dear boy.
It sure seems that reading for comprehension isn't anyone elses strong suit here.
For some of us, disambiguation wasn't a new word, and in particular,
Oh honey. It was obviously so new for him that he had to use it in two consecutive posts. He was trying for something. The kids always try to impress the adults in the room.
Bro, I don't know what propaganda you've swallowed. I can't anticipate where your knowledge holes are. You'll have to be thorough on your own dime.
I'm not getting paid to educate you.
Frankly, IDGAF what you believe one way or the other, I'm just trying to help you by pointing out the obvious.
You've fallen for CIA propaganda. Like how you think Communism is bad and don't seem to consider just how many billions of dollars the US spends every year to keep you believing that.
I'm sure the Fascists in control are happy with you though, so at least you've got that.
I mean, it's a thing the way all propaganda is a thing, but it's not just inaccurate it's deliberate because that's how propaganda works.
that doesn't change the hard facts that both sides somehow find their way to differently flavored authoritarianism
If you truly believe this you have no concept of what Socialism and/or Communism actually is and have fallen HARD for CIA propaganda.
Start with the FOIA section of the CIA website before they take it all down and read up on what the actually admit to when it comes to propagandizing US citizens.
Rage bait.
Bro are you paying attention to the US right now?
Yea, no country is perfect. NK doesn't lead the world in incarceration. NK doesn't routinely invade/overthrow other countries for their oil resources.
JFK, you can be propagandized, but don't be stupid.
It was never a conversation bro, it was me giving you truth.

Good talk.
Big Oil has started funding nuclear. That's an automatic fail.

Try it out.
That's a whole lotta words for nothing.
Projecting AND covering up for insecurities.
Nice.
Good boy.
LOL
As if you deserve more.
You don't even realize you're propagandized by the CIA.
LOL
Look at you pulling out the numbered list like a BIG BOY!
See, now try to imagine if you put even that much effort into figuring out what other low-hanging CIA propaganda you fell for!!
You poor thing.
So I'm getting that I should just lead with this when I address the clueless like you on Lemmy?
Would that work better for you?
I was trying to be nice, but if you require that kind of thing, I'm not yucking anybodies yum.
You Idiot Child.
"Getting pissy at people..."
I wasn't "getting pissy", I was making fun of them. YOU are the one getting pissy, dear boy.
It sure seems that reading for comprehension isn't anyone elses strong suit here.

You'll realize this eventually. Maybe.

Toodles.
Keep reading. You'll get there eventually. I'm sure you're patient and diligent enough. I have faith in you.
YOU CAN DO EET!
You are projecting David.
I'm far to old to be impressed by a new vocabulary word. Nothing more.
Sue me.

LOL Ok kid, whatever you say.
Here's a fruit rollup, go outside and play.
You're pretty clever for a 12 year old, I have to admit.
Tiny brains are easily exploded.
It's... not the ghosts that you should worry about.
Is this that projecting that Dems do so well?
If every 3rd party voter had voted for Kamala you'd have still lost.
Against a 41x felon and pedo.
How fucked up is that when your position sucks so bad NOTHING can prop it up?
And people wonder why I voted for a black woman for president in that election.
Oh, the one who DIDN'T support a genocide. I know how that part tends to confuse Blue MAGA when I tell them.
Dems will hound him doggedly for donations next election cycle.
It bothers me that your reading comprehension skills are so bad.
Some of you kids shoulda definitely have been left behind.
