To liberals, the DPRK might as well be Mordor. Growing up in the US, there's nothing quite like the insane level of casual dehumanization of Asian people from countries America has occupied or bombed. You take people who can see in real time the absurd lies Israel tells about the people it's exterminating, but they lose the ability to put two and two together when they encounter something that lets them feel smugly superior to the victims of our aerial genocide. We killed 20 percent of them and leveled every single building for the crime of not wanting to be our colony, and then they spent the rest of the century rebuilding themselves from dirt and blood with the entire capitalist world trying to gatekeep them out of modernity. But of course, we never hear about any of that. It's just the same dumbass story we get about everywhere we've fucked over: they hate us because they're jealous, because they're crazy, they hate us for our freedoms, they have an authoritarian culture, they're all brainwashed, trust me bro I heard it on the news.
The same smug, thought-terminating incuriosity is on display in this thread. Look at the level of critical thought my society encourages in it's citizens dawg. Is it any wonder even tiny embargoed socialist countries have managed to do so much with so little, while the richest capitalist hearts of empire can't seem to provide anything for the people living here except ever-expanding horizons of exploitation and despair?

Yeah, its disgusting, hopefully the tides will turn soon against the west

Louder for the people in the back.

Science

Long and easily verifiable history of western media stories about NK being proven completely wrong+obvious foreign policy motive for lying=dismiss stories until they're proven true

Downvoted for speaking the truth as usual, most westerners react poorly to being reminded that they're not immune to propaganda
-
Capitalism's 'bread and circus' might be the most addictive drug of all, they close their minds off to anything that goes against the narratives because the western audience would rather not think about it and enjoy the fruits of the exploitation. Blissful ignorance and all that
-
Except they've been steadily scaling back both the bread and the circuses for decades now and westerners are generally as willfully ignorant as ever

Two Australians go to North Korea to get a hair cut while debunking Western propaganda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BO83Ig-E8E

Yeah after a good bit of my own investigation, they just seem on par with any other poor country. Not something I'm going to worship, but not something I'm going to spend time complaining about either.

It's definitely a very poor country
Look up the arduous march, and how the US terrorized them during this period.
I don't think anyone is arguing the US wasn't responsible for the current state of affairs, but ok
Compared the glutenous western capitalists, of course! The people of NK rebuilt their country with blood, sweat, and tears after the US bombed them to hell and back under the direction of the occupiers and despite the west's utter determination to hold them back technologically with ridiculous unjustified sanctions

gluttonous: excessively greedy
glutenous: a tenacious elastic protein substance especially of wheat flour that gives cohesiveness to dough
