Like there’s literally no point at all in talking to these people who believe Kim Jong Un strapped a man to a rocket and blasted him into space and murdered his family. You can show them shit written by westerners debunking everything and they’ll shrug and say “ok but North Korea is still bad.” Tell them that North Koreans are subhumans in South Korea and they’ll shrug and roll their eyes. “How can they be discriminated? They’re Koreans!” Then immediately assume they’re a sinister spy when they decide to go back home.

I don’t go out of my way to defend North Korea but my god. These people make me sound like I’m an adherent of Juche because they simply cannot fathom that perhaps they’re being lied to.

    The worst thing is when someone who is a skeptic but still says like “I don’t like North Korea but a lot of the stories they tell about it are made up” and not once do they think “What even are the reasons I don’t like DPRK, and how many of them are made up?”

    Like, they reject the propaganda but still come to the same conclusion the propaganda wanted them to reach anyway.
