    That’s it. I’m done with Lemmy. What the fuck is this communist dictator apologist propaganda?

      That’s quite the point of lemmy, block instance you don’t want to interact with, or better, open up to views that are not curated by US

        Will you tell us about your personal experiences with the glory of North Korea, OP? Please, let is know where all your rock-solid knowledge of the subject matter comes from.

          Is your point that only those that have visited the DPRK have a right to speak on it? At best, this means most of us are equally unable to speak on it, meaning any condemnation of it as an evil country akin to Mordor is as absurd as those claiming it isn’t an evil country akin to Mordor.

      I’ve seen this image before in a Christian nationalist context and I’ve found it really funny how light pollution is their metric on how good the country is

    I mean, objectively, the dprk is largely underdeveloped which is enough for me to say i wouldn’t want to live there (and yes it doesn’t help that the entire world hates them and wont leave then alone). Last I knew lots of housing was getting built in rural areas though, which is good.

    interesting how there is so much 3rd party discourse about dprk, one side saying it’s bad while another side says it’s good, yet we hardly hear 1st hand experiences. why don’t we see at least some north koreans on lemmy or other platforms sharing their personal experiences of living there, telling us whether they think it’s bad or good? or why isn’t there north korean platform accesibile to the public where non-north koreans can peek into the activities of north koreans? it’s pretty much just outsiders arguing with other outsiders with no input from the insiders

      You actually can listen to what citizens of the DPRK are saying, it’s just difficult to find. The DPRK heavily restricts access to the global internet because they are under intense siege, but people visit the DPRK frequently (less so in the post-COVID years but steadily increasing over time), and citizens of the DPRK visit neighboring countries like China as well.
