      Surely it’s not controversial to say North Korea is a totalitarian state ruled by an absolute leader that outlawed and violently represses any and all forms of political opposition, including those to his left, right?

      I’m the first to shit on peoples’ inability to see past cold war propaganda, as evidenced by a lot of my post history in this subreddit or one of my related comics or another one, there’s plenty. Speaking as a non-reactionary, the DPRK is one of the worst examples to use in your comparison. It is not a country you should be stanning for, or using as a tool in a stupid game of “source for human rights abuse???”. It does get a very unfair treatment and representation in western media and diplomacy, sure, but it doesn’t make it a good comparison when the other one is a country where you can publicly denounce the propaganda without making yourself a target.

      Where are all the DPRK Lemmy users? Oh yes, right, probably too busy smoking the “works cited” bong to participate.

        Did you seriously just link HRW as evidence? Not gonna take the word from a western organization that is nothing more than an extension of imperialism. What a joke lol.

        Feel free to show me a single documented instance of what you’re claiming.

          Right, only juche sources will be tolerated when discussing the juche. Glory to our dear leader and his socialist utopia.

          Have fun with your public self-humiliation ritual, I’m not into it.
