slowly walking towards the sign waving "anti-imperialist" DSA, checking for kneejerk reptilian brain reactions 👁️

    It’s really hard to know anything about the dprk definitively given the isolation

    What isolation? People from there travel all the time. If you're in the US, you could have visited for yourself up until Otto Warmbier died, and if you're outside the US you could have visited up until covid. There are numerous videos online from people in the DPRK, both of official events/festivals/concerts and of average everyday shopping. There are people from the DPRK living in various places and many of them are not your average "defector" grifters.

    The narrative that "we just can't know anything :(" is so completely incorrect. It's a regular fucking country and we know that for sure.

      I just meant most of the info you’ll see in the imperial core is heavily skewed propaganda. I mean look at Cuba rn there right next door and speak a language widely spoken in the us and there’s still a ton of misinformation about them in mainstream discourse.

      And isolated more in terms economics and sanctions.
