Some topics I've brought up in similar threads that have gotten positive responses:
Americans don't know shit about the Korean War (it's literally called "the forgotten war" here), and between that and it being far enough in the past you can get some people to see past the propaganda. You're still not going to get much traction on the DPRK today, at least not in the short term, but you have to start chipping away somewhere.

I think the gap between what people know about Korean history (either nothing or propaganda) and the reality of it is why you can get some movement in the right places.
