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.
Obviously they can't, but it's better to see the North Korean state as colonial imposition to be combated as far as is practically possible than as a good strategy. Take for example Venezuela's devolution of power to communes or Bolivia's evangelist internationalism. That's what combatting the state in the face of imperialism looks like.
