they keep talking as though we fundamentally want the same things but have different views on how to achieve it. no, i want the amerikkkan state and its allies wiped from the face of the earth and every one of its politicians, media cheerleaders, military brass, etc shot, even the ones who are ok with me being trans! i don't want a "lesser evil". i want the people to assert themselves on the world historical stage and drag you and everyone like you from your comfortable homes. you are the modern incarnation of the Nazis, you are actively carrying out the worst atrocity i have seen in my life, and yet you think you can convince me to do anything for you, let alone not actively work for your overthrow and execution???

    There were and are churches there (with the pause for being bombed to rubble by USA) but they weren't at any point even close to being "christian nation", let alone "one of the most christian nations". There were below 10% of christians in Korea around 1950, and the % in DPRK is even less now, it was below 2% at 2005. Even occupied part of Korea, where there is some 30% christians now is nowhere near to be called "christian nation".

    EDIT: there are 5 churches in Pyongyang officially, number similar to large village or small town in let's say Poland.

      I think at its peak Pyongyang was 1/6th Christian. Which isn't a big deal for Euros but in East Asia the missionaries were salivating at those numbers. It was considered a huge success and both sides leveraged that narrative to cast Christians as either oppressed by the evil soviets or bombed to oblivion by their own bretheren.
