    I would love to compare how North Korea mourned over the Kim Il-Sung and compare it to how the UK is reacting. Even given that one was the ultimate badass who risked his life for liberation and then led a country after it got genocided. The other happened to be born into the right family, and that's it.

    It's like the point I make constantly about how Americans revere the Founding Fathers far, far more than the North Koreans revere the Kims. With a token gestures (schools, roads, etc) I mean, not actual reverence.
