My co-worker believes the DPRK is a uniquely evil and incompetent state that is in a constant state of famine. They are the most failed and corrupt state.

I told him that DPRK has been incredibly fucked over historically and has been punished on every front for the crime of existing.

Does anyone have any good info I can arm myself with? Or help at articulating something that might get through. He's very much a 'facts and logic' type of lib.

    If you could get them to listen to Blowback that'd be an amazing feat, but i'm not sure you're gonna really change their mind without really getting them understand the DPRK is a country that has been under seige since its very existence and we have been running a propaganda campaign against them for pretty much ever. If they're reasonably young you can try Boyboy's We Went to North Korea to Get a Haircut (on youtube) to introduce them to recognizing some of the propaganda maybe?
