The name has been almost permanently ruined. Whenever people hear of it, they always think of no food, 1984, worshipping the leader, getting your entire family arrested for not doing so, all that stuff. And if you say otherwise, they just call you a propagandist who is hiding the truth. And even if Korea’s government does anything like build a water park, people say that it is just to “fool the world into believing they are good”. Like they can’t even build an entire village without people saying that they are just building it to deceive people.

At least China is taken seriously by a lot of people.

    I get the distinct impression that all of these replies come from the same person running different accounts. I find it hard to believe that there are this many people replying within minutes to me on Lemmy with such strongly positive opinions about North Korea.

    Do you bring these same crushing powers of observation to your understanding of Amerikkkan propaganda?

    You’re in Lemmygrad. Not “on Lemmy”.
