OK, so it’s not really a hot take, but whatever liberals think they ”know” about the DPRK comes from a 2010 Top 10 Reasons North Korea Is The World’s Craziest Dictatorship article from Cracked.com or that racist song from Team America: World Police (I could go into that movie too, but this thread isn’t about it). They seriously think the DPRK is a hivemind who believe Kim Jong-Il hit 18 hole in ones (lol I almost wrote home runs, should’ve honestly just left it) the first time he went golfing.
Really, even if everyone in the DPRK believed that, would it be any worse than every burgerlander thinking the slave owning founding fathers loved Democracy and Freedom?
I can confirm that when talking to even the most left-leaning liberal (who wants free healthcare and that kind of socialism), even saying that not all accusations made against the DPRK are true (if I say “North Korea was an industrial powerhouse together with Japan in the 1960s and wasn’t that bad until the 1990s famine”) will turn you into some crazy madman in the eyes of the liberals. You’ve been warned.
