Well you are and have been for a while misrepresenting this discussion, so if you are really as knowledgeable as you claim then we can leave it here.

Яъне, он қадар китоб хондаӣ, лекин ҳеҷ тарбият наёмӯхтӣ? Падарат ба ту чӣ ёд додааст? 😔

This has nothing to do with whether or not gay people exist, but how society views or deals with these topics. The total absence of any law shouldn’t be taken to mean societal approval. If it’s so taboo that they won’t even talk about it, there won’t be any mention of it publicly or at home, so no laws, and some people will grow up not knowing what it is.

You seem not to be very well aware of how this works. Part of the marginalization of sexual minorities does involve pretending they don’t exist, and you may also have heard of this place called the closet but if you don’t know what that is you can ask someone else.

If you think all gay people are open and out in the DPRK and they get treated well by society, I would be a bit skeptical.

Like I mentioned elsewhere, communism in North Korea isn’t California communism…

Аҳ, душмани диринаи ман… Мебинам, ки ҳанӯз ёд нагирифтӣ чӣ тавр бо дигарон дуруст муошират кунӣ.

I have no opinion on this, it’s just that in traditional or conservative societies most people may not know about these matters especially if they’re taboo

Probably much like it is in any other country

A lot of people grow up in the world not being well informed about sex and sexuality… not necessarily unique to Korea, but it is indeed possible that there is still this type of social conservatism there. Homosexuality was usually criminalized in communist countries until just very recently, and I am not currently aware of its status in the DPRK but I’m not sure I’d automatically assume that it’s a leader in that area.

I’m guessing, if you are from the West, you have this misconception that values associated with communism are the same as they are in your country, but over here in the East it can be different. It’s no coincidence that today one of the most outspoken anti-LGBT countries in the world is Russia, and that also relates back to the country’s Soviet past. In Russia the kinds of people who want the USSR back and love Stalin, are a type of right-wing conservative who hate gays as much as they pine for lost Soviet Russian imperial power. They’re pretty much the opposite of Americans and Europeans who love the USSR today. The DPRK itself is a hangover from the USSR days.

Definitely

Well yes poverty in North Korea is real, but not because she said so

Yes such is the way of nationalism

That’s true sadly

This is probably true

This was something that the USSR used to do as well

Of course I think that. It’s about as equally stupid as randomly hating on westerners

That’s only if you assume that China, unlike the USA, has no right-wingers and no intelligence services of its own

I just think it’s strange the poster introduced the concept of a sphere in the first place when it’s all the same

It’s just that social media is bad, there isn’t an east or west to it, so saying “western social media” is bad creates the false implication that there’s a better, non-western one.

I believe this is the philosophy of liberalism. They say capitalism can be useful but the state must keep it in check. As long as government can ultimately keep the reins on capitalism and under control, you get the optimum prosperity and social welfare. China experienced great economic growth when it turned to economic liberalism.

Definitely son

I kept two as pets when I was in high school and they are very sweet animals.
