How is DPRK isolationist? Is Cuba also "isolationist"? Is Iran "isolationist"? How about Yemen? And for that matter, Palestine?

What you call isolationism, most of the world call unilateral sanctions and war.

True. If I can ask for it, can you help by editing the meme? I did not make it, got it on reddit.

Or which font is the one used in the image?

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 2 points 5 hours ago

got u (it seems like a slightly thinner ComicSans font, or maybe there was some filter on it)

If anything is to be said than that the DPRK worked towards self sufficiency, which I guess people slander as isolationism. If a country suffers because of sanctions cutting them off, sometimes westerners can feel sorry for them but god forbid they help them selves.

Exactly right. It's never solidarity, at most pity. Same with all the "pro-Palestine" folks who condemn the resistance.

It is part of their believe that the system is all right but that there is, unfortunately the wrong personnel in charge... Which in turn makes life here much easier. People I know chose to believe this because of how comfortable it is. Not that anyone would admit it.
