You can criticize the US without making other authoritarian states look good. Both can be bad

    Any country that says that they don't have any "homeless or beggars" is either lying, or killing people on the street.

  • I like how this ignores that not only did the DPRK start the war, but the vast majority of the UN lined up behind South Korea, after the USSR stormed out of the security council meeting - they still had quorum, but the Soviets apparently assumed they didn’t, or would adjourn, or something. They didn’t. As a direct result, United Nations Command was established to specifically support South Korea in 1950.

    They absolutely can move to their favourite places. Iran, China, Russia -- But they never do. They're very lazy. Or perhaps deep down they know that their entire being is a trend that they latched onto to look better.

    If you ever bring it up they’ll say something along the lines of “well why don’t you pay for my move then”.

    Women and Men receive the same payment for the same work

    That payment? $24 per year.

    That's not a joke. That is the real number at the black market exchange rate.

    Yeah sure, NK is a total utopia. Especially like the part where it says "Workers are the owner of the means of production" as if they didn't have one dictator that was in charge without anyone really having a choice.

    99.9% alphabetization? This is what the USA has been missing. The founding fathers failed us.

    Why can't we just agree that both the US and DPRK are undemocratic?

    This I think is the indictment of the U.S.'s public education.
