With a good military and weapons (and cool reveal video) that the US is scared of, why isn’t North Korea unlike South Korea functioning as a normal society?
Edit: Thank you everyone for telling me what’s on the other side of the “Great Wall” put there by the MSM. If any got offended by this post, I deeply apologize to you, and it will never happen again.

True, now that I think about it, I have been influenced by MSM + the vlogger. I wonder where I can get the “True Picture” of North Korea.
Pretty good video that starts to debunk some of the propaganda you’ve likely heard.
The best way is to travel there and study history + their political system, although traveling might be difficult due to restrictions with covid and other things.
Thanks for helping me change my views, which were previously changed by Burger land (saw this term from another post).
Anytime, comrade. We’re all here to help each other.
It’s pretty normal… normal socialist society.
Do you really think an entire country can just stage literally everything everytime? Have you ever seem actual proff of NK being an distopian hellhole? Think about it, do you think an country like what western news say about NK could actually function? Because NK looks pretty functional to me, so the distopian dictatorship western midia loves to screech about simply doesnt exist, all of the ridiculous stuff RFA and other western journauls say is just bullshit, they show no actual proff, so they cant proff it exists, so the most logical thing we can say is that it does not exist.
https://youtu.be/2BO83Ig-E8E True, this video has shown me the truth, and I have to say… The US is scared shitless of NK, and it’s making me laugh that they had to resort to intensify fake news coming from an unknown source. Also, I never had the intention to offend anyone cuz if I had posted this on Reddit, I could’ve had false views and narrative of that country.
There was a point in time in which North Korea was on track to economically outpace South Korea. Here, some organization called the Wilson Center, which i assume is just another capitalist idea production factory, acknowledges this but of course, caveats it on the aid that NK received from China, as if the SK capitalist economy wasn’t built upon the crushing of proletarian uprising through massacres, political disenfranchisement, and western powers working with SK compradors to create an economy to rival the NK example of socialism.
As the years went on, sanctions were imposed on NK, and ultimately, the Soviet Union collapsing almost completely isolated NK from the rest of the world economically, socially and politically.
Any western understanding of NK needs to be on the basis that the US killed 1/5th of the people of Korea in the war (and countless more through sanctions). 1/5 of the US population is 66 million people. 66 million people with dreams, hopes, fears, and aspirations. With that in mind, why would NK operate from a position of trust with the US?
The self reliance the Nk was forced to adopt is just ruthlessly flipped by western outlets to somehow prove it’s inherent evilness.
'scuse me, but what specifically “abnormal” do you find in it?
According to one of the Vlogger, Drew Binsky, everything is “staged” and the overall atmosphere is “sad”.
Beware of statements like that. What they usually mean is: “this country treats its citizens like adults, giving them what they need, but in turn demanding certain things of them.”
The fact is, the liberal mind demands infantilization. If you aren’t being entertained 24/7, if you have to take responsibilities, liberals will usually conclude that you’re miserable. There’s a reason why so many liberal utopias involve complete automation (probably impossible scientifically). But in fact growing up, and being happy, involves going outside the little bubble of your individuality and serving the community. People are species beings; they derive fulfillment from making things together, from advancing society in concert with other human beings. Liberals deny this, which is why they’re so damn miserable all the time. When was the last time you met a happy lib?
EDIT: I’ve heard the “staged” bit before, and I think this is what it refers to. Most healthy societies are a good deal more ritualistic than ours. Everything in the society tends to reference – to one degree or another – the things which that society holds as supremely important. (Note: I’m speaking of the superstructure here, not the base). In Europe, during the Middle Ages, that was the idea of God. In modern American society, that idea is money. In Korea, it is the revolution and the Juche Idea. You find that embodied everywhere, in posters and statues and murals, and to a certain extent probably referenced in people’s everyday speech. Westerners think this sort of thing is weird, but really, it’s not. It’s just normal, and human.
I totally agree. You know, the “confused” part of this whole “NK very bad” propaganda was that I cannot find an article or a video which shows NK in a positive light. Before doing this post, I tried to find something positive like the food, the lifestyle, etc. but all that popped up were propaganda and fake news.
I also agree with the lib mindset. A happy lib is a drunk lib, no lib is happy.
Mind you, I don’t hate North Korea because they are a part of the Cool Kids Club (i.e. China, Russia, Pakistan, Iran, etc.), like the title says I’m confused.
