We in the democratic world are capable of making fun of our crazy leaders, even when there might be a clear bias to that information. Those with an agenda to pander to go crazy eyes when anyone in their ideological bubble godhood pantheon has anything that is near seeming borderline bad appear to be associated to them.
If you truly do care whether a despot bans hotdogs for their citizens as a matter of “truth” and “credibility”, it truly must be a slow day and for a weighted agenda. At least the downvote list for that comment should be useful to instance admins, but it’s fairly obvious why *cough* *cough* cross-posted to: counterpropaganda@hexbear.net (see profile)
Truth is always important. And hexbear is a broken clock, something something twice a day. North Korea is a dystopian dictatorship, but spreading lies does nothing to help at all. There are actual victims of authoritarianism in NK, and using their plight for sensationalism and clicks is just awful.
The fact is that these authoritarian states don’t want the possibility of any cultural mingling between societies, each has to be as alien as the other for the bubbles of ideology to sustain themselves. That makes it easy to vilify the other.
I see that you can’t really prove its false, it just seems strange to you so it must not be true.
I didn’t say china is better at all. And china cracks down on christmas festivals due to state atheism as i’ve said in another comment, not because it’s “western”.
America is the only major player that still has an olympus problem. Swearing fealty to the gods should not increase your chance of being elected - but it does in the wild west. We’re all tired of the US being a clown country, no need to point externally when there’s this many problems in the states. This post would go over great on reddit.
Also, your username is pretty close to just outright being a nazi dogwhistle. Maybe delete your account and try again.
Why care about truth or credibility, right?

The source routinely lies about this kind of shit.
You’ve been primed to believe this kind of bullshit to manufacture your consent for any and all heinous shit we continue to subject the DPRK to.
They are giving you an enemy that isn’t the capitalists currently exploiting you.

Too bad it isn’t a lie. That’s the thing about dictatorships, they can do whatever the fuck they want.
Why the fuck would NK want to ban hotdogs? literally what is the point of that?
Dictators can do whatever they want, but you think they write nonsensical laws for fun?
China does something akin to this, too:

Funny thing how the rest of the world can be atheist and still enjoy the holidays.
