That’s cool and all, but I’m mostly talking about how the government, specifically it’s leader, makes blanket statements about the health and happiness of the population, and there’s not only conflicting reports but actual evidence that some people in NK are actively starving.
This was to allude to the fact that Trump is acting like an authoritarian dictator.
The suffering of the North Korean people not withstanding.
I won’t argue that some crappy shit went down for them, but that wasn’t what I was trying to imply with my comment at all. I’m making a correlation between the current lies that we can factually disprove, being said by the government/leader of NK, and the same kind of lies coming from the government/leader of the USA.
By no means am I saying that the people of the USA, have it as bad as the people in North Korea.

Sure. Why fixate on material conditions when you can complain about rhetoric?

I see so many outrageous claims aimed at NK. There’s an entire cottage industry of people coming over to the US to spin insane stories full of blatant falsehoods, and Americans eat it up.
Google “Yeomni Park” for the highlights reel.
How do you decouple that from a critique of US propaganda?
I’m not here to convince you that my off the cuff remark is valid. If you disagree, that’s cool.
I can’t think of anything I could care less about right now than whatever chip you have on your shoulder about North Korea.
Believe what you want. The comment was supposed to be desparaging to the president of the USA… And spoiler… I’m not a US citizen. I don’t even live there.

Neat, huh?
Have a good day.
I’m glad to hear it. I was worried.
Have a good day.
