        I don’t think anyone is arguing the US wasn’t responsible for the current state of affairs, but ok

      Compared the glutenous western capitalists, of course! The people of NK rebuilt their country with blood, sweat, and tears after the US bombed them to hell and back under the direction of the occupiers and despite the west’s utter determination to hold them back technologically with ridiculous unjustified sanctions

    Downvoted for speaking the truth as usual, most westerners react poorly to being reminded that they’re not immune to propaganda

      Capitalism’s ‘bread and circus’ might be the most addictive drug of all, they close their minds off to anything that goes against the narratives because the western audience would rather not think about it and enjoy the fruits of the exploitation. Blissful ignorance and all that

        Except they’ve been steadily scaling back both the bread and the circuses for decades now and westerners are generally as willfully ignorant as ever

    Yeah after a good bit of my own investigation, they just seem on par with any other poor country. Not something I’m going to worship, but not something I’m going to spend time complaining about either.
