I've heard from a lot of NATO leftists that China should be more like South Korea. People who say that only get their knowledge of that country from Kpop and Kdramas.

Please don't start defending North Korea, it's going too far
I can accept today's China, today's Russia takes quite the mental gymnastics but sure, North Korea though is plain too far
they're lying about china and russia, but telling the truth about the DPRK?
The DPRK has literally done nothing wrong lmao
Russia is an evil capitalist hellscape oligarchy, no one should defend Russia. But the DPRK's entire history has been one of oppression by the US. They haven't even had the chance to do anything evil if they wanted to lol
we respect the Red, White, and Blue around here, friend 
🇰🇵
So you can accept the Uyghur genocide but you can't accept DPRKs labour camps?
You're not allowed to talk about North Korea, at all, in any context or capacity, until you go read this book.
Like, you - specifically you - are forbidden from ever talking about the DPRK again, until you go read about what happened during the Korean war in this book. Every time you decide you want to say something about North Korea, I want you to ignore all those smirking news anchors and smug headlines telling you stories about unicorns, haircuts, and concentration camps and remember that you have to go read the book.
It's not a super long book. The link I provided is free. Go read it. Until you do, anything you say here about Korea is going to be laughed at, by all of us.
I'll check it out
Please do, and if you have questions come and ask us, everyone here will be glad to provide you with all the context or clarification you need. But I don't think you'll need it, it's not a particularly complex book.
i have a grasp on the history already but i wanted to check it out cause it looked like it would go more in depth. i just finished chapter one and wanted to say that this is a very good book so far. the writing is so easy to digest.
thanks for sharing, i hope more people read it.
I recommend it to anyone who's able to recognize they're obviously being denied a preposterous degree of context and information about Korea.
Damn, you seem to take a strong authoritarian line, you want to tell people which countries they can "defend", defend from what exactly? So any and all anti-Korean propaganda must go unchallenged according to you, because questioning any of it is "too far?" Just because you've internalized and enforce the thought control of your authoritarian society on yourself, doesn't give you a right to thought police others.
south Korea is one of the few countries on earth that seems like they'd be worse to live in, from a "hope for the future" point of view, than the US
Death to America
This is JUST LIKE SQUID GAME.
The US military did a test with something like 20 soldiers where they had to avoid detection by autonomous systems designed to detect humans.
Every single one of the soldiers used a different method and every single one of them succeeded in not getting killed by the system. Tactics varied from moving extremely slowly in prone position to literally metal gear solid hiding inside a cardboard box, one soldier covered themselves in tinfoil.
These will be no different. Easily defeatable simply by behaving in ways that are outside its detection, or not looking like a human being.
Seems silly of them considering how prolific North Korean hackers are, at least according to Western media. They'll just pass their silly hacking mini game and turn the turrets on South Korea
unlike the DPRK the South Korean military dictatorship installed by the USA actually did police haircuts [article]
