North Korea is extremely bad. It's a horrible place, the regime is vile, it is a mockery of socialism, and there's almost nothing good to say about it.

Also, almost every "wacky DPRK" story that comes out of the South Korean media is a shameless preposterous lie

There's like a 666% chance that North Korea would nuke North Korea right off the map if the US tried invading, just to be like "gently caress you, everyone who survives this."

Good? No way Jose. But there's something to be said for the chutzpah it would take.

I've heard a (almost certainly apocryphal) story at church several times about the North Korean government executing Christian families by laying them down and running them over with a steamroller. I've heard this story multiple times several years apart, but it's always recounted as having happened a few weeks before, so I like to imagine there's a steamroller just slowly making its way across the country running over any Christians it encounters.

yeah, but I mean, who knows

maybe that footage was old. maybe it was a stunt double. maybe they just threw a pair of sunglasses on the corpse and Weekend at Bernies'd him

until I personally meet with the guy in a DNA laboratory to verify his identity & ensure that he's not an elaborate android, I refuse to believe that he is alive, dead, or was ever born in the first place

I'm still weirded out that the North Koreans let a Confucianist cult have its own political party, and even lets them have seats in their parliament.
