I’m mostly talking about how the government, specifically it’s leader, makes blanket statements about the health and happiness of the population

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

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

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?
