You don't even have to do anything but look at their own propaganda to realize something is up. the way they praise Kim jong un is creepy

In the cartoon squirrel and hedgehog they portray one of the characters being a child soldier as a good thing the overall message of the show is that you should always be willing to sacrifice yourself for your country (despite this cartoon being propaganda it's pretty good give it a watch)

I don't understand DPRK Stans.

    I don't disagree that the personality cult around the Kim's is a troubling part of the DPRK's political culture, I don't think that kind of thing is necessarily conducive to a healthy democracy. But, this is a country that has been forcibly chopped in half, bombed so much that people were forced to live in caves, and has been cut off from the global economy by US sanctions.

    If you expect a country to endure that without issues, then you're crazy. If you want to end that cult of personality, you should be advocating for an end to sanctions, and end to the Korean War, the removal of US military bases and an internationally mediated settlement between North and South Korea about what the peninsula's future might look like.
