Buy into propaganda much? You know all this because the US government told you or the BBC or some stupid major media news? If your not a sheep at least question everything they tell you. I'm sure NK is a pretty shitty environment, but I doubt it's as bad as all these media and other people say it is. If you want more propaganda that will actually make you think look up Crossing the line. It's about this army PFC that defected and crossed the DMZ back in the korean war by himself and currently lives in NK and loves it. Yes he's a traitor I know it's very Dishonerable. Yet it's another side to the story of NK most people don't get to hear about. Yes its probably more propaganda but At least we can see both sides and question the fuck out of the info. It's on Netflix if your interested or just torrent dl it. Point is we don't know shit unless we are there to witness it first hand. We are being fed hate rite now just like rite after 911 with the Muslims.
