“Average persons across the globe, in Iraq, France, Brazil, Mexico, have more in common with the citizens of the DPRK than any billionaire. This is because the capitalistic elite do not understand what it is like to live a normal life where everything is granted at whim. Practically all average citizens across the globe are united in the struggle to live happily in an oppressive world whether they understand that or not.

The DPRK has its own internet that is inaccessible to outside users. Western media is not available on this internet. From my position I am an exception in my ability to use Western internet.“

Well this is a diplomat/official ,not a normal person ,they are a normal person but their job is to be on the internet and while I don’t know ,I think there’s more North Korean than we think on the internet

From what I know ,their life is more like people in the 50’s in America and other places in the world ,they have movies (Soviet movies) and their own cinema ,they have their own comic books named “Kurimchaek“ ,they have literature ,they go out to the park ,beach etc

Tbh their life is like people in the USSR , they have movies ,comics ,nice places to go to ,free housing (even for foreigners who are staying there 😭)

But I think they don’t have social media ,my friend Zuhair ,the one who introduced me to the North Korean in China ,Zuhair told me that Kye (that North Korean) was not used to social media

I don’t know if they have video games or can read manga form Japan because Japan is a country they deeply despise they do have their own comics
