I do wish finding information about them was easier. It always ends up being a game of believing either the US state department, or the DPRK. Obviously can't trust a word the US says, but I remain skeptical of what the DPRK says in a guided tour or in a glorified advertisement showing off a single new apartment building.
Would absolutely love to visit some day though. At worst, they don't live up to my expectations of a socialist paradise and are just like any other country. At best, they exceed my expectations and I become a follower of Juche. 😂
A lot of chinese people on XHS post about their vacations to DPRK
XHS? Is this some kind of app?
Yes, the app Xiaohongshu, also known as Rednote. Although originally aimed at people in China, the app saw a brief flash of popularity in Seppoland/USA after TikTok was banned.
TY!
Seppoland has become a more and more appropriate term
You think North Korea is a paradise? Lmao what
No, he is acknowledging he doesn't know anything about North Korea because he only has 2 completely unreliable sources.
You know even less because you don't even have a second source, and lack the critical thinking to realize it.
Read:
To clarify: I have certain expectations that I hold a socialist country to. The best case scenario would be that the DPRK meets all my expectations and is a socialist paradise. I have no belief that the DPRK does or does not meet those expectations.
You really don't understand context do you?
Do you? Lmao
