North Korea has the world’s worst human rights, so when they made it sound like only one country had this issue, that was my guess. I’m in North America and never experienced what is described. Unless I’m wrong to have even the amount of faith required to believe there are no North Korea denialists here.
You understand propaganda like a fish understands water

The federation aspect of Lemmy is acting up again, the image won't show up for me except as a transparent block (I assume it's supposed to show something).
dang, unfortunate. it was an emote, a picture of famous North Korea liar/grifter Yeonmi Park, inventor of many truths such as: "North Koreans don't have a word for depression", "the word for friend is banned in North Korea", and (my favorite) "the trains in North Korea don't work so people have to push the trains wherever they go".
According to who?
Could it be, the United States? The most vicious and bloody empire the world has ever known?
That aside (like, wow, holy fuck)
If you could not recognize the earlier comments as an indication of western capitalism, you are rich or otherwise so privileged you cannot comprehend the struggles of the average person
Or maybe you're overreacting a little. I don't deny struggles such as those by the average person, but being unable to take care of one's health is not one of them. That's also why I answered "North Korea" to someone's assertion that there's a place where this is an issue. America allows people to take time away to recuperate, even for mental health, and has this thing called SSI for the chronically unhealthy.
