This is a good point, we should ask some average North Koreans directly, that way we get a better balance of viewpoints. Maybe we can catch some on a vacation abroad or something.

You actually can, they usually go to places like China and Russia which they share close trade ties and land bridges with.

Would you believe it if they said that it's not actually that bad?

I'd believe that people are living happy, fulfilling lives there, sure, people usually find a way to do that regardless of their situation. But I'm pretty sure it's not just propaganda that the same damn family has been in charge for the better part of a century, and that alone is enough for me to conclude that it is a fundamentally broken system that, even if it somehow isn't as repressive and evil as it's portrayed, will get there eventually.
