The funniest thing about how the west claims that everything in the DPRK is done by Kim Jong Un is that if it were actually true, maybe he'd actually deserve the acclaim and praise that the west says he gets? If he is capable of running a country of millions entirely by himself, that's pretty damn good effort.

The logic only works because they ascribe the same power to Western leaders but (a) that's okay because liberals don't use their power in an 'authoritarian' or 'totalitarian' way and (b) they're unwilling to self-crit.
